Vegas Showdown is a terrific multi-player game, but it doesn't work for two players. A two-player variant would allow this excellent game to be enjoyed when you can't get three players around the table, but such a variant isn't easy to construct.
In conceiving a two-player variant, an important goal is that each tile should retain its strengths and weaknesses as in the standard game with more players. This allows the two-player game strategies to remain similar to those used in the standard game, especially in the evaluation of tiles. If some tiles in the two-player game have distorted values, it would call for distorted strategies that are different from the standard game.
