About this listen

Along with "what happens here stays here" and "Circus Circus isn't that bad", one of the biggest Las Vegas myths is that so-called insiders are the city's best sources of tips, reviews, and information. Often, however, obsessive Las Vegas visitors offer more trustworthy suggestions and accurate insights about the Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street. An unapologetic Las Vegas outsider, author Tim Dressen shares advice, hints, and unfiltered opinions gathered as cohost of Five Hundy by Midnight, the Original Las Vegas Podcast, for more than a decade. With the same irreverent spirit as the podcast, The Outsiders' Guide to Las Vegas is packed with useful information, entertaining perspectives, and more than a few off-the-rails rants. This is the Las Vegas guide by an outsider, inspired by outsiders, and for outsiders.

I'm probably not this book's target audience in that I have no plans to visit the city in the near future. But since few of us are doing much travel at the moment, I bought this largely to travel vicariously, and it's great for that. The book is packed with information and it's irreverent tone makes it a fun listen. Assuming you're not put off by the author/narrators sarcastic, cynical and scatological sense of humour.

Unfortunately it was written in 2015, so who knows how much was still valid even before Covid struck. But on the off-chance that anything mentioned here is still there by the time you get to go there: there's plenty of great info to guide you. If nothing else, it's a colourful snapshot of the city at the time of writing.

The author does a very solid job as his own natatory, ably assisted by his wife who makes brief appearances.

Entertaining and informative, but pre-Covid.

I started this audiobook thinking it would be a great guide to Las Vegas, I didn't expect it to be as funny as it was insightful. Genuinely entertaining listen. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Excellent guide, great read.

You may think that an audio guide to Las Vegas is like someone reading the lonely planet but this is far from that! Yes, it has the format of a travel guide but the stories, experience and witty commentary make it a must listen. It also means that the fact that it was recorded several years ago doesn’t matter. A great listen for all Vegas fans.

Entertaining - it shouldn’t work but it does!
