I know none of this really matters, but I just spent like 2 hours looking this all up and just wanted to share this weird little finding. But I looked at the pdf of the Sonic Jam guide and did a simple translation of Las Vegas and sure enough, the japanese characters for 'Las Vegas' were written there. Part of me wondered if it was a translation issue. Then his time of 4 hours would make sense. Although, it's hard to mix up Las Vegas and Reno though since one is world famous and the other is Reno.Īnother thought is that maybe the development team visited Las Vegas but left from Los Angeles or something.

It does take only 4 hours to get to Reno though. Except that's totally wrong! From San Francisco it would take about 8 hours by car. Sonic 2 was developed in San Francisco so that would mean Las Vegas is four from San Francisco. He also stated it only four hours by car to get to Las Vegas. I looked on sonicretro to find out more info and apparently in a japanese Sonic Jam guide Yuji Naka stated that the zone was based off of Las Vegas. So I decided to do some research into what exactly inspired Casino Night zone. Casino Night is my favorite zone, some of my best memories of my childhood were going to Las Vegas and Laughlin as a child so the aesthetic of the zone always very special to me.
