John Wilson interviewed at “Simplifying Las Vegas”

by John Wilson

 

Head on over to Simplifying Las Vegas blog ran by Mike Attisano. Mike interviewed me about my experiences in Las Vegas, whether or not it’s a good idea to rent a car, how a baby changes the vacation, and several other topics.

 

Mike’s a Vegas expert and the first guy I go to anytime I’m headed out to the City of Sin. Mike helped me find Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Dam as great places to visit while visiting Vegas. He also talked me into getting a car in Vegas while I was there.

 

Make sure you buy his book – tell him John sent you for a free luggage tag when you purchase a Kindle copy of his best-selling guide: Simplifying Las Vegas (A Travel Guide for Everyone).
