Summary

Las Vegas is the Nevada resort city that has become the team’s recurring rest-and-relaxation destination, featuring in both Session 03 and Session 05. Beyond the glamour of the Strip, the surrounding desert hides a growing Terran Insectoid infestation centered on the Nevada Desert (Hole Site) some 80 miles to the northwest.

Description

A sprawling city in the Nevada desert, defined by the neon-lit casino corridor of the Strip and an endless arid expanse beyond the city limits. It offers the full range of civilian entertainment — casinos, luxury hotels, fine dining, and themed attractions — making it a natural decompression point between operations. The contrast between the city’s excess and the lethal insectoid threat festering in the nearby desert has come to define the team’s experience here.

Security & Access

Open civilian city accessible by air through Las Vegas Airport or by road. No special clearance required for the city proper; the desert hole site to the northwest is under restricted access.
