Bright Lights, Big City, Big Security Check: Crashing the Gates of the New Vegas Strip
Ah, the New Vegas Strip. A beacon of glitz, glamor, and questionable decisions in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. But before you can hit the blackjack tables or wrestle a Deathclaw for caps, you gotta get in the damn door. Here's a rundown on how to navigate the velvet rope of the apocalypse, Fallout New Vegas style.
How To Get Into Las Vegas In Fallout New Vegas |
Option 1: The High Roller
Feeling flush with caps after looting a mole rat colony? This is the option for you! Head to the north gate of the Strip and strut your stuff up to the fancy Securitron robot guarding the entrance. Be prepared to cough up a cool 2,000 caps (ouch!) as an entry fee. Think of it as an investment in potential gambling wins... or a metric ton of irradiated iguana steaks.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Pro Tip: Unless you've been hoarding bottle caps like a squirrel stockpiling nuts for winter, this option might leave your wallet feeling lighter than a brahmin with a helium addiction.
Option 2: The Discount Dapper
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Maybe you're more of a budget traveler (or a champion looter with questionable spending habits). Fear not! Head over to Mick & Ralph's in Freeside (the slightly less glamorous neighbor of the Strip). These shady characters might just have a fake passport for sale, for a much more reasonable price (depending on your speech skills, of course). Just remember, with great deals come great responsibility (and maybe some Securitron side-eye).
Subheading: The King's Favor (because who doesn't love a good side quest?)
Here's where things get interesting. By helping out the Kings, a local gang with a surprising amount of heart, you can earn yourself a free Strip passport! Just complete a few quests for them, watch a gang war (popcorn not included), and the ever-so-charming King will grant you entry as a token of his appreciation.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
Option 3: The Sneaky Snake (not recommended, but hey, it's the apocalypse, baby!)
Look, I'm not gonna lie. There might be some rumors about a secret monorail entrance hidden somewhere in Camp McCarran (the NCR base). But let's just say it involves sneaking past heavily armed guards, possible laser fire, and questioning the life choices that led you here. Unless you fancy yourself a ninja with a knack for bad decisions, this option is best left unexplored... for most of us.
Remember: Security ain't what it used to be in the wasteland, but getting caught sneaking in is a surefire way to earn yourself a one-way ticket to the Mojave Desert, minus the fancy lights.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
So you've waltzed past the Securitron (or bribed your way in). Now what?
Welcome to the glittering oasis of sin (and questionable hygiene) that is the New Vegas Strip! Now you can gamble away your caps, fight robots in glitzy casinos, and maybe even find true love (though with the dating pool in the wasteland, your options might be... limited).
