from Heyday Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
We purchased this field guide to take on dayhikes and camping trips in the Sierra's with our 5 yr old daughter. We have thoroughly enjoyed it! It is very easy to use.

2.Winner Takes All: Steve Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, Gary Loveman, and the Race to Own Las VegasWinner Takes All: Steve Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, Gary Loveman, and the Race to Own Las Vegas
from Hyperion
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
I'm sure I'll see Las Vegas in a different light after reading this book. You can't help but be fascinated by these larger-than-life characters. Steve Wynn is without a doubt the most interesting character in the book, but viewing the city as a competition between titans is something I've never... more info

3.Bringing Down the House : The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for MillionsBringing Down the House : The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions
from Free Press
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I liked the story behind what these kids did. It was exciting and scandolous. I didn't like the actual people in the story. Most of them seem like overpriveleged brats who were looking for a free lunch. I was also a tad disappointed with how simple their methods really were. It had less to do with... more info

from HarperTrophy
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
Dragon's Gate seems to be quite the marvelous book to read. I always favored the Chinese culture, and it was pleasing to learn more about it. Though I didn't really understand half of it. It didn't seem to get through my head when it was mentioned Otter was adopted by a new woman, who was married to... more info

I bought this book for a mandatory class at college on Nevada Constitution. Although I wouldn't have chosen to read this book on my own, it is not as boring as one would have thought. It is well written and even intriguing at times.

I initially found this book in the library and enjoyed it so much I wanted my own copy to carry with me when out hiking in the Tucson, AZ area. Informative, accurate, and easy to access information.

10.Super Casino: Inside the New Las VegasSuper Casino: Inside the "New" Las Vegas
from Bantam
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
No, Super Casino is not super. It is very interesting at times, but suffers from being badly disjointed. It roughly tells the story of Circus Circus, and its eventual growth into a huge corporation that owns all kinds of casinos throughout the country. The first 150 pages or so is a history of Las... more info
