Las Vegas Then and Now® [Chung, Su Kim] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Las Vegas Then and Now® Review: Las Vegas, then and now! - Excellent book about the history of Las Vegas compared to current days in Las Vegas. Wonderful write up and great photos. Highly recommend this book if you’re a Las Vegas lover. Review: Excellent book--2nd edition even better! - For anyone who likes Las Vegas, this is a real find. The photos alone, in the usual format of putting the vintage photo on the left page with the corresponding new photo on the right, is good enough, but wow, the text is really informative, with lots of great Vegas stories and lore. I confess I often skip over the text in photo books like this, but it's so much fun to read, without being overblown, wordy or filled with Vegas boosterism. The author really did her homework. When I bought this, the paperback version wasn't out yet, so I bought the hardback, and boy, I'm glad I did. The second edition has a sticker saying "completely updated and revised" and it isn't kidding. Some of the "now" photos look like they were taken yesterday. By far the best book on Vegas I've seen. You won't go wrong with this. (I know, the tone of this review sounds like I'm a shill. Get the book and you'll see that I'm not!)

Great history
This is the 2nd version of the book with all new photographs of the current places in Las Vegas. A great history to have in any personal library.

I would purchase again
Looks like photo. Bought for a going away gift for a couple being stationed in Vegas. They can learn some history about their new home and help decide what or where they want to visit. We all signed the back with well wishes.

Great book
I gave it as a gift to my friend who loves Vegas. It has tons of info and pictures about the city of "lost wages." I recommend it to anyone who loves Las Vegas and wants to know more about the city.

Really interesting pictures and information. Got it for my Husband, who is quite into architecture. He was really surprised what some of the places we've been to have changed.
