Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a major city on the west coast of the United States of America, and home of PRT Department 29.

Description
Vegas is one of the worst cities, in terms of the sheer number of villains. The city itself employs unsponsored tinkers and thinkers to monitor the various venues, ensuring that everything is above board.

Because of this, Las Vegas has a different cape dynamic to cities like New York or Los Angeles. Instead of physically powerful 'heavy hitters' being at the top of the food chain, it is the thinkers, tinkers, and strangers who rule the Las Vegas underworld.

The Protectorate
The Las Vegas Protectorate heroes are described as flamboyant and attention-grabbing, in contrast to the general discreetness of the villains. The Vegas team is mostly made up of 'strategists, charlatans, and borderline scoundrels', as they are more likely to think in the same manner as the villains they are trying to foil.

Villains
As previously stated Vegas Villains are low key compared to those found in other cities.

Points of Interest
Technically all the casinos are on unincorporated territory; this way they don't have to pay taxes to the city of Las Vegas.

Background
The city has fallen into a vicious cycle exists where a team of villains will pull a successful job, cause catastrophic damage, and see venues shut down. This encourages more villains to appear and do the same. Because of this, the strip is slowly dying.

Post-Echidna
After Cauldron was revealed to the world, Pretender killed a government thinker in order to either cover his tracks, or as a favour to Cauldron. This got him arrested.

The rest of the Vegas Protectorate went rogue in an attempt to free him.

Despite this, they still took part in the battle of New Delhi.

Gold Morning
The remaining members of the team infiltrated the Cauldron Compound, in order to find out what happened to Doormaker.

It is unknown how the city of Las Vegas fared though the West coast had been hit.
