拉斯維加斯魔幻

I picked this up before a weekend trip and ended up reading the whole history section on the old neon signs before I even packed. It's a slim book but the neighborhood-by-neighborhood walkthroughs actually helped me plan where to wander.

The bit about the old neon signs being swapped for LEDs was a fun detail I didn't expect in a travel book. It gave me real context for wandering Fremont Street instead of just a list of casinos to visit.

I expected a dry history lesson and instead got a fun read on how the city's LED signs replaced the old neon ones. The section on the Mojave Desert setting gave me a real sense of how Vegas grew up in the middle of nowhere. Read it on the flight out and finished before we landed.
