Welcome to New Las Vegas

New Las Vegas keeps the flip-and-write core I love from Welcome To…, then dials complexity up with shows, golf courses, limos, hotels, and timing bonuses. I enjoy the sandboxy puzzle: your city blossoms if you plan routes and scoring synergies early. The push-pull between quick points and engine positioning is real, and the production is clean once you learn the iconography. That said, it’s a much crunchier teach than the original, and first games can feel like drinking from a firehose. Analysis paralysis is a risk at higher counts, and a misread icon can tank a plan. Solo is satisfying and helps internalize scoring lines. With a group that likes spatial puzzles and doesn’t mind a heavier flip-and-write, it shines; if your table wants breezy, this can feel fussy. I recommend player aids and gentle pacing on the first go.

✓ Pros

  • Deep, combo-rich puzzle
  • Good solo learning mode
  • Clean production once learned

✗ Cons

  • Heavier teach/icons
  • Prone to AP at groups
  • Early misplays punish
