Wallpaper guide: The "Las Vegas Wallpaper City Guide" (Phaidon Press, $8.95) is slim and stylish enough to consult on the run while concealing the fact that you are just an out-of-it out-of-towner. The guide opens with a fold-out shot of the Strip and a photo gallery of Vegas landmarks, followed by a tour of top hotels, a 24-hour itinerary (breakfast at Wynn Buffet, gawking at Graceland Wedding Chapel, slots at Bellagio, drinks at Onda and burlesque at Forty Deuce), a sampler of top restaurants and nightclubs, a survey of over-the-top architecture, stylish shops and whistle-stops. Lots of photos, 100-page, blow-by-blow evocation of what's hippest in Sin City. The back cover folds out into a city map, with few of the lumpish listings that weigh down most guidebooks. www.phaidon.com.
