(Snobby, uppity, opinionated, and not objective!)
From CaffeineFiend at Amazon.com:
Simply put: Don’t waste your time on this book. You’re not going to find it a useful resource…let alone an objective resource! The author is uppity, snobby and very opinionated.
Filled with excessive profanity, “Eating Las Vegas” is the author’s highly subjective views favoring high end restaurants. To him, buffets are like eating out of the garbage. He hates people who go to Vegas for conferences or work, aka what he calls “asses with money”. He hates the casual Sin City tourist like men in cargo shorts and women in yoga pants worn “usually on people with asses to big to be wearing them.” Seriously, would you take advice from this clown?
There’s a reason why he’s divorced and enjoys eating out alone.
While I know eating is very subjective and to each to his/her own, but this silly, arrogant clod has no credibility with me. No help.
You’re better off looking at a Fodor’s or Unofficial Guides to Vegas for very insightful, credible and well-written advice from objective and professional authors.
Guilty as charged.
Except for the excessive profanity part. To the best of our recollection, we drop the F-bomb once, and throw the S-H-I-T word around a couple of times.
And except for the whole Fodor’s, Unofficial Guides-thing….which are guidebooks thrown together by free-lancers who hardly ever step foot in the places they list.
Other than that, this bloke has us pegged harder than Donald Trump with a porn star.
Thank you for buying and reading, CaffeineFiend!
