It is named after the city of Las Vegas in Nevada, United States and has a gambling theme.

It consists of six small boards representing different casinos (originally depicting real Vegas casinos; later the same casinos with faux renamings; in the US release, simply numbered boards with similar decorative backgrounds), a deck of 54 "bills" (cards) in various denominations of the United States dollar (from $10,000 to $90,000 in $10,000 increments), an additional "First Player" card (denoting who starts each round of play) and five sets of eight dice, each set colored differently (orange, green, blue, black and white).

[2] An expansion set, titled Las Vegas Boulevard, was released in 2014.

The expansion (which went under the pre-release titles of Las Vegas Lights and Las Vegas Plus) included additional dice in yellow, grey and purple (allowing for up to 8 players in regular play) plus additional white dice for expanded play, "large" over-sized dice that count as 2 dice, a seventh "slot machine" casino board, additional $100,000 "bills", and various other cards to be used for variant play included with the expanded rules (such as "rainbow" cards, action cards, bonus cards, etc.).

Reviewing for Lautapeliopas, Mikko Saari complimented its accessibility, combination of luck and strategy, and the engagement.

The jury praised the game, stating that "[with] each roll of the dice, the players oscillate between winning the main prize and failing - that's captivating!
