Update 23

Paradise Beach Resort and Casino

Railrod- Welcome back! Glad you like the updates!

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Today we will venture out onto Tropical Boulevard again to check out the newest hotels raised up on the waterfront. The newest resort is the Paradise Beach Hotel and Casino.

 

Paradise Beach is an 1,100 foot - long beach, centrally located off Tropical Boulevard. Hotel chains including the Hilton, Double-tree, Radisson, and Days Inn have been in battle over the perfect lot with the perfect beachfront. But an intelligent man known as Howard J. Longo claimed the land and started construction on his masterpiece luxury resort before any other hotel chain could rebel. After years of construction, two buildings in the resort have been completed, and Howard Longo keeps getting richer and richer! Now included on the resort grounds is a 9 hole golf course, 2 outdoor pools, and a lovely beach!

This update seemed more realistic!  If you would have just had the first picture, I would be impressed!!!!  That golf corse is HOT!!!!  Great use of the beaches  without the parking. smart thinking   Over all really really CL

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks Railrod, what picture do you mean first? You mean construction of the resort?

Anymore comments ?

[Fairlane500 8]

Awesome, I've been thinking of building a city with a beachfront hotel skyline, and this has inspired me even more to do so.

[MayorTim 16]

Looks awesome: A suggestion for the future. Beach resort towns like these (Or at least Florida ones) do have big posh hotels and condos sitting right on the beach, so good job there. They don't, however, have roads in front of them. A road by the beach makes it a public area, so most condos buy property right on the beach so that that strip of beach has limited access to everyone but their guests.

Also, just to let you know, behind these big, expensive hotels are usually 1 or 2 story, low wealth, run down surf shops, bars, and resturaunts. Trailer parks are also a common sight.

[MayorTim 16]

EDIT: Double Post, sorry about that.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks mayortim and fairlane.

Mayortim - I only made those roads there because if I don't, there would be no access to the hotel! Also, many of these hotels are residential like the Palm Plaza and Lake Point by O'neil.

[Chris M 406]

Hey mike !

The BATs you use are great, I love the coastal look. The beach is great as well, I love the way it looks.

Mike - I really like that golf course... Very nicely done.  And the resort area is looking fantastic.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks for all your comments! Now for some responses...

 

DragonAnime - Thanks for commenting. Glad you like it so far!

railrod7 - I'm glad you like those pictures. I think the beach looks really good.

kingofsimcity - Nice to see you back here. And it happens with me too, sometimes you don't get to all the city journals on your list to check every update. So sorry if  I haven't replied often in Goldenrod Plains!

 

jacqulina - Thanks for your comment!

 

aasim45 - Thanks for visiting again. Glad you like the pictures.

 

ephorex_77 - LOL. I'm not sure if you need to, I think I get the point

 

Phoenixjp - Yeah, Covina is definitely my most populated city I have ever built, with 450,000 citizens. I am really surprised my computer specs could handle that.

 

Compromise - Wow! One of the best updates on Simtropolis? That's cool! Again, your CJES is really constructive and a nice way to critique journals. And I will work on keeping it realistic.

 

dhoppeii - Thanks for commenting here! I'm glad you like the golf course! Hope to see you here soon!

 

To All: I am working tonight on some of Tropical Boulevard, and have an update ready for you tomorrow.

 

Thanks again for your comments!

looking forward to seeing your new one soon!!

Well I am posting more often now.

 

The beach front looks very nice. How about adding some of Simgoober most wonderful Swimming pools. They are so realistic in my option. How about parking for all the tourist people? anyways.. Looks very nice. I would like to see close ups on the beaches. Right now I need good tips at beaches.

 

Great work!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Thanks for your extra comments!

Ephorex - Well if you want a downtown shot, you're in luck! Just north of downtown Covina is all urban too, and you'll be seeing that in the next update.

 

Mexicanboy13r - I wasn't aware that Simgoober has a set of swimming pools? I would like to use something more realistic than overlay textures as pools! I will definitely look up swimming pools and see what comes up. Also, parking would be another great option, I was going to set up a parking lot near many of the Tropical Boulevard monorail stations. You will see!

 

To All: Update should be sometime today. Possibly even two; one of North Covina and the other on Tropical Boulevard.

Superb beach area!! I'm taking note of this.......
