The new title’s theme plays on the concept of letting players loose on the proverbial Sin City, where they can fight, gamble, drive and party their way through the fast-paced lifestyle within the wild city of Las Vegas.

You basically play the role of a businessman as you set up your own decadent empire in the heart of Las Vegas. How you want to set up your VIP connections is up to you. You can play the tables in a game of high stakes gambling or you can race cars in an underground circuit. Either way, it’s your mission to put the sin back in Sin City.

Alan Patmore, studio head of the game’s developer Surreal, had this to say regarding the game:

We are thrilled to be unveiling the first-ever videogame experience which allows players to live out their wildest Vegas fantasies. Whether it’s partying in the hottest night clubs, racing in underground circuits, testing your luck at the tables or getting into a barroom brawl, This is Vegas has it all.
