Michelin Guide Paris 2010 (English), 4e: Hotels & Restaurants (Michelin Red Guide Paris) Review

Average Reviews:

There are thousands of restaurants in Paris. They're everywhere, and sometimes the really good ones are hidden down a tiny side street. Choosing one out of the multitude is a daunting task--one made tractable by this guide.
We found all of the reviews to be extremely accurate. They rate not only the food, but also the atmosphere of the several hundred restaurants in the book, so choosing one that fits you is very easy. We also used it as a map book--they were the best maps of Paris that we encountered on our trip.
Note that it's not just the starred restaurants that make it into this book--we found a wonderful little Basque place that was extremely informal and welcoming, and the polar opposite of haute cuisine.
We will be buying the appropriate Michelin guide for all of our future trips.
If you enjoy food, you need to buy this book.

The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2010 (Unofficial Guides) Review

The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2010 (Unofficial Guides)

I purchased this along with Fodor's Las Vegas 2010 and Frommer's Las Vegas 2010. This book has the most pages. They break down everything in terms of a rating, price, etc. for shows they tell you the slowest time of the week for the show, the length of the show, as well as a description. It breaks down the top restaurants and buffets.
This book has information regarding shows, hotels, restaurants, nightlife. There are little tips here and there but none i found that i didn't already really know.
What I don't like is that there are no pictures--and there are very few visual breaks for me so sometimes the pages can be a bit overwhelming. I loved the Fodor's book the best for layout and pictures as well as side trip information.
The difficulty in rating is that there are some things I like about Fodor's better and it gives better information and some things I like about this one better--this one has more information about buffets--which kind of excite me. I'm wondering if the only thing i will be doing is eating!
After looking at Fodors and this book over and over, it really has become more of a tie for me between the two. Frommers on the other hand is clearly not on par with either of these books and provides the least amount of information on everything.
If you are only looking to be in Las Vegas, then this is probably the best book. If however, you are like me and also wanting to do day trips or side trips, I would also purchase Fodor's Guide to Las Vegas 2010 as it has a lot more information about those. (63 pages on side trips--as opposed to 6 pages in this book).
I hope this help you make a decision on which book is best.
I learned from this book about the "M" casino that has an excellent buffet for fairly inexpensive. it is a little south of the strip so a lot of people don't know about. so far, it is our favorite buffet. although we will be going to Wynn soon because they are suppose to have an excellent buffet also.
I highly recommend buying and reading at least 1 of these guides--this or fodor's as there is so much information that you may not find out if you just come.

Sometimes there are publications, which are long awaited by professionals, and people wonder why no author had the idea earlier to cover this topic. The Complete Guide to Foodservice in Cultural Institutions is such a book. Dedicated to high frequented attractions like art museums, concert halls, or Zoos, it serves as a key guide to offer services which are in fact the secret of hospitality and visitor orientation in a cultural venue.
Arthur M. Manask, a foodservice consultant in California, introduce both easy-to-understand issues and unexpected opportunities of how to develop an own service in catering, offer refreshments and organize regular special events combined with meal and drinks. As simple it sounds, as hard it might be for smaller organisation with limited staff. Manask introduces some solutions as a combination of internal and external human resources. Catering companies are growing not only in the US, so the chance to find appropriate partners whose assist in establish successful food services, is high.
The publication cares not only about exclusive content, it has an exclusive outfit, too. We can strongly recommend to buy this book - fresh ideas for a complete marketing strategy in a modern arts venue. We can award it with 5 stars - like for a restaurant.--Dirk Heinze, Arts Management Network

Serving food in museums, aquariums, zoos, and other cultural institutions has become an important profit-making venture for many of these organizations, but one that they are not always well equipped to handle.This unique book provides administrators and managers at cultural institutions with the tools needed to create new restaurants, operate existing ones, develop and grow catering and special events operations, and improve their profitability.

Michelin Red Guide 2001 London: Hotels and Restaurants (Michelin Reg Guide London) Review

If you are spending more than a few days in London to "see the sights", then you must have this book. All other tour guides to London are superficial in their coverage of the major museums and tourist sights. This book offers the details the others lack, with well written descriptions of the collections of the major museums including their highlights. The strength of this book is when you want to know more about a particular museum or sight than where it is and when it is open; it is actually most useful when you are in the particular sight. This book does NOT cover hotels, restaurants, etc.; for that information, try any of the other guide books on the market.
