Guiding a team of specialists through famous Las Vegas locations including Fremont Street, and the Strip, players must save Sin City in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Logan Keller is the team leader and recon expert that knows every nook and cranny of Vegas. Michael Walter is a heavy weapons and demolition expert who can offer advice on how to make it past large obstacles that, at first glance, may seem impassable. Jung Park is a long range and electronics expert who can hack into computers, or use a "snake cam" to locate enemies before entering a room.

Enemies in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas are designed to grow smarter and work together as the game progresses to challenge players thinking and planning skills. Internet play offers a variety of action including cooperative and competitive missions for a maximum of 16 players, and two split-screen players can enter online games together.
