Lords of Vegas™: Americana is Lone Shark Games’ brand-new mega-expansion to Lords of Vegas. Four of America’s gambling capitals come to life in this giant expansion, which requires the Lords of Vegas Base Set to play. Players will depart the garish confines of Sin City for the concrete playground of Atlantic City, the rollicking riverboats of New Orleans, the mountain paradise of Reno, and the blasted tumbleweeds of Tombstone. Set out on a cross-country expedition to become the lords of Americana.

• one (1) double-sided Atlantic City/New Orleans board 44x11"

• 5 wooden Atlantic City Ferris wheels
