Description
Las Vegas. The Strip.  To the untrained eye, it’s a sleepy desert
crossroads.  A wasteland of cheap hotels,
gas stations, and dust.  But to you, it
is Paradise.  Your brilliant plan?  You will construct a magnificent chain of
casinos and fill them with light. You will manufacture the ultimate dream of
easy money and impossible luxury.  You
will sell basically nothing.  You are not
alone in this plan.

Lords of Vegas creates the rich and risk taking environment of Las Vegas.  Players will have the opportunity to build
and control casinos along the famous Las Vegas Strip.  The luck of the draw will determine where a
player can start a casino.  Casinos can
be built, expanded, remodeled, and reorganized on a players’ turn.  Timing is critical.  Money and points are awarded at the start of
each players turn.  Money flows freely
for ownership of buildings lots and casinos.  
Points lonely go to the boss of the casinos.  The boss is determined by who has the highest
die located in the casino.  Clever
tactics using the remodel and reorganize actions can result in major
gains.  Good rolls of the dice will also
be helpful.

One of the most interesting parts of the game
lies on the scoring track.  Early in the
game scores can go up one point at a time. 
Later point increments must be gained 2 at a time, then 3 at a time, the
4, etc.  In order to advance along the
scoring track it is essential for players to be bosses in ever increasingly
larger casinos.  Plan carefully, time
your takeovers, roll the dice well and you too can become of the Lords
of Vegas
