Las Vegas

Postby shakeycat on Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:56 pm

Would Las Vegas work as a map?

If done properly, it could be a beautiful map with interesting gameplay. My two concerns are:

1. It may fall into the Japan trap - the strip has a very linear design.

This could be combatted with the monorail and strip itself. The strip would be a no-man's land where you lose armies in the desert heat, but could make travel quick. There are also back roads that could make things more circular.

2. Are we allowed to use hotel names?

I haven't drawn anything yet, but here's an idea of the shape of Las Vegas. This map is something like what I'm thinking of.

maybe try scaling it down a bit. I mean it does seem a tad big, though it does a potential I think.

The map, gleaned from Dollar Rent a Car, is simply a large graphic. If you look at the hotels and such, they don't add up to an overwhelming number of territories :)

How about there only be the famous hotels on The Strip, like the Excalibur, New York New York, MGM Grand for example?
