This Is Vegas Casino Review

What About the Games?

Good question, after all you’re not really here to make judgements about the born on date of the website itself, but rather the born on date, and playability, of the games on offer. Well, it’s certainly a mixed bag when it comes to this ‘Vegas-style’ online casino experience. So let’s look at each one separately.

If you scroll down the homepage you will eventually get to a small menu that allows you to click and organize the games into type. The first is simply to view what’s ‘Hot’, the second is what’s ‘New’, but beyond this it starts to get a little more informative. First of all are the slots, which are perennial favorites of everyone in this office.

Slots are always great fun, offering up instant gratification and (ideally) fast money for those who want to get involved. They don’t require much of you- just a quick ‘insert coin’ and then ‘spin’, and you’re away. Probably the most accessible of all the types of online casino game, they really are great fun and highly addictive.

If you click through onto ‘All Games’ then things get more interesting still, confirming that there are actually loads of different types of games available to play. Slot-wise, you have Progressives, 3 Reels, 5 Reels, and I-slots, which is basically short hand for ‘all the latest and greatest versions of online slot machines’.

Not Bad at All, Then…

Of course there’s a lot more to Las Vegas than slot machines, and whilst This Is Vegas can’t compete in terms of entertainment- there’s no MGM Grand style stage show or roller coasters running through hotel grounds- it does its best to try and compete in its own way. Well, OK, by that we really mean there are a host of Video Poker and Table Games up for the playing, which may not be that outstanding in comparison with other online casinos, in fact this is pretty par for the course, but the fundamental point is you have plenty more to go at here- Baccarat, Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker. Put simply, then, you won’t be bored.

What About the Specialty Section?

Another good question. Skipping back to the homepage itself, the initial games menu has a section called ‘Specialty’, and this is where This Is Vegas starts to differentiate itself from the others out there on the market.

Here you’ll find everyone’s favorite brain teaser (or at least favorite brain teaser if you enjoy numbers), Sudoku, alongside Bingo of different varieties, and a couple of types of Keno. We’ve seen this lot before elsewhere, Sudoku being the least common for online casinos, but these are far from completely standardized by any stretch of the imagination, and for this you simply must applaud This Is Vegas for its decision to go against the bog standard grain.

Promotions and VIP

As with many casinos, there’s a range of promotions on offer and a dedicated VIP area to find yourself in. Let’s look at each in turn. Promotions wise, you’ll ‘never be without a promotion’ isn’t the worst thing we’ve ever heard, and this is proven with daily cashback bonuses This is Vegas has on an ongoing basis.

In addition to this, there is a VIP club with tons of perks. You can earn what are known as ‘Comp Points’ for every $1 you bet. Accumulate these and eventually you’ll have enough to transfer into cold hard cash, which could be a lot worse.

This is less VIP than you may fear, and more ‘everyone welcome’. The more you play the more ‘Prestige’ you earn, which basically means moving up through a series of ranks and claiming more benefits from the casino. 

This Is Vegas Conclusion

Overall This Is Vegas is definitely a well put together online casino website. It doesn’t suffer from huge oversights, omissions of information or general bad mistakes that could have been avoided in terms of layout, text accuracy or image problems. That alone is definitely better than the vast majority of online casinos we have come across, but is it enough to make it win up against the best of the rest available on the market?

Clearly the two biggest selling points are usually how good the games themselves are, and how many there are. In both instances This Is Vegas comes out as a winner, with over 300 casino games on offer. We also quite like the casino bonuses on offer, and the regular promotions up for grabs. Our verdict? We would have liked a bigger table games section but if you're looking for a Vegas-style casino that has a bit of everything, then you might want to check out This is Vegas.
