It stretches to Fort Carson, being situated in close proximity to Lake Asher, the second largest lake in the state, behind Lake Methanol.

== History ==
=== 1992 ===
Before 1992, Salvatore Leone and the Sindacco Crime Family settled into the Las Venturas area, with them having a debate over who should own Caligula’s Casino. Around early 1992, Ken Rosenberg, a man from Vice City, Leonida, fresh out of rehab for cocaine addiction, was put forth as the neutral party to run the casino smoothly, with each side threatening to kill him and blame the other, with Ken having no choice as his old partner, Tommy Vercetti, cut off contact and ties with him, and presumably exiled him from Vice City for being a liability.
Wu Zi Mu, the leader of the San Fierro Triads, began a new business venture in a new casino known as the Four Dragons Casino on the Strip, which rivaled Caligula’s. Wu Zi then brought Carl Johnson, a gangster from Los Santos, San Andreas, into the casino game, and after he did some more work for him, they agreed to a deal where CJ could get a 33% stake in the casino. Around this time, CJ’s crew then began to plot a grand and elaborate heist on Caligula’s Palace and steal from the rival mob. CJ began to get friendly with two British band members ”Kent” Paul and Maccer, as well as Ken Rosenberg himself, with CJ realizing that they could be useful to him. Due to complications, due to CJ being ordered to scare one of the Sindacco’s, Johnny half to death and now being forced to come into contact with them, CJ ultimately resolved to wiping out the Sindacco’s of Venturas in one sitting, allowing the Leone’s to take over, but kept Rosenberg alive as well as the band members. CJ did more work for Don Salvatore Leone to earn his trust and ensured that Ken, Paul, and Maccer left Venturas alive after being hired for a hit on the St. Mark’s Bistro in Liberty and plotting a ploy where he would take the three of them with and deliver false news that they died. After preparations were finally in place, CJ and his crew robbed Caligula’s, earning the ire and feud of the Leone’s and a lot of cash in stolen funds.
Famous rapper Madd Dogg, who had lost everything at the time, nearly committed suicide by jumping off of a casino rooftop after losing his earnings gambling, but was saved thanks to the intervention of CJ, who ironically caused Madd Dogg’s fall, but not to his knowledge. After weeks of recovery, Madd Dogg returned and hired CJ as his manager, but they had to leave Venturas and returned to Los Santos to reclaim Madd Dogg’s mansion.
