It’s not easy to keep up with the changes in “Sin City”. That’s why this guide is updated yearly by a savvy local who has the right sort of sense of humor for this city. Grace Bascos has devoted many years to chronicling this evolution in Vegas and seeking to capture its essence. How did she come to be a travel writer? "Too short to be a showgirl", she writes, "too bad at math to be a card dealer, I earn my keep in Vegas the next best possible way: as a freelance food and travel writer dedicated to all things Sin City. When I'm not eating, drinking, partying and relaxing through town for my craft, I write a weekly dining column…I am also a regular contributor to USA Today's Experience Las Vegas blog, as well as many other local and regional publications.”
