Las Vegas (/lɒsˈveɪɡəs/; Spanish for "The Meadows"), often known simply as Vegas, is the 26th-most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert.[7] Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada. The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world.[8][9][10] Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations.[11][12] The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of "Sin City",[13] and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, and music videos. Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated North American city founded within that century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. Rapid growth has continued into the 21st century, and according to the United States Census Bureau, the city had 641,903 residents in 2020,[5] with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053.[14] As with most major metropolitan areas, the name of the primary city ("Las Vegas" in this case) is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits. In the case of Las Vegas, this especially applies to the areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip, which are actually located within the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester.[15][16]

Ubisoft has confirmed they intend to expand on the modern-day storyline and the global conflict between the Assassin and Templar Orders in future installments. The idea of borrowing gameplay mechanics from Grand Theft Auto, such as a free-roam criminal underworld, has been mentioned as a potential inspiration for how to translate the modern-day conflict into a more dynamic, city-based experience. The modern era involves the conflicts occurred through organizations like Abstergo to balance the historical and modern-day stories more effectively, which could lead to a more developing experience in the future. The request describes a game concept where the modern-day storyline becomes the primary gameplay, expanding on stealth and free-roam action. The user explicitly mentions Grand Theft Auto, implying a gameplay style that involves open-world city environments, driving, and conflict with law enforcement and gangs, in addition to Abstergo's private forces. With Ubisoft in talks in request specifically asks for this to be set in the 20th and 21st centuries, referencing periods like World War II, the Cold War, and modern warfare, which would be a significant departure from the series' usual historical settings. The new game concept could be explored through the Assassin's Creed franchise or spin-off prequels, allowing for a narrative that bridges past and present conflict across different eras and global locations.
