Are they also releasing "This is McDonalds" where you get to live out your dream fantasy of flipping burgers and obtaining vast amounts of acne while waiting on rude customers?

Hmm...I don't think, even in Vegas, you can just rent naughty hooters. I'm pretty sure you have to rent the whole hooker

i wonder if they are getting rights to all the hotels on the strip or even lasvegas blvd...if everything is fake names and likeness's then it will be pointless and just like GTA as said above

ahaha, i was just about to type something like that. But seriously is this type of game really needed.....

If you want to gamble and your 21 or older just go to Vegas or Atlantic City, you don't need this garbage.

I see no reason for me to buy this game lol. If I wanted to go to the strip I would just drive there in 20 min (I live in Vegas btw).
