The Frugal Gambler covers the ways to make money using coupons and working the comp and slot club systems. It shows you how to win more and lose less at both table games and on the machines. If free is your favorite word, as it is for the author, then you must read this book before you walk into any casino in the United States.

One of the most interesting things about Las Vegas is how quickly it grew from almost nothing to its
present size and stature as an entertainment and gaming mecca. What is equally remarkable is that this development took place in the middle of an inhospitable desert. Ninety years ago, the valley in which Las Vegas sits featured a handful of small, dusty ranches. Today, a huge city, perhaps the most unusual in the world, occupies the valley, and a million people call it home. Thirty million people per year visit this desert paradise. Las Vegas: The Great American Playground, illustrated with many fine historical photographs, traces the city's history from its Native American occupants more than 10,000 years ago to its present status as a premiere tourist destination. It is the story of a group of colorful and enterprising
individuals who made the desert bloom with undreamed-of possibilities.

Hiking Las Vegas offers locals and tourists an alternative to the casinos. It is the only guidebook to the area that offers complete and accurate descriptions of 60 hikes all within an one-hour drive of the Las Vegas Strip. The hikes range from easy, which the whole family can enjoy, to extremely difficult. The "quick reference section" includes: distance of the hike, elevation gain, time to complete, difficulty, danger level, and if suitable for children. Photos of key landmarks and a map of each hike are also included.
The author of the best-selling Hiking Las Vegas details 50 new adventures-on-foot within an hour's drive of the bright lights of Las Vegas. Step-by-step directions, easy-to-follow maps, and quick-reference features guide you to and from the best trails in the area. From the multi-colored sandstone of Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire to the crisp air and serenity of Mt. Charleston and the hot springs of Lake Mead, Hiking Southern Nevada is indispensable for anyone who wants to experience this magnificent corner of the Southwest.
An oversized (9X12) full-color cookbook and Las Vegas souvenir culinary guide. The author, Sarah Lee Marks, interviewed 26 chefs at Las Vegas' top restaurants—including Picasso's Julian Serrano and Simon Kitchen's Kerry Simon—and tells their stories in one-page chef profiles. She also acquired two of each chef's favorite recipes, for a total of 52 dishes you can use to recreate a Las Vegas fine-dining experience. In addition, the full-page food photography is spectacular. It's a great gift for anyone who enjoys eating at the top-shelf Las Vegas restaurants.
