Just incase Mario Party was not good enough for the family, or the family wants to get their kids hooked on gambling, buffets, and hookers early, a new party game for the Wii has been announced today. One that strikes home with me oh so well. Pun intended. Las Vegas Casino Party is that game.

From the description of the game, it sounds just like the above mentioned Mario Party titles. You get ten stereotypes of Las Vegas gamblers to move around a game board, for some reason, to move from casinos to casino playing the classic games of old Vegas. No, I'm not talking try to swim with cement shoes or beat the card counter. But classics like slot machines, video poker, craps, blackjack, roulette, etc. A total of fifteen different games for the family to enjoy.

It seems kind of funny to me that a game like this is marketing to good old family fun. Maybe it is my jaded and constant view of the Sin City casinos and how they operate, but it seems like the cigarette type of move to me. You know, package a vice with something that appeals to children to get them hooked young. This could also be me looking to deep into things as usual. Who knows? But it could have promise for another drinking/stripping game for us of age gamers and owners of the Wii. Something there just isn't enough of in my opinion.

Look for it on shelves in November.
