There have been many GTA wannabes. The Getaway, LA/NY Stories, Driv3r, Saints Row etc. All have failed to rival and outdo GTA. This is Vegas would have to offer tons more if it plans to go up against the likes of GTA4. DLC for one thing. GTA4 already has that with The Lost and Damned. It isn't simply a array of new weapons and missions, it's a massive chunk of stuff. New weapons, vehicles, radio station ad, new music, new everything. Hours of extra stuff!
If TIV wants to take GTA4's crown, then it has to have a titanic load to offer with the original game and the DLC.

Even though GTA 4 and San Andreas out did it, GTA3 is still my fav of that series.

Nope, I don't think it was ever supposed to rival them, maybe be on par with games like Saints Row or possibly so good and different that it would become the third pillar (GTA, Saints Row, This is Vegas)

I love how instantly any open world game is a 'GTA Ripoff' by most gamers. It's pathetic really as most of them probably never EVER played the original GTAs on the playstation one long before they were 3D.

I suppose you could say MK is a rip off of Street Fighter or any other original fighter game technically. I mean it's just absurd really. I suppose any game that involves trees or humans is just a rip off of Mario, right?

That said I look forward to this game as it offers elements and ideas that the open world game genre seems to have not touched or gone towards.

Or you could say that LittleBigPlanet is a rip-off of Mario. No it's not.
