Bison Steve Hotel

The Bison Steve Hotel is a building located in Primm in 2281.

Exterior
The semi-broken "El Diablo" roller coaster track wraps around the building. Three escaped convicts have taken positions along these tracks, and 2-4 more are on the ground outside of the hotel.

Interior
There are three floors, all of which are inhabited by convicts. There is an elevator that can be repaired with a Repair skill of 35. Once repaired, it will take you to the second floor from the first, and vice versa. You must walk up a crumbling platform/ceiling on the second floor to access the third floor. A stairwell on the first floor also provides second-floor access, as does a door after a section of the roller coaster track outside. The are also several lock-pick options in The Hotel.

Notable loot

 * Outside

This floor is accessed from the front of the building.
 * Ground floor

This floor can be accessed via the roller coaster outside, a stairwell from the first floor or by repairing the elevator on the first floor.
 * Second floor

This floor can only be reached via one of the second floor rooms featuring a collapsed ceiling, which forms a ramp that can be scaled with jumps. It can be reached from the collapsed room where the collapsed floor faces the "wrong" direction by precise jumping.
 * Third floor

Appearances
The Bison Steve Hotel appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * Its name, style, and the roller coaster built in front of the hotel is a reference to Buffalo Bill's Hotel and Casino (and its famous roller coaster Desperado), in Primm, Nevada.
 * El Diablo is Spanish for "the Devil".

Bugs

 * If you completely clear the first floor of the building and then leave without going to the upper floors at all, and finish My Kind of Town with any choice of sheriff, you may on returning find all convicts on the second and third floors dead, their bodies scattered over the rooms and corridors. They can then be picked clean with no interference. You may also be met by a NCR trooper walking down one of the corridors and out of the hotel; the trooper is not named and will only give a stock response to inquiries (for instance, that he'd hoped there would be more gambling). This hints that the NCR moved into Bison Steve's after the player cleared the first floor and killed the convicts on the second and third floors. (The convicts on the roller coaster track outside remain alive.)
 * It is possible that the convict that is guarding Deputy Beagle will not attempt to harm you, companions or Beagle when he is freed, even though the compass indicates that the convict is hostile. The convict may also be in a seated position in mid-air to one side of the stool that's he's supposed to be sitting on.
