Bison Steve Hotel



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

Background
It used to be an old hotel and casino. Laurie used to rent out rooms, but she took off a few months before the beginning of the game.

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. A large rotunda can be found on the first floor, along with a kitchen. There is an elevator that can be repaired with a Repair skill of 35. Once repaired, it leads to the second floor from the first, and vice versa. There is a crumbling platform/ceiling on the second floor that provides access to 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. There are also several lock-pick options in the hotel.

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 the Courier completely clears the first floor of the building and then leaves without going to the upper floors at all, and finishes My Kind of Town with any choice of sheriff, he/she 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. The Courier 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.
 * It is possible that the convict that is guarding Deputy Beagle will not attempt to harm the Courier, 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.
