The Complete Las Vegas is an omnibus of three books by M. J. Veaudry: Las Vegas Travel Tips, Mike's Guide to Better Slot Play and Casino Games Demystified. This book is intended for people who want to see more of Las Vegas than just the inside of a casino. Maybe you are with someone during a conference. Perhaps your companion likes to gamble, but you do not. Maybe you just want to have some fun in the sun, take in a few shows or spend a day at the spa. Whatever your interests are, Part 1 of this book will help you find what you are looking for. There are no paid endorsements, everything is based on Mike's own experience over the past thirty plus years in Las Vegas. The book covers planning ideas before the trip, information on finding discounts, the best shopping, the best spas and several outstanding tours that will bring you up close and personal with the wonder and beauty of the Mojave Desert. Because it is Las Vegas, there are chapters on entertainment, the author's pick of the must see attractions and of course, dinning out. If you would like to try your hand at gambling, Part 2 of the book will show you how you can improve your slot play by having a better understanding of how slot machines really work. Mike will discuss a number of rules, techniques and betting strategies that will make you a better slot player. The truth is that no one ever learns how to be a good slot player. However, if you follow Mike's guidelines your money will last longer and you may actually go home with money in your pocket. The book will not tell you how to win a jackpot. If someone really knew how to do this, do you think they would write a book on it. Part 3 of the book will describe six common Las Vegas table games. It will explain the rules, table ettiequte and playing strategy of each game. You will also be provided with step-by-step instructions on how to get to the table and play with confidence.

In this lively and probing book, award-winning author Pete Earley traces the extraordinary evolution of Las Vegas -- from the gaudy Mecca of the Rat Pack era to one of the country's top family vacation spots. He revisits the city's checkered history of moguls, mobsters, and entertainers, reveals the real stories of well-known power brokers like Steve Wynn and legends like Howard Hughes and Bugsy Siegel, and offers a fascinating portrait of the life, death, and fantastic rebirth of the Las Vegas Strip. Earley also documents the gripping tale of the entrepreneurs behind the rise and fall and rise again of one of the largest gaming corporations in the nation, Circus Circus -- to which he was given unique access. In his trademark you-are-there style, he takes us behind the scenes to meet the blackjack dealers and hookers, the heavy hitters and bit players, the security officers, cabbies, and showgirls who are caught up in the mercurial pace that pulses at the heart of this astounding city.
The Complete Idiot's Travel Guides the perfect choice for readers who are unfamiliar with a destination, for inexperieced traveler's -- or for travelers who just want extremely, opinionated advice that's easy to scan and enjoyable to read.
(Applause Books). Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, this is the screenplay of the movie. Includes thoughts by both Tony Grisoni and Terry Gilliam. "Transferred to the screen by Gilliam with a fidelity to the author's imagery ... here it is in all its splendiferous funhouse terror; the closest sensory approximation of an acid trip ever achieved by a mainstream movie." The New York Times
