Athena Hotel and Casino

Athena Hotel and Casino (working name) is a former luxury hotel/casino located in downtown Detroit in the Motor City Wasteland. In 2287, the "Purple Gang" is on the bottom floor, intent on breaking into the casino vault. The upper levels are full of ghouls.

Background
Before the War, the Athena was one of Detroit's most renowned and extravagant attractions. It rivaled even the most luxurious casinos in Vegas, and celebrities and magnates traveled across the globe to dine and gamble at the Athena.

The hotel was almost at full capacity when the bombs fell, with bigwigs and spectators in Detroit for the annual American Auto Show and Belle Isle Grand Prix. Many of the guests were from out of town and they thought it best to ride out the apocalypse in the hotel until help came. The staff of the hotel knew the building had extensive pantries and likewise thought it would be a good place to hold out. However some of the guests still desired special treatment from the staff. Many were used to a pampered life and still expected the level of service the Athena was known for. The staff couldn't believe it. Didn't they realize the nukes destroyed everything and help wasn't coming? Begrudgingly, the staff obliged to tasks like delivering the guest's meals and changing their bedding, only to get them to hush about the "level of service they expect". Not that there weren't still complaints. A casino worker returned after traveling the wastes to find his family. "More mouths to feed" declared one prominent guest. And just two days before, the chef told him he couldn't have his favorite meal because they had to start rationing supplies.

After a time, some of the guests began getting sick, some even died. They believed it to poison in their food, and the staff was trying to kill them. However the true cause was radiation poisoning. Dwelling in the upper levels of the hotel left them exposed to radioactive winds sweeping across the river from Canada. One guest started losing her mind but it is unclear whether the cause was ghoulism or vanity when she started losing her hair. One by one, the guests and staff either succumbed to radiation poisoning or turned into a ghoul.
