addition to the books of Travel Know-How Verlag the books by DK one of my favorite travel guides because, in addition to the information and the layout is correct and desire to make the corresponding destination, while others travel guides are prepared in a manner as to prevent her from traveling wöllten. It was only logical that I have given before my first Las Vegas visit DK preference over the competition. Unfortunately this time I was a little disappointed because there are also in the new edition aktualierten but some information is not quite up to date. Perhaps this is but also on the subject: Usually New York City "the city that never sleeps" called. Not only does this not entirely true, as a recent photo essay the "sleepy" New York proves, I think even now that this title actually Las Vegas deserves. Along the Las Vegas Boulevard life never really seems to stand still. And who enters six in the morning one of the many casinos will always find a table with poker players and people at the machines and roulette tables. Possibly is associated with the restless, the always-in-motion-to be a fast pace that can be captured in a travel guide is limited.
That change addresses and as the address mentioned in the book is no longer the Tourist Information Chamber of Commerce voted or not a named Internet Cafe is locate - a gift, something happened. Somewhat annoying is when trends and developments in "Sin City" to remain anonymous. For example, the "popular" Shopping Mall Neonopolis is mentioned. Most users will find the spot quickly that it is more or less just an empty shell in which virtually nothing at all happened. Other malls are "some bookstores" ascribed in fact there are not one more. Misinformation of this kind are the ones who feel , Give the author his ear on the pulse of the city had and the book is therefore not appropriate in any case as the only information sources. Despite these weaknesses, the asset classification and presentation to convince the Guide. The performance of individual hotels and attractions are in for DK usual, very pleasant way, so the book should count on the German market in spite of all the top offers.
Conclusion: As a "starter" can use the book by DK well, but should complement a new book in English to be used by such Frommers, Fodors or Lonely Planet , However, you can specify the site. Good book shops can be found on the Maryland Parkway 3860 ( Barnes and Noble ) and on the Las Vegas Blv. (In Town Square -Areal, Borders).
