Vegas Strip is a board game released in 2025 for 2–6 players, 40 minutes per game, and ages 11 and up. It was designed by Peter C. Hayward and its main mechanics are Deduction, Team-Based Game, and Auction: Multiple Lot.
In this bluffing game, players have hidden information about which casinos are corrupt. Take turns playing money tiles (two 2’s, two 4’s, one 5, one six, one seven) into the different casinos. When scoring a corrupt casino, the highest bidder wins the jackpot (and everyone else gets nothing). In a non-corrupt casino, whoever has the most points there LOSES, and everyone else gets points equal to their bid. Players can’t place more than two tokens at a casino, and can’t place their highest token at the casino they know is corrupt. 20 unique casino power cards change up the formula every game. Take a gamble to win big! —description from the publisher
Vegas Strip supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Vegas Strip is 40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Vegas Strip for ages 11 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Vegas Strip has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
