Forget New York City: Las Vegas truly is the city that never sleeps. Recently ranked as one of the ten most dynamic cities on earth by Newsweek, the most extreme, absurd and outrageous destination in the US draws more than 37 million visitors a year, and not all of them are gamblers: some come for weddings, others for conventions, still others for family breaks and many more for weekend-long parties.
The city's famous hotel-casino resorts continue to get grande, with new restaurants boosting the town's reputation as a gastronome's delight, high-budget shows wowing sell-out crowds, and buzzing nightclubs catering to millions of visiting hedonists. Viva Las Vegas indeed...
There are plenty of good guide books about Las Vegas, and this is not one of them. My tip is if this book says that a particular venue is not worth a visit then you should go there.
