You want to own Vegas, baby? Maybe do a little old school action with fists and blood? Video game developer Midway Games bets you want to, having just announced “This is Vegas” for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC later this year.

What’s really cool is that Midway describes this title as “open world,” meaning you should be able to wander the Strip at your leisure to gamble and party till dawn. There is of course a storyline here for this title, developed by an internal Midway studio:

“When a powerful businessman begins turning Vegas into a family-friendly tourist trap, you must start your own powerful empire and resurrect the famous adult playground. Party hard at the hottest clubs to make VIP connections. Grow your bankroll by hitting high stakes tables. Race the fastest cars on the underground circuit to raise your reputation. Fight off enemies with fists and firearms to prove your strength. Where you go and what you do is your call whether counting cards, seducing dangerous women, cruising the strip or starting bar brawls, you must put the sin back in sin city.”
