85An impressive product that's only a patch or two away from true strategy game greatness.
-
There’s a lot to like here: a wide variety of buildings and themes to mess around with, casino design, landscaping, and just plain wandering around looking at the pretty lights.
-
83Not for those who crave instant gratification or casual gameplay; rather, it is geared towards those that can sit for hours and immerse themselves in the world of the game.
-
82More complicated than "SimCity" but loads more satisfying once you get the hang of it.
-
80The gameplay is fast and frantic as you dash between managing your casinos and outside complex, the graphics are excellent despite the fact that you may need to lower some settings for a smooth-running experience and the sound and music is perfectly suited.
-
All that is Vegas is capture to great effect. I can almost smell the 35-cent hot dogs.

Although the extremely steep learning curve and unforgiving penalty for any "ooop" moment make this an exercise in frustration from time to time, the sheer volume of things to do, the amazingly detailed construction aspect, and the solid economy base make this a really good bet for hard-core sime fans. [July 2004, p.66]

77Additional care might have been shown in the penalty for razing a structure or placement, but the awesome "sandbox mode" more than makes up for any grumbling you may have.
-
It has its own learning curve, no undo button and a buried interface, but the creative aspects and polish makes VT a recommended title for fans of Tycoon games.
-
75It has a lot of things going for it, including beautiful graphics, oodles of detail, and lots of depth. Sadly, it's a game that doesn't quite hit the million-dollar jackpot due to some cumbersome gameplay, an unusually and often frustratingly high level of difficulty, and interface issues.
-
The makers of the well-received "Monopoly Tycoon" have created an entertaining sim - Vegas Tycoon gets the look and feel of Sin City just right. [Apr 2004, p.92]
-
61More of an interior-design sim than the Vegas epic you're probably imagining. [Mar 2004, p.61]
-
Vega$ pushes the stagnant tycoon genre as far as it can go, and is currently the best looking management sim available. But how far can you flog a dead Elvis? [Dec 2003, p.103]
