So, a few weeks back, I started saving for a nightclub. Until now, I was only planning on buying 12/24/48 buildings. But many people are saying that even though you can't get all 4 collections on the nightclub, it is still worth it for the economy boost. A couple other people have stated however that they sold their nightclub(s). So a week or so ago, I had my 40 Mil, but still wasnt sure what to do. Instead of getting the nightclub then, I decided to think more and upgrade my MT's to L8. The 2nd one will be done upgrading in 30 hours and I still havent made a decision.

Here are the choices I am pondering:

1) Get Nightclub - leaving me with about 9 Mil to begin upgrading other bldgs.

2) Stick to 12/24/48 plan and use 49 Mil to upgrade other bldgs (rocks, lofts, etc)

3) Keep saving for nightclub with the plan of banking approx. 106 Mil so I can upgrade nightclub to L2 right away.

I am L113
My IPH is $138,000

My 12/24/48 buildings:

(2) Condos L1
(2) Dominicans L7
(2) Rock Cafes L1
(2) Upscales L1
(2) Lofts L5
(2) Beachside L4
(2) Internet L3
(2) MT L8
(2) House L10
(2) Brownstone L2
(1) Magic Playhouse L5
(2) Crematorium L1
(2) History L5

Then I have some assorted smaller gold bldgs (ice cream, smoke shop) and some leftover shantytown buildings. Oh and I forgot (1) L7 Warehouse of course.

I think I know which way I am leaning, just want to see if anyone can change my mind or introduce something different I havent thought of. Interested to hear from anyone who has sold their nightclubs and other people using 12/24/48 strategy if they made an exception for the nightclub and if they regret it or not (do you see noticeably more robbery attempts). I don't mind some robbery attempts, but I also like my newsfeed somewhat slower moving bc I am usually in some kind or fued with someone at any given time and enjoy the direct links to their hood so I can check in on them many many times a day :) . Thanks all. :D

sold my nightclub and everything else under 12h except the linkomat a while ago.

i got robbed too often on my 6 and 8s and using landmines i mostly lost more money on the rob than i could gain. im happy with my easy to manage 2 logins a day hood and dont regret that move, selling them all gave me over 70m back to upgrade a palm. all focus on 24/48 here

Since we had an iph event you could think we might get another type of iph event in the future. Nothing is better for iph than a nightclub. If you miss the collection a day and can make the rest it is well worth it. If it is going to piss you off to see it robbed when you are sleeping you might want to think about it. Go with the nightclub...

Def build the NC! Just do the build at a time you think you can collect it four times dailymwith regularity . Make the collections at 12s and 6s or 1s and 7s, as those seem like times many could handle collecting. Enjoy!

IMO, at our level the nightclub can be used to help upgrade other buildings quicker even if you decide later you don't need it.

I'm in the same boat... I have 60 mill saved and wanted to buy a nightclub, but I don't want to get robbed 24/7 and have my stats farked off. Ego and pride get I the way. I Decided to stay with the 12/24/48. Get your hotels and office buildings and upgrade like hell...

I personally would go with it since you already have the money - everyone says it's a game changer.

Can I ask you - when you were saving - did you spend on anything at all. I am about a quarter of the way there but I don't think I can just save without doing anything for another 3 weeks. I currently am at about 112K

I was thinking I would save for the NC and the come back and get some of the other buildings that I passed - like Office Building and French Restuarant - and then concentrate on upgrades because once you have the NC the theory is you will be getting so much more income it will be easier to pay for upgrades.

I'd build that NC and save every dime until you can upgrade it to 2. They rock at level 2 and 3.

I still spent money on upgrades. I just chose longer upgrades so that I would be banking more money than the upgrade cost while it was being done. Did a couple Loft L5 upgrades, and MT's from L6-L8, bought a second ice cream stand and got it to L10. It built up relatively quick without sacrificing any upgrade times. I kinda really want to get both my Rocks to L2. I think its like 15.3 Mil for each. Still on the fence.....

Here is was I did:

Saved 40 million. Built NC. Dropped to 400 mafias. No banked till 46 million. Upgraded to lvl 2. Now saving for lvl 3.

Due to the mafia drop my stats/mafia are that good my NC didn't get robbed a single time yet. I typically manage only 2, max 3 collections a day but from lvl 2 on they are still massive income booster. Will propably upgrade to 4 and then push the 12/24 builds and go back to 500 mafia.

Yeah, the jump in payout from L1 to L2 is like 167K/6Hr - 500+/6Hr, right? That does sound very tempting.....

Only reason I don't drop my mafia and do what the previous post says... I love doing TL goals...plus I'm almost at 165 for the next gold building. I love building gold buildings and upgrading them because they go faster...helps save money....
Ya dig? lol

the income from the club is good to do more upgrades, the rock cafes double thier income with that first upgrade. you could udgrade one of them and build the club, when the club is done building the upgrade on the cafe will be too then you could upgrade the club, whith the extra income from the cafe you will have enough to do the second cafe by the time the club is upgraded.

Everybody asks whether they should build NCs or not, and the reality is the only person that can answer that question is the person asking.

Can you collect em most the time? Build em.

Will have trouble collecting them? Don't build em.

Only you can know what your collection schedule looks like.

I just got 2 Rock Cafes back to back - didn't think of upgrading them right off the bat but maybe I should think about that. My income jumped way up just with buying them so I was dazzled by that............:D

If I was sure I could collect at least 3x a day, it'd be an easy decision. I'm just not sure I can all the time. I think I'm gonna upgrade the Rocks to L2 and lofts to L6. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Maybe there will be a nightclub in my future. Still waiting to rob my first one, I think I have only come across 2 hoods that even had them.

When you hit the high levels, and get into real rivalry, the NC will just be income to be taken off you because of the 6hour turn around. I have PT's and thats all they are because I cant cope with 8hr collections even.

Remember even if you manage to collect 3 times, only 2 of them 3 will be full value collections. Because on one of them you will have been robbed. (you may have to think about that for a second)

Yeah, that's what worries me. I tend to get into nasty wars with people and talk a lot of smack if you p iss me off. I'm sure my hood is stalked non stop. And it's not like the 6 hr collection will be synced with my 12s or anything so there is no guarantee I can collect effectively. Just opened up the pirates and I'm passing on them too I think. I'll wait for gent clubs to open.

You know what - I thought that too - but I just got my 2 rock cafes last week and was on vacation - so just checking my hood once or twice a day - so of course I got robbed like crazy and even now am way out of sync cause haven't got back to NA time.
BUT - you can ignore it a bit I find once you realize you have way better stuff......just remember - the boys with the most toys win.......lol

I'm not planning to pass on the pirates - now we just need something with dragons!

Ive got 40 million was going to get a nightclub but may now get 2 hotels only thing is I'm sure I can collect from the nightclub 90% of the time I hardly ever get robbed at the moment income is only 59k an hour have good def an attack of course when my income more than doubles I will be more of a juicy target.
Like the idea to keep all my high income buildings 12/24/48 then I can relax more don't want to be staring at the clock worrying about NC all the time.
Playing this game on my iPad 2 have it on all the time next to me 24/7 more I think about it more I'm going for the hotels they have great income too.

I'd build it, it is a huge Eco booster. I normally collect 3/4 times. But have gotten all 4 past couple of days. Once you make them you can quickly recover the spent income like I have. From $0 I can get to the 66 mil in just 10 days, less if I rob some good buildings

80k and below, 80k to 200k, 200k and above.
These are three different stories,

answer for whether or not to get a NC would be
No, depends on personal favor and their level, Yes.


For those of you who is at 80k to 200k,

if you are at high level, your hood must be having a very high IpH boost potential,because the reason you are still under 200k is that you didn't fully upgrade buildings to its strongest level. So a lot of potential there,go ahead and bump those lvl1s and 2s up a bit, you will find 100k IpH boost in 30 to 40 days is a piece of cake.

However,if you are at low level with around 100k income, there's really not much things worth to upgrade even higher, all that left are low value expensive and long time consuming upgrades. Saving for NC is actually a best decision for camper or crawler like you.

The nightclub is worth every dollar and every second of build and upgrade time. I am working on level 6, I can't complain. Even robbed or collecting less than 4 times a day it'll still outpace the rest of your hood by at least a factor of 3.

When I started this game i immedieatly realised that this was a time game and IPH only works when U live on this game and collect every penny available but then U dont sleep eat drink or live.. so I live 2 times a day should b enough but i also have 8 and 6 and now 1 hour buildings just because they look nice.. as for your question as a thief in this game if U buy a nightclub i will follow U to rob U because I know U sleep more than 6 hours..but U are on level 116 im only on level 99 b wary im coming..lol... PS its only a game we rob others rob us and when i upgrade i do so thinking half of this will go to someone else makes my game easier to live with..

Just a bit off topic, but is the gentlemans club better or worse then the palm hotel? I know the gentlemans club is cheaper for 2, I'm also in the process of either the casino or the NC.

Or is there another option that people can see that I haven't yet?

Nice necro of a 5 month old thread. Bet he's higher than level 119 now, huh? Look at the post dates when you're reading, absorb the valuable info, realize that the info may not be accurate anymore, and then don't reply to a dead thread. :)

Easiest answer... Get better stats so you don't get robbed! You should have every building available if you want a good iph. Your stats and iph are weak for your level so I guess if you don't want to improve just keep getting 24 hour buildings. The more money you have the more you can upgrade the LE buildings and get strong units out of it. I am level 1 $55k iph ... Have every building possible for level 1 and my lofts are level 5 now saving for a night club. I plan on having every building at level 10 before I start to level. You should hold tight until you improve you iph and stats. Enjoy!
