A very good short read about the various haunted locations in Las Vegas Nevada. I liked that the author detailed a lot about the past of these city's and specific locations, it really made the reader understand why theses towns and places could be haunted. I do wish that the author went into more detail about the events (light orbs, voices, shadows, etc.) themselves, too often they were regulated to a short paragraph after the history of the location. Overall, a very good short read about the haunted history of Las Vegas, I would recommend this book to anyone!

3.5 stars, rounded up

Reasons for rounding up/what I liked:
-This book had a little bit of everything from every county
-Just enough info to give you an idea of the story without dragging it out/over dramatizing it (most of the tales are only a couple paragraphs long; longer ones are 1-2 pages)
-There were some stories I was unaware of, so I learned something new

Things I didn't like so much:
-Only thing that comes to mind is I would have liked some of the more bone-chilling stories to have been covered (this collection primarily covered friendly/mildly upset/celebrity ghosts), but I guess the creepier ones wouldn't have done well in abbreviated format...

If these are the best ghost stories they could come up with, Nevada isn't very haunted.

Interesting to read and learn not only about the ghosts, but also some history about Nevada.
