The first hotel complex in the Worlds of Wonder Resort to begin construction is Lafitte Landing. This is actually the very first PC1 project I started when the game was first released. It was planned for Mr. Wonder's now abandoned project to be built in Bakersfield, CA. (The city counsel voted to throw him out of town, or something to that extent. I can't quite remember all of the sordid details)

Anyway, my PC building skills weren't quite up to speed, so much refurbishing will be required to get this up to the standards of a proper Mr. Wonder project. More details on the Worlds of Wonder Resort can be found in this thread...https://parkcrafters.com/topic/518-worlds-of-wonder

One of the six Veranda Houses at Lafitte Landing. Each will house 30 jumbo, family rooms, accommodating up to six guests.

The original interior of the Veranda House, where I used vendor stalls and restrooms to entice guests to visit.

Work begins on the new interiors.

i like it

I can't decide if I like the newer or older windows and doors better. It's not really important, but I'm wondering why you decided it needed to be changed. :-)

It's not the windows per se, but what you can see through them. 😉

Today we attended an open house at Lafitte Landing for potential guests to tour one of the Veranda Houses.

We're on the ground floor of Veranda House 1. There are 6 Veranda Houses in all, each 3 floors high... 30 rooms in each Veranda, making a total of 180 rooms in the resort so far. (And EVERY room is built and in place. No, I'm not anal.)

Mr. Perkins strolls past the laundry room.

There is one laundry room on each floor. (Washing machine, dryer, and vending machine are all original TMTK items by me.)

Each floor also has access to an ice machine and snack vending machines. (More original TMTK objects.)

All 180 rooms are jumbo family rooms, sleeping up to 6 guests each.

Each includes the main room, featuring 2 queen beds, bathroom, closet, widescreen TV, coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge.

The second room features 2 single beds and their own widescreen TV.

The 6 Veranda Houses.

Next, work begins on the main Lobby building, including the Deluxe rooms...

Are you saying that you furnished all 180 rooms? And you're not anal?

Interiors too!? Shyguy you are mad!

It looks fantastic, but MAD I say!!

Well, it's not like I manually furnished each room at a time. I created one room, duplicated it in a string of five, and then saved that as a blueprint. Then inserted each block of rooms into each building. The hallways, laundry rooms, vending rooms, and elevator were all duplicated in the same manner. It still was tedious lining everything correctly, and still took many hours (days) to complete. But this, to me, makes the park seem more real... like it actually exists. Which for me, is more satisfying.

Totally understandable! It's those small attention to details that really make a project stand out

... still mad I say! 🤣
