INTRODUCTION FROM THE AUTHOR

SB-LocalAtmosphere-WarmWelcome to your guide to all the decadent fabulousness that Las Vegas, Nevada has to offer. This chapter will introduce you to the best gambling spots, greatest sights, hottest clubs, and most fantastic food available for you to experience on the Strip and beyond. The hardcore partier, the gambler, the friend of the arts, the eternal sightseer, and the shopping lover all will find themselves wishing they had more time to spend in this almost magical city. Vegas will be everything you want it to be---you just have to decide what, exactly, that is.

My trip to Sin City was more fun than I ever dreamed it would be. However, in a city like Las Vegas, it's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed by all the options available to you. There was so much to see between the clubs, the shows, the sightseeing, and the shopping that I hardly knew where to begin. This guide will help you sort out the interesting from the enthralling and the moderately amusing from the trip essentials to allow you to create the perfect, tailor-made vacation. So, grab your cash, your camera, and some extra olives for that martini because we're going to Vegas.
