Pssst, Guys. Read this Book.

One of the most frank guidebooks available is Las Vegas Little Black Book: A Guy’s Guide to the Perfect Vegas Weekend (Justin Charles & Co.). Sure, it offers tips on where to eat, stay and gamble. But Little Black Book bends over backward with tips for fellas (sorry, ladies) on draining the most fun out of a guy’s weekend. The pocket-size book is written by Vegas insider David deMontmollin and co-conspirator Hiram Todd Norman. Sprinkled throughout are “Classic Vegas Mistakes” and “If Money Is No Object” sidebars. Two exemplary nuggets:

• “You Versus the Buffet. Avoid the soup. You are at a buffet with a thousand other people opening up huge vats of soup. Trust us, the soup sucks.”

• “10 Reasons To Avoid Playing Golf. 1. Las Vegas is in the desert. Don’t be fooled by the fountains at Bellagio. You’re in a parched wasteland . . .”
