New Book Reveals the Secret World Beneath Las Vegas

Author finds people, art, mystery, and myth in the tunnels of Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, NV – When a psychotic killer escaped a manhunt by disappearing into the storm-drain tunnels in downtown Las Vegas and emerging near the Strip, it stimulated the curiosity of Las Vegas editor/writer Matthew O’Brien. Armed with a flashlight, tape recorder, and expandable baton, O’Brien explored the Las Vegas flood-control system for more than four years. Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas chronicles O’Brien’s adventures in this uncharted underworld.

This book and DVD set is a true delight. "What's Cheap And Free In Cancun and The Yucatan" by Brenton S. Mulliner provides an insider's guide to the best way to visit the Cancun area - including what hotels to stay at, where to go (and where not to go), ruins, beaches, scuba diving and the wonders of Aktun Chen, Excaret, Xel Ha, Tulum, Holbox and others. You can learn the best times and the best way to enjoy all of these and many other fun activities. As the author lives in Playa del Carmen, near Cancun, the info is accurate and insightful. The info is exceptional and very down to earth, and the accompanying DVD is charming. Reading about a destination is always good but actually seeing, and vicariously experiencing, the sites and sounds, adds a lot more. Even though I have visited this area before, I found new facts and details that made the book and DVD well worth the money.

Updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Cancan, Cozumel & the Yucatan spotlight gorgeous color photos of the stunning beaches, the colorful underwater world, and the mysterious Maya ruins that await you. This authoritative guide captures all the glitter of Cancun, as well as the more rustic and authentic charms of Cozumel, which boasts world-class diving and snorkeling in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The authors have lived in and written about Mexico for years, so they're able to provide candid reviews of all the beach resorts, the best local dining, and the latest, hottest nightlife.

The book also features the sleepy beachfront towns, sea turtle preserves, and fascinating inland towns where you can bargain in local markets. Also included is a handy Spanish-language glossary, accurate regional and town maps (including site plans of the major ruins), up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, a free color fold-out map, and an online directory that makes trip-planning a lot easier
