Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.

The Earth rotates in such a way that a distant object which is more or less "fixed" in space relative to the Earth will appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Therefore, if you're FACING west, the stars will all appear to be sinking slowly towards the horizon.
