Sky Vegas is one of the Sky betting family which also features Sky Bet, Sky Poker and Sky Bingo and given that fact you would expect big things from this particular gaming website.
The website immediately makes an impact with its striking red background against a white menu system which may be somewhat harsh for some people's tastes, however, it is undeniably grabbing.
Unlike some other casino websites Sky Vegas has a lot 'going on'. The large banner of featured games across the front of the home page displays their latest selection and informs you of the newest sign-up and loyalty offers available.
When combined with two or three large animated adverts, you begin to not know exactly where to rest your eyes as so many aspects of the page seem to be vying for your immediate and undivided attention.
Sky Vegas carries the usual array of casino games from live Baccarat, Roulette and Blackjack to the varying video pokers and flash-based pub games.
One minor niggle is the navigation system which features tabs that once expanded cannot be collapsed and although not a major qualm, it is something that could be easily remedied and that would enrich the users experience.
One area in which Sky Vegas stands out from other casino websites is in its Penny Arcade and High Stakes Lounge.
This distinction lets the user know exactly what they are in for when the enter the two rooms, with the Penny Arcade being low stakes and having a more novel and jovial feel to it, featuring games such as 'Cops and Robbers' and 'Funky Munky Scratchcard'.
While the High Stakes Lounge aims for an air of cool with access to pristine looking blue gaming tables and the omission of the more childish feeling games of the Penny Arcade.
Another aspect of Sky Vegas that I was particularly taken with is the addition of a no nonsense promotions section.
Unlike other gaming websites that can leave you with a feeling that the casino is trying to bamboozle you, Sky Vegas lays out exactly what the promotions for that particular month are and those that are ongoing.
Speaking of promotions, they are among some of the most inviting available among the various casino websites with an offer of up to £150 free play after signing up.
All in all, Sky Vegas is one of the better online gaming experiences and although the website still feels like it needs a little smoothing around the edges, the variety of games and enticing promotional offers are more than ample to make you want to give it a chance.
