Las Vegas A Pictorial Celebration

Fueled by the poker craze and hit TV shows, Las Vegas is hot, with more than 37 million visitors annually. But the city is more than just bright lights and blackjack, as Michael Green, professor and Editor-in-Chief of the "Nevada Historical Society Quarterly" proves. Follow the fascinating, sometimes scandalous stories behind the glittery facade with splendid images that capture both the man-made glitz and nature's splendor. Experience the old-from the Mojave Desert to the downtown Paiute colony-that offers a refreshing change of pace from the central action. Go into the neighborhoods where locals live their everyday lives. And, of course, walk down every inch of the famous Strip: hotels and casinos; fun sites such as the Elvis-O-Rama Museum; and arcades, malls, bars, and landmarks.Penn, Elan is the author of 'Las Vegas A Pictorial Celebration' with ISBN 9781402723858 and ISBN 1402723857.
