Mafia Wars Vegas VIP access: Casino chip racks + lots of luck = early access
Mafia Wars is turning on the promotion for the upcoming Las Vegas expansion, with a special Vegas event, called Whack the Rat Jimmy Vegas, this weekend, plus offering a lucky few VIP access to Sin City once the beta launches.
mafia wars las vegas VIP access
It'll take a little luck and a lot of Casino poker racks (available as a free gift sent from fellow mafiosos) to gain access to Mafia Wars Vegas early. To see if Lady Luck is on your side, you'll need to collect 50+ racks to get a 20% chance of winning early access and then visit the Las Vegas High Roller Access page (via the drop down Travel menu at the top of the page).
If you don't win, you'll get a popup that says 'Bad Luck' and have to wait 22 hours to try again. Ouch.

If you win aceess, you'll receive a notification that says "You're In," but won't be able to get into Mafia Wars Vegas right away. This just guarantees you'll be one of the first people to check it out once the beta actually launches, which doesn't have an exact release date, though I suspect it will be soon with all of this build-up.

So, this is all sort of a tease, but if you're dying to be one of the first to get their hands on Mafia Wars Las Vegas, start sending lots of Chip Racks to friends and encourage them to send them back.
Did you get early access to Mafia Wars Vegas? Were you PO'd that you can't actually access the game yet?

Mafia Wars: Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8 are open for business!
Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8, Area 51 and the Hoover Dam respectively, are finally open in Mafia Wars. Both districts contain several jobs with multiple path options and impressive mastery items: the Experimental Exoskeleton from Area 51 and Hallorans Helicopter from Hoover Dam. Did we mention this update includes brand new achievements too? Everyone needs their cheevos!
Both districts, like all of Las Vegas, offer three different paths for progression: Energy, Stamina or Social (slightly more limited). You'll have to follow at least one path and master each job completely to access the district's boss. Also, there are a lot of itme locks on the later jobs, so we recommend you master one job before going to the next to make sure you get enough of the items. So, get cracking if you want to get your hands on these new mastery items and achievements now.

Mafia Wars Las Vegas Districts 7 and 8 Achievements: Everything you need to know
Mafia Wars Las Vegas
With the new Las Vegas Districts released in Mafia Wars came a slew of new jobs, items and mastery items. But most importantly for some are the new achievements. I mean, what stands as a better testament to your skill than an achievement for doing something 500 times?
Continue reading for a list of the brand new achievements and how you can accomplish them one by one.
Mafia Wars Las Vegas Achievements 1
While the new release notes from Zynga claim that there are 10 new achievements, we can only seem to find eight for the moment. For now, here's a list of the new achievements currently in-game:
Shake Em Down: Earn 1,000 Victory Coins
Holes in the Desert: Ice 5 players in Las Vegas
Arachnophobia: Own 50 Desert Spiders
Long Arm of the LAW: Own 100 LAW Weapons
In It to Win It: Win 10 tournament fighting World Championship Bouts
Long Odds: Win a tournament fight bet of at least $1,000 with odds 10:1 or greater
Gambling Man: Win a $100,000 tournament fighting bet
Trouble Maker: Complete 500 Fight jobs
Mafia Wars Las Vegas Achievements 2
Some of these achievements seem a bit too easy like "Hole in the Desert," but I can see people losing a ton of money trying to complete "Gambling Man." Come to think of it, if you're feeling really adventurous, you could complete both "Gambling Man" and "Long Odds" in one shot. But again, but you'd have to be pretty brave to put that much cash on the line (or have deep pockets).

Mafia Wars' War Wagon: Buy one and help Huntington's Disease patients
Starting this Friday at midnight through Oct. 21, for every War Wagon bought in the Mafia Wars Marketplace for 35 Reward Points, or around $8, Zynga will donate 100 percent of the proceeds (no frontsies-backsies this time) to the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). The War Wagon, which boasts 77 Attack and 33 Defense, will only be around for this event, so consider it a collector's item with a purpose. I guess you don't see many of those these days, huh?
More specifically, the proceeds will go to HDSA's Coalition for a Cure, a global collective of scientists working on breakthroughs and advanced treatment for this currently incurable neurological disorder. Huntingdon's Disease affects one in every 10,000 with loss of muscle coordination and dementia. Six months ago, Zynga collaborated with the HDSA on a similar project, raising over $100,000 for the program through 50 percent of proceeds from the Exploding Teddy Bear.
Now that Zynga will be providing 100 percent of the proceeds, the HDSA should at the very least get $200,000 for their extremely important research, but it doesn't have to stop there. Get ready to go to war yet again, but this time with feeling.
