 Viva Las Vegas October 12, 2008
It's a nice big book with plenty of contrasting photos of various locales in Las Vegas.
Each photo, old and new, comes with a brief description and/or historical fact of the structure or location. The info is informative and interesting.
While I enjoyed the photos that were presented, the format makes it too "black and white". So basically you get the very beginning photo and then the most current photo(usually in the 21st century).
Would've been nice if they could've included some transition photos, as a lot of casinos went thru various changes throughout the years.
Overall though, I enjoyed the book as it managed to evoke my deep memories of Sin City.

I drove through Las Vegas in 1975 and was so unimpressed I didn't even stop and get out of the car. I wanted to see if this book had any photos from that era and was pleased to find out my memory wasn't faulty. I was also there in the mid '60s and the late '90s and the book didn't let me down on those memories, either.
Excellent Book! December 16, 2004

I was finally able to visit Las Vegas last year and bought several Vegas books as souvenirs. Unfortunately, most of the books only provided information on present-day Las Vegas. Also wanted were pictures of the Las Vegas I had seen on TV as a kid. After all, that is what gave it its magic & attraction to me.
This book provides that. Pictures of the old & new are featured on opposite pages for easy comparison. The pictures are large, sharp, & clear, & are of excellent quality to this layman's eye. They are also accompanied by short paragraphs of essential facts such as build dates & owners, along with information peculiar to the specific buildings.
I highly recommend this book to the nostalgist.
