This package, part of the excellent US Cities X selection, ensures that you will have no problem whatsoever in creating an easy and effective route to enjoying this city more and more in the long-term. It’s one of the strangest cities around in terms of layout and design, not to mention its location, but this package does everything it can to sell the wonderful story of Las Vegas in the best way that it can.
The city itself is one of the most peculiar due to the fact that it’s more or less located in the middle of a desert! The range of small houses with high rise buildings thrown in between looks mental and uncluttered from above, but this is exactly what Vegas is; it’s crazy, it’s manic and it’s almost certainly a city that you need to visit. With this package, now you can have no problem in coming here and getting to enjoy yourself as much as you can with stunning new features being included throughout.
Obviously, this package includes the amazing Vegas Strip which is so incredibly important and popular to the city; it’s where all the cash comes in from, and it’s where the “fun” is stored – the hotels, casinos and entertainment venues are all here for you to specifically enjoy.
This makes the city of Las Vegas come to life, with the really unique nature of the location fully caught and included in here. It make use of the scenery quality that you would expect, but also does a wonderful job of capturing the little parts of Vegas many might not consider to be so important.

This ambient noise is more than just a cosmetic – it actually helps to accurately portray this city and the incredible noise that it can generate when you are here.
-
These new sounds are matched by the effects that are carried out across the board. Sound effects work perfectly in tandem with the traffic which now inhabits the vast majority of the roads within the city. This traffic on most major roads looks excellent, and does a great job of helping you propel yourself forward to truly enjoy the scenery. The addition of these nice little extras does a great part of the whole selling aspect of the city itself, bringing it all together perfectly.

Easy straightforward installation. Great scenery of downtown Las Vegas but curious about the vertical shaft of white light emanating from the Luxor hotel pyramid.
