Components

The components of the game have varied over the years. In particular, the tiles have been made from wood, plastic, and cardboard in various editions of the game. In the current 2008 version, the tiles are cardboard. The following components are included in all versions:

• Game board with 108 spaces arranged in a 12 by 9 array
• 108 tiles corresponding to the squares in the array
• 7 markers, one for each of the hotel chains: American, Continental, Festival, Imperial, Luxor (or Sackson in the 2008 version), Tower, and Worldwide.
• 25 shares of stock for each of the seven hotel chains
• A supply of play money, in denominations of $100, $500, $1000, and $5000
• 6 charts listing the prices of shares of the chains

The array on the game board is arranged with lettered rows (A through I) and numbered columns (1 through 12). The 108 tiles correspond to each of the squares: 5E, 10B, and so forth.
