Will You Run the Lucky 38, partner?

So adventurer, you have mastered the Mojave.
You may have murdered a man with the tumor, and another who could not walk.
Blasted the machine that is so amiable, and battered the whipped of the west.
But can you handle this, running your own casino!
Will you prove successful and rise to rule the wastes,
Or will you tumble to darkness, penniless in it all?


Background
>=======<

This mod is the culmination of several hundred hours of work to bring you a truly enjoyable work of electronic entertainment, allowing you to build your own veritable Eden among the terror of the wastes
While others fight and die under a burning sun:
You will relax among all the amenities of a past world.
You will control every aspect of the Lucky 38 s operation, the quality of patrons you serve, and the services it provides.
You will extend your influence, eventually becoming the master of the Strip!
You will face the consequences of your actions, and learn that running a casino may be harder than it appears.

Description
>=======<

This is Version 2.0 of Run the Lucky 38, a mod brought to you by PaladinRider and Omega549

It will not require a quest, you will not be given it freely; no, you will have to pay for it, with the caps you have so greedily hoarded.

The bills add up fast, and the final tally may fall into the hundreds of thousands (or more). So you should begin soon, very soon. Run your casino poorly and you will become poor, run it wisely and find new functionality among the hidden secrets of the enigma that is the Lucky 38.


Details
>=======<

You will have full control of several aspects of the Casinos operation, including what games are offered, the quality of music, the availability of food, and the possibilities of entertainment.

Most levels offer the ability to be purchased and upgraded, some serve as the Buildings infrastructure, others cater to the whims of the patrons whom visit your casino.


Where will they go?
>=======<

Some patrons would like to stay at the casino; will you operate a hotel, complete with available suites, pool facilities, and a restaurant? You decide, both on the functions and the class of patrons that call your tower home.

1) If your stretched for funds, or enjoy the less than refutable vocations these individuals pursue, then by all means rent your suites to the lower classes of the Vegas Strip.

2)If instead you prefer to go the middle route, with patrons of modest quality and expectations, the the Middle Classes are for you, though be warned they are rather uninteresting people.

3) The upper class is just that, those select few whom will give your casino the air of refinement you so desperately seek.

Sacrifice Brings Success
>=======<

Remember, each upgrade you do will affect the return rate of the caps you make. That is, a larger more successful casino that attracts more customers will generate a larger profit.

Gamblers all across the Mojave will be enticed to spend their hard earned caps at your institution!

However, increasing the prestige of your casino requires that you to spend all those caps on new floors and features, don't fear though, it may cost a lot to open your own club, or provide food services, but doing so will help increase the money you will make over time.
