Las Venturas is home to the famous baseball team, the [[Las Venturas Bandits]], and [[Greenglass College]]. The city is also home to Mafia families. Initially, there were three families: the [[Leone Family]], the [[Forelli Family]] and the [[Sindacco Family]].

==Storyline==

After completing dangerous missions in the deserts of San Andreas for [[Mike Toreno]] in exchange for his brother [[Sean Johnson|Sweet's]] freedom, [[Carl Johnson]] discovers that Toreno has vanished, not fulfilling his end of the bargain. However, after helping [[The Truth]] steal secret items from the government, Carl gets a phone call from the blind [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]] leader [[Wu Zi Mu]], whom Carl worked with in San Fierro. Wu Zi Mu has opened a casino called "[[The Four Dragons Casino]]" in Las Venturas, and he offers Carl part ownership in exchange for defending it, since Las Venturas is a Mafia-controlled town.

Three casinos, namely [[The Four Dragons Casino]], [[Caligula's Palace]], and [[Casino Floor]], can be entered by [[Carl Johnson]]. Inside you will find dealers and casino games along with many pedestrians. These pedestrians will be found ordering drinks, playing the table games (except Wheel of Fortune), standing in front of the slot machines, and making comments regarding the drinks they are ordering, about the table games they play, and about [[Carl Johnson]]'s appearance. Casinos along [[The Strip]] include (real-life counterparts in Las Vegas):

The casinos in the Old Venturas Strip district have no names, but are modeled after the largest casinos in downtown Las Vegas: Binion's Horseshoe, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, Fremont Hotel and Casino, and The Four Queens Hotel and Casino.

==Transport==

===Road===

Las Venturas has a large freeway system circling and splitting the city into two. The [[Julius Thruway]] is the freeway system circling the city, and is split into four parts; Julius Thruway North, Julius Thruway South, Julius Thruway East and Julius Thruway West. Julius Thruway North leads to an intersection, before splitting into many paths crossing the desert. Julius Thruway South continues to the west from the [[Blackfield Intersection]] to become a major highway in the south of [[Bone County]], continuing to the [[Garver Bridge]], and to [[Tierra Robada]] and the [[Gant Bridge]]. Thus Las Venturas has easy access to [[San Fierro]] and [[Los Santos]]. It services numerous areas in the city. The [[Harry Gold Parkway]] is another highway, splitting the whole city into a western half and an eastern half. It services mainly the [[Las Venturas Airport|airport]], some few casinos and the central areas. It also leads to a highway leading to the south, crossing [[The Mako Span]] to reach the [[Montgomery Intersection]] and becomes the major freeway through Downtown [[Los Santos]], and its most southern point is [[Los Santos International Airport]].

===Rail===

The [[Brown Streak Railroad]] services Las Venturas, with its two stations ([[Linden Station]] and [[Yellow Bell Station]]) being located in the northern and eastern part of the city. The [[Sobell Rail Yards]] are also in the east of the city, though it is not considered a stop for [[Brown Streak]] and [[Freight]] trains.
