Easy Guides
2 total works
In previous editions, this was the first guidebook to Vegas to recognize the increasing tendency of visitors to take in the non-gambling attractions of Sin City; no other book better captures the current outlook and desires of the city's visitors. In highly opinionated prose and careful attention to price and other details, our easily-consulted Easy Guide casts a close eye on what's outstanding and full of value and what's not. It more than upholds a 60-year Frommer history of candid commentary and independent -- often scathing -- judgment.
It's not easy to keep up with the changes in "Sin City". That's why this guide is updated yearly by a savvy local who has the right sort of sense of humor for this city. Grace Bascos has devoted many years to chronicling this evolution in Vegas and seeking to capture its essence. How did she come to be a travel writer? "Too short to be a showgirl", she writes, "too bad at math to be a card dealer, I earn my keep in Vegas the next best possible way: as a freelance food and travel writer dedicated to all things Sin City. When I'm not eating, drinking, partying and relaxing through town for my craft, I write a weekly dining column...I am also a regular contributor to USA Today's Experience Las Vegas blog, as well as many other local and regional publications." This guide is updated yearly and comes in a large, easy-to-read font. It contains: - Exact pricing so there's never any guesses - A handy pull-out map, plus dozens of maps within - Opinionated advice on EVERYTHING from the raunchy to the gourmet. -16-page photo guide, with vibrant photographs, at the front of the book and black and white photos throughout
