Two questions

[Brother Snake]

I'm trying to find Nines at the Last Round (so I can do the 'Elizabethan Rendezvous' and thereby get Heather as a ghoul and also score with Jeanette) but I can't find it. WHERE THE HELL IS THE LAST ROUND!?

I'm playing the game for the first time with a Toreador, and when I did 'The Ghost Haunts At Midnight' apart from getting pretty scared I also had a problem viewing the level as my computer couldn't deal with the darkness levels.
So is it possible to play through the game without having to do 'The Ghost Haunts At Midnight'? It would mean that Therese and Tung still have the feud but oh well, I'd survive.
Thanks!

1. from the venture tower (where lacroix is), facing the taxi: turn right and follow the road all the way around (keep taking the next road at each junction) and eventually you will get to the last round.

2. the haunted hotel is a main quest and has to be done, although there are two ways that it can be completed once you get back from the hotel after getting the necklace

Also, when you can't find a place just look for it in the sewers maps (specially if you're a nosferatu) or look at the 'bus stops', there's a city map..
(when you can't find a building in those maps, it's because you can't enter in it.)

Nines can increase your brawl skill if you take proper dialogue option, don't forget about it, because later there will be no chance of talking to Mr. Rodriguez.
