The Las Vegas City Guides answer the questions every first-timer has: where locals eat once they leave the Strip, which spectacles cost nothing, how to spend a night Downtown for half the price and how far the desert really is. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or book and one practical tip for every place. It opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Lotus of Siam
East Flamingo Road
A strip-mall Thai restaurant that chefs and critics have been driving out to for years. Skip the pad thai, order from the northern Thai side of the menu and ask for less heat if you need it, because the spice is serious. From the food guide.
Fountains of Bellagio
In front of Bellagio, Las Vegas Blvd
Jets of water rise hundreds of feet in time to music, and watching costs nothing. Shows come every half hour in the afternoon and every quarter of an hour in the evening, so the wait is always short. From the things to do guide.
Badwater Basin
Death Valley, 18 miles south of Furnace Creek
A blinding white salt flat below sea level, about the size of a small town. Walk a mile out on the crust as it crunches under your shoes, and after winter rain look for a thin lake on the surface. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days with the guides
Day one: walk one stretch of the Strip with the things to do guide, from the Bellagio fountains to the free gardens, then head to Chinatown for dinner from the food guide. Day two: drive out early to Red Rock or Hoover Dam with the day trips guide and spend the evening in the bars of Downtown. On a slow or rainy day, the family and budget guides send you to an aquarium, a hall of pinball machines, free sights indoors and a long diner breakfast.
