The Outsiders' Guide to Las Vegas - Tapa blanda

Along with “what happens here stays here” and “Circus Circus isn’t that bad,” one of the biggest Las Vegas myths is that so-called insiders are the city’s best sources of tips, reviews, and information. Often, however, obsessive Las Vegas visitors offer more trustworthy suggestions and accurate insights about the Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street. An unapologetic Las Vegas outsider, author Tim Dressen shares advice, hints, and unfiltered opinions gathered as cohost of Five Hundy by Midnight, the Original Las Vegas Podcast, for more than a decade. With the same irreverent spirit as the podcast, The Outsiders’ Guide to Las Vegas is packed with useful information, entertaining perspectives, and more than a few off-the-rails rants. This is the Las Vegas guide by an outsider, inspired by outsiders, and for outsiders.

Tim Dressen is producer and cohost (along with his bride, Michele) of Five Hundy by Midnight, the first podcast devoted to Las Vegas news, reviews, and commentary. Debuting on Jan. 9, 2005, the show has attracted thousands of devoted listeners in all 50 states and more than three dozen countries. Five Hundy has also garnered media attention from publications including The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Las Vegas Review-Journal. The readers of VegasTripping voted Five Hundy by Midnight the Best Las Vegas Podcast eight times—every year it has been eligible—and voted Dressen the Las Vegas Person of the Year in 2015. He is also the editor of FremontStreetBars.com, a guide to the Downtown Las Vegas bar scene. A professional writer and editor by trade, Dressen earned a bachelor’s degree in print journalism from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. He has visited Las Vegas more than 60 times since 1997 but has no desire to live there. He remains an unapologetic Las Vegas outsider.
