Las Vegas (board game)

Board game

Las Vegas is a board game designed by Ruediger Dorn and published by the German company Ravensburger in 2012, with a United States release under the alternate title Vegas Dice Game following in 2017. It supports between two and five players and carries a gambling theme, named for the city of Las Vegas in Nevada. Players roll large numbers of colored dice and place them onto numbered casino locations on the board, competing to claim the largest share of money stacked at each casino once all dice for a round have been placed, with ties between players at the same casino cancelling each other's winnings there. The game was nominated for the Spiel des Jahres prize in 2012, reflecting its reception as an accessible, luck-driven family dice game built around simple set collection and majority control.
