Viva! Las Vegas is this weird little NES casino sim that somehow made it out of Japan. You get blackjack, poker, slots—basically a pixelated Vegas strip crammed into a cartridge. The graphics are super basic (we're talking early NES here), but there's something oddly charming about watching your tiny dude lose all his fake money at digital roulette.

First time I booted it up, I went straight for poker and immediately got destroyed by the AI. Turns out the blackjack tables are way more forgiving if you're just messing around. The slot machines make this ridiculous *clunk* noise when you pull the lever that never gets old. It's definitely more of a novelty than a serious gambling sim, but hey—no real money lost when you bust.

Honestly half the fun is seeing how 80s Nintendo interpreted casino culture through that family-friendly filter.
