Game
Vegas Dream is one of the better casino games released for the NES. It features four casino staples: blackjack, roulette, keno, and a slot machine along with plenty more unusual forms of gambling. Occasionally you’ll be challenged by a high roller, there are also a couple minor scenes that happen every now and then where you can try you luck. Sometimes people ask to be lent money, sometimes you can buy stocks, sometimes you go to shows, etc. You can even get married in the game, though it's irrelevant to your success. Oddly enough, the Japanese version of the game (called Viva! Las Vegas) is completely in English.
Like most gambling games, the objective is to get a ton of money. A password system allows you to save your progress and keep your winnings until the next time you play. The slot machine appears to yield and overall positive gain over time, so it’s possible just to play it forever and beat the game. However, its tiny maximum bet of $300 makes it unfeasible. The other games don’t have a maximum bet, so you can make a killing on a single round.
Music
The music is upbeat and up-tempo which keeps the game feeling light and fun. The tunes begin to drag on you after a couple hours of play, so thankfully, each game and section of the casino has its own unique anthem.
Ripping
Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
