Trouble following older cast to wealthy location (2,6)

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wealthy location' is the definition.
'El Dorado' can be an answer for 'location' (El Dorado is an example). I'm not sure about the 'wealthy' bit.

'trouble following older cast' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ado' (both can mean bother or commotion).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'older' with letters rearranged gives 'eldor'.
'ado' after 'eldor' is 'EL DORADO'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Place of fabulous opportunity" , "Fabled golden city" , "Fabled place for gold" , "Fantasy location" , "Place of great wealth, from fictitious city on the Amazon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
