The Tops

 is one of the casinos in New Vegas in 2281.

Layout
The Tops is a casino right out of Vegas' rat-pack era. Frank Sinatra music plays softly in the background to the clinks of slot machines and the groans of losing gamblers. Security in the building is nearly airtight, with bouncers out front to collect a patron's weapons before they step inside.

A shady fellow named Mr. Holdout camps out near the Tops, willing to sell easily concealed weapons to a paranoid or violent customer.

Casino Ban
Should the player acquire enough chips, the floor manager will offer them a gift. As the player continues to earn chips, the floor manager will offer more, increasingly valuable gifts, culminating in a suite. After the player reaches 10,000 chips earned, they are banned from playing games in The Tops. They can still use it's other functions, such as the restaurant, the theater and cashing out their chips, but they cannot win any more money in the Tops. This ban is permanent.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
This has not been tested at other locations (casinos and cashier desks) but if you target the cashier on the second floor (Tops Casino) in vats and attack, your player will clip through the wall and you will be able to kill her. Be warned there is no way out of the room unless you have very high lock picking skill. PC players can toggle collision or use unlock cheat to get out. For both console and PC players you may target and attack a companion in VATS to get out.

The cashier does not appear at the desk, making it unable to purchase chips/play at the Tops casino. This is a problem if you want the trophy for getting banned from all casinos.
