Reading Room
Started by an Iowa Writers’ Workshop graduate, Vegas’ best independent bookshop is placed conveniently on the Strip. Bookworms will be hypnotized by the selection of local-interest titles, from hot-off-the-press regional guidebooks and maps to contemporary nonfiction, historical essays, pulp biographies and photographic essays. Thoughtfully chosen art and design titles are displayed in glass-fronted cases at the back. Author readings and book signings take place regularly.

Bauman Rare Books
Hidden inside the Palazzo, enter a bibliophile’s paradise, where rare and first editions of the Wizard of Oz and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood stand on giant-sized shelves. Lavishly illustrated antiquarian titles lie under glass display cases. Staff may raise their eyebrows at casual browsers, who may not touch the tomes.

Assouline
High-concept, design-savvy art, architecture, photography and fashion books abound, many published in exquisitely illustrated editions. Beautifully preserved rare and vintage titles are specialties, including gambling and Las Vegas pop histories. Gift wrapping reflects the shop’s motto: books are works of art.
