The Tourist Wealth Ladder
(Low/Medium->Low/Medium/High->Medium/High->High)
Step 1:
The goal will be to end up with nothing but high wealth tourists. To get there, you're going to have to start off with lower end casinos and work your way up. Slow growth is really the best method for climbing the tourist wealth ladder. Expand slowly, while keeping a reserve of funds so that you can ride out the peaks and valleys of tourists coming and going.
Step 1: Low/Medium Wealth Tourists: Gambling Houses, Sci-Fi Casinos
Step 2: Low/Medium/High Casinos: Sleek Casinos
Step 3: Medium/High: Roman Casinos, Elegant Casino
Step 4: High: Elegant Casinos with no signs
I would advise sticking with the low end casinos and/or the Sci-Fi casino until you have over $300, 000 in reserve.
You have to start somewhere: 3 Low End Casinos dot the coast
Step 2: Once you have a steady positive cash flow from your Casino Halls and Sci Fi Casino, you can go ahead and build a Sleek Casino. Once that gets stable and profitable, you'll want to demolish the low end casino halls. This is the first big step of the Tourist Wealth Ladder. If you think things are going a little slow, plop another Sleek Casino. But if your casinos are staying full, perhaps it's time for the "Gateway to the Elegant Casino": The Roman Casino.
