Vegas Showdown

Players are millionaires and want to build the most prestigious hotel casino on the Strip in Las Vegas. In each round each player chooses an action, mostly auctioning for a tile and placing this tile. The tiles represent rooms, land and gaming machines, they enhance population, revenue and reputation. Population and revenue enhance income, reputation enhances victory points. One can garner reputation by good placement of tiles, e.g. hotel entrance connected to the casino entrance, or by diamond patterns on the crossings. When a player has filled his board or there are no premium cards left, the game ends and the player with the highest reputation wins.
