[p]Hey hoteliers!

[/p][p]Launching next Tuesday (September 2nd), the Las Vegas update introduces a brand-new destination packed with features that you've have been asking for! From casino floors to high-rolling guests, this update adds a whole new layer of challenge and creativity to the game.
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]Here’s what to expect:[/h3]

• [p]Casino Zone – Design and manage your own casino floor, complete with slot machines and 5 different gaming tables![/p]
• [p]Croupier Staff Type – Hire croupiers with a variety of skills to run your tables and keep guests entertained.. or hypnotised 😱[/p]
• [p]New Items & Decorations – Customize your hotel with Vegas-inspired furniture and décor![/p]
• [p]New financial starting goals - Ramp up the difficulty and start with harder to achieve goals or take a relaxed pace, your choice![/p]

[p]Whether you're building a luxury resort or a buzzing casino hotel, Las Vegas offers a fresh and exciting way to expand your empire as its our biggest map yet!
[/p][p]Thanks for all your feedback and support during Early Access so far. We're so excited to see the creativity and chaos you bring to Vegas, after all what happens in Vegas.. Stays in Vegas so we expect wild builds![/p][p]
See you on the strip next week 🥳[/p][p] -- The Hotel Architect Team[/p]

[p]Hey Hoteliers, [/p][p] We know you're all eagerly waiting on a date for the release of the Las Vegas and casinos update, and we'll be able to give you that very soon!

Today we've got a little sneak preview of what you can expect in the update, and while not everything is in these shots, there's plenty to look at! This way you'll be able to start planning how you want to lay out your casinos and new hotels 😊

Las Vegas as a map will be 18 x 18 across 8 floors, so that's even bigger than New York with 2592 tiles. It's a huge amount of space to build in and you could possibly have a floor with a mega casino in if you wanted. We're also including 3 financial starting options again for those that like more of a challenge!

[/p][p]The casino zone can be any shape/size that you would like and you can even place it around a bar zone which would be quite fitting.

You can have multiples of each table, but remember you will need to have staff to cover them all if its suddenly busy. Croupiers are the new staff type coming with the update and they can move between types of table. If one has guests waiting but their current one doesn't, they will head over to run the game.
[/p][p][/p][p]Casinos can contain a variety of 5 types of casino tables - roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and a fortune wheel, plus 3 versions of slot machines for your casinos.

Each requires a cash deposit and must stay above a certain threshold to remain operational and you’ll need to tailor bet sizes to suit your guest types, just like you do with your guest rooms.
[/p][p][/p][p]We’re also rolling out a bunch of new furniture and items to help you capture that iconic Vegas atmosphere! Think glitz, glamour, and a touch of extravagance.. or just a fancy car on show in the middle of the room if you want. [/p][p]Your casinos can be overwhelmingly with bright light pillars and noise or a more dialled back and sophisticated vibe, you decide![/p][p][/p][p]

So what do you think? We hope you're excited and we'll have more news for you soon!
