'''Las Venturas''', [[ | '''Las Venturas''', [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] is the third and final fictional city the player meets in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. It is based on [[:wp:Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas, Nevada]], and like its real-life counterpart, Las Venturas is a gambling city located in a desert region, with casinos such as [[The Camel's Toe]] and [[Caligula's Palace]]. Everything that can be bought in Las Venturas, however the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] service, is 20% more expensive than in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] or [[San Fierro]]. Las Venturas translates to 'The Fortunes' or 'The Adventures', whilst Las Vegas translates to "The Meadows" or "The Grasslands". | ||
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]]. | Las Venturas is home to the famous baseball team, the [[Las Venturas Bandits]], and [[Greenglass College]].

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 | Las Venturas has a large freeway system circling and splitting the city into two.
