Lords of Vegas: UP!

Lords of Vegas: UP! arrives as the first expansion that truly lifts your casino empire – literally. Now, besides spreading hotels across the Strip, you can stack floors, creating skyscrapers that shine brighter than any neon sign. Each extra level adds prestige and, of course, more victory points, so anyone aiming to dominate the city must think about "going up" as much as "spreading out". The core of the game remains the area‑control contest: whoever holds the majority of spaces in a district earns bonuses, mixed with dice rolls that determine how many building tiles or cash you receive each round. Pieces are placed in layers, allowing one hotel to sit atop another, blocking rivals or creating scoring combos. The trading market also gains weight – you can swap resources with opponents to complete projects or stop someone from reaching the required height for the big prize. Tile placement keeps the board dynamic, as every new construction reshapes influence zones. With a playtime of 60‑90 minutes and a light weight (2.25/5), the expansion fits 2‑6 players, perfect for fans of the base game who want more depth without excessive complexity. In short, UP! adds vertical strategy, tighter space competition, and richer negotiation opportunities, all while preserving the chaotic, fun vibe of a Las Vegas casino.
