''Las Vegas is an ostensibly real [[human]] city in [[Nevada]].''

==Fiction==
===Generation One===
====Dreamwave Comics Continuity====
''The [[Keepers Trilogy]] 
[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] staged a hostile takeover of Las Vegas, signing a lucrative (and exclusive) deal with media mogul [[Darren Norbert]] to commoditize worldwide interest in a city where humans live side-by-side with Transformers as the backdrop for the reality-television series [[Real Life—Transformers Style]].

Setting up court in the MGM Grand casino, Starscream initiated '''Project Renewal''', designed to turn Vegas into <strike>some sort of lurid sideshow paradise</strike> '''''more''' of a lurid sideshow paradise'', where the slots pay out more money than they take in (paid for by outside investors,) adventure is in the air, every man a winner, every cop a hero, and anyone can be a star.

He officially rechristened the city ''New Vegas'', though the locals privately refer to it as ''Dirty Vegas'', while loving every minute of it.

Starscream's reign came to an end when the all-powerful [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] returned with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Though he resisted Megatron's attempts to re-take the Decepticon forces (appointing [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] his second in command after [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] left) he was less successful at resisting the Keepers.

''New Vegas's'' era came to an end when the joint Autobot/Decepticon invasion to unseat Starscream reduced much of the casino district to smoking rubble, and the [[President of the United States]] attempted to nuke the city. {{storylink|Keepers Trilogy|Keepers Trilogy}}

''The engine of commerce that drove New Vegas was publicly said to be its high-profile media coverage, but the real incentive for outside investors was the Decepticon technology Starscream was offering. Long after New Vegas had fallen, it [[Two for the Price of One|lingered]].''

=====Locations=====
* ''Palms Grayson Hotel'' - Fictional hotel where the Decepticon sympathizer [[Buckingham]] laid a trap for LVPD officer [[Ryan O'Brien]].
* ''MGM Grand'' - Casino Starscream used for his base of operations.
* ''Mirage'' - Casino where one of the patrons was goaded into going on a rampage for the cameras.

===Unicron Trilogy===
====Panini Armada comic====
In 1957 while excavating to construct a new casino, construction crews unearthed a fragment of the [[Mini-Con]] ship [[Exodus]] containing the [[Land Military Mini-Con Team]]. It was transferred to [[Area 54]] under care of the [[Extra-Terrestrial Response Division|E.R.T.D.]].

===Movie continuity===
====Transformers: The Junior Novel====
The final battle takes place in Las Vegas, instead of [[Mission City]] like it does in [[Transformers (2007)|the film]], since that was where it took place in early script drafts it was based on. [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/180451-welcome-mr-roberto-orci-you-may-ask-him-questions-220.html#post3395250] For information about the battle, see the [[Mission City]] article.

====Revenge Of The Fallen film====

[[Leo Spitz]] confusingly assumed that they had arrived in the Vegas desert after [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] teleported him, [[Sam Witwicky|three]] [[Mikaela Banes|other]] [[Agent Simmons|Humans]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|three]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Auto]][[Mudflap (ROTF)|bots]] and one [[Wheelie (ROTF)|tiny, foul-mouthed, recently defected Decepticon]] there via [[space bridge]]. As it turns out, he was wrong and they were actually in [[Egypt]].

====Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics====

Las Vegas was the location of [[Seeker (ROTF)|an old car with Cybertronian innards and "ancient knowledge"]]. [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] arrived to carve those innards out, and ended up in battle with a [[NEST]] strike team. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

====Trivia ====

An early draft of "Transformers 2", supposedly written by [[Ehren Kruger]] (Which could have granted him a consultor job at the actual movie), had it's final battle happening in Las Vegas, where there would be a three-way battle between the Autobots and the army, Megatron's Decepticons and Starscream's Decepticons that'd completelly destroy the city. [[Michael Bay]] would be pround.
