Swim-up bars? Neon signs? Women that might be are probably men? Whatever it is a person's interested in, Vegas can provide it. But you? You made the trip out here for one reason: Poker. So come on inside and let's get started.
As you make your way towards the front door, a strange man dressed like a Hostess Twinkie beckons you over... "You're going in there? Watch yourself, the Staff (Mafia) is ruthless. The head honcho is also the Head of Security (Mafia Investigator), so don't think you stand a chance of hiding anything from him. He hired on his lazy son to be his Right-Hand Man; as long as the whole staff is around to give him direction, this kid's gonna be on you like nobody's business. But if you can take out some of the other staff, he'll become way unpredictable.
"It's not all in the family, however. They've also hired on an old army ranger to keep an eye on particuarly troublesome guests... this Guy Proficient in Shadowing (GPS) is a pro at Tracking; he's good at sneaking around and seeing where someone goes when they think nobody's watching. And that's not all, either. There's also a Hooker that the staff here reached some sort of "agreement" with, and two Security Officers (Mafiosos). You didn't hear this from me, but there's also an Outsider who's sick of all these tourists coming in and trashing the town."
You're not sure that this guy's all there, but who are you to argue with a man dressed as a snack cake? You're a tourist, that's who! "Okay, mister creamy-on-the-inside, so the staff here hates us all. So what? I can tell just by looking that the rest of the players heading inside right now aren't just gonna sit around and let themselves be taken advantage of for more than 1 Day. That guy with the turban? He's obviously some sort of psychic, able to use his extraSensory perception to 'see' how our voting went down. That guy he's talking to, with hair like Carrot Top and a giant trunk to match? He's clearly a Master of Disguises, who can make people look differently for a full 24 hours without them being any the wiser.
"I know that's a Public Investigator dropping his Bentley off at the valet, I've seen him on the news. Word has it he's so good he doesn't even care if everybody knows what he finds out. Problem is, only he knows who he's finding out about. I don't get how that happens, but maybe he can fill us in... Oh, now it makes sense; see that other guy getting out of the car? That's the PI's Backer, keeping him loaded with dough and out of trouble. See? I know what I'm doing. Now let me go inside, will ya?"
Stepping inside the casino, you see a crowd of 22 people around one of the poker tables. Some are the people you saw outside, some are new to you. Among them are a sleazeball who looks like he'd take any opportunity to double his influence (Double-Voter), 9 normal-looking people (Townie x9), and a nervous-looking Outsider not knowing what to do. You approach the table and play a few hands, but before you know it it's shutting down for a dealer change. The whole group decides to turn in for the night, anxious for the dawn of the next day...
