Fort Frolic (BioShock 2 Multiplayer)

History
Every society, even one at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, needs a place to unwind – a place where adults can indulge themselves with a couple of drinks, shopping, or trying their luck in a casino. In Rapture, this place was Fort Frolic. It featured everything - from the fine arts, such as music and theater; to the more salacious distractions, such as strip clubs and gambling. And since it was also a shopping destination, it featured many boutiques selling goods from the most luxurious clothing to the finest tobacco. But during the Rapture Civil War, it was closed to the public, with Sander Cohen promising a "final frolic."

Lower Mall
The Lower Mall area was the area of Fort Frolic where a great many shops were located for the citzens to purchase fine goods. This area also has access to the lower levels of Eve's Garden. At the far end of the Mall opposite to the Metro Station is a spawning location of a Big Daddy suit, and a vending machine. Near the Metro Station there is a ADAM Corpse and Little Sister Vent. Near Eve's Garden there is a Machine Gun Turret.

Tobaccoria
Tobacco being one of Rapture's most popular recreational drugs caused a large market. Tobaccoria located off of the Lower Mall was one such establishment that fed the demand for fine tobacco products. This store sold cigarettes, pipe tobacco and cigars. There is a vending machine and a breakable wall that leads to the Fortune's Casino.

Eve's Garden
Eve's Garden is a large two-floored gentleman's club. The club was a popular club for Rapture's infamous and famous. Andrew Ryan frequented the club and Jasmine Jolie was the main attraction. The Garden has a main stage on the lower floor near a vending machine and an ADAM Corpse, and a balcony on the upper floor the overlooks the stage. A breakable wall on the upper floor leads to the Upper Mall.

Upper Mall
The Upper Mall was a popular location to shop and the main access to the main attractions in Fort Frolic. The Upper Mall has access to a two vending machines one on either end, two Little Sister Vents and a RPG Turret.

Casino
The Casino (also known as Pharaoh's Fortune) is a gambling venue located in the northwest area of Fort Frolic. It spans two floors of the level and is located in the northwest portion of the Mall. The upper level of the casino features many slot machines, several baccarat tables, and a small cocktail lounge. The lower section is "Employees Only" and holds only storage lockers and a station for fixing faulty slot machines. A flimsy wall can be broken to connect the downstairs section to the Tobaccoria next door.
