Description
Rediscover the joy of Welcome To… with a new theme and new mechanisms in Welcome To New Las Vegas!
The game plays with a set of two different sheets — one dedicated to the map, the other used to keep track of the score and objectives — where you have to build and open casinos in the streets, hotels in avenues, create golf courses, give performances to the tourists, and move limousines for VIPs in order to build the greatest and most entertaining city and win the game!
Welcome To New Las Vegas keeps the same roll-and-write with dice-without-dice mechanism from Welcome to... Your Perfect Home: you flip cards from three piles to make three different sets with both a casino number and a corresponding action from which everyone chooses one. You use the number to fill in a casino on your street in numerical order. And everyone is racing to be the first to complete public goals. There's lots to do and many paths to becoming the best resort architect in Welcome To New Las Vegas!
Because of the communal actions, game play is simultaneous and thus supports large groups of players. With many varying strategies and completely randomized action sets, no two games will feel the same!

Thematic elements

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — the photographer is you have the three cards and they're numbers and then the other side there's actions so each string you'll pick a number and the corresponding action and do that yeah
- Resource Management — building cards that you have to decide whether or not you want to take out the construction so you can later build on it
- Roll and Write — the photographer is you have the three cards and they're numbers and then the other side there's actions so each string you'll pick a number and the corresponding action and do that yeah
- Set Collection — you get bonus points forever for incremental or consecutive evens or odds that you have in your lines so that's one way to score points yes there's one way that that's what stuck with me like beyond in the comparison to welcome to so if you played welcome to you can just put any you don't get points for the odds or the evens but here if you have like four or five odds in a row so like one three five seven nine or like even one three five seven eleven you know what they don't have a consecutive in that way um you get points for that
