I’ve never been to Las Vegas but I love it in concept because it sounds so made up. Imagine if you were reading a fantasy novel and they were like “smack in the middle of a deadly inhospitable desert there is a glittering city of indulgence and lawlessness and cheap sin that has specifically engineered itself to obfuscate your sense of time and keep you there as long as possible while they take all your valuables.” You’d be like yeah that’s some wizard shit.

If that was in a novel, you’d go “now the author is going a little heavy on the dystopian capitalism narrative, isn’t he? Who would do something so stupid and get away with it in real life?”
cheap sin
Funny, but nothing is cheap in Vegas. I’m surprised the sidewalks don’t charge for admission.
Relative to the price of eternal damnation, it’s not too bad.
Props for transcription.
I wouldn’t call it cheap sin, but yeah it’s a pretty accurate description.
You know just how far away from The Law that place was when the mob got its’ claws on it? That’s also the land where polygamy remained a standard practice until relatively recently.

Are you talking about Vegas specifically? Or is that just a reference to the idea that Utah is in that same general western-US desert area?
Same remoteness that drew so many peculiar types there, out of necessity to do the things that they wanted to do.
Check out the 1994 “The Stand” miniseries or read the book by Stephen King. It explores the idea of the main bad guys and their leader, who is essentially the devil, taking up residence in Las Vegas.
Already doing this! The Kingdom of Castravolva, run by the Rakshasa Castravolva! The only Rakshasa.
Got any fun fantasy themed casino games you can share?
Sadly no, I haven’t gotten that far yet. What I’ve got SO FAR is Castravolva is like the Rick from Rick and Morty, in the sense he is a genius, almost unstoppable asshole. As far as the actual city, I havn’treally touched it yet, I just have a basic concept of what it is. I WILL SAY however that it was inspired by my recent newly discovered love of Hockey and the knowledge that Las Vegas team is known as the GOLDEN KNIGHTS! (I may be incorrect on that, I am a mental case). Anyway, i havnt come up with any fantasy slot machines, but I am working up a tabletop ruleset for high fantasy hockey!
It truly is evocative of some weird fey trap that enchants its victims into reveling their own lives away.
Yes, it definitely is. Also in most dnd games, probably. Art imitating life.
