Silver Rush

"Silver Rush: feel the rush of a warm laser in your hand"

- Mr. New Vegas

The  is a location in Freeside, and is the largest retailer of energy weapons in the Mojave Wasteland. It's located opposite to the Atomic Wrangler Casino.

Background
Before belonging to the Van Graff family, the Silver Rush was the casino which rivaled the Atomic Wrangler in Freeside. For unknown reasons, the Silver Rush attracted the ire of the Van Graffs who killed its former occupants and then set up shop.

Layout
This building serves as the headquarters of the Van Graff family's operations and as a hub of energy weapon supply in the Mojave Wasteland.

The main room is what remains of the gutted Silver Rush casino. Military barricades restrict movement of customers, to the advantage of security. Down a short hallway in the back of the accessible part of the store is a bathroom. The cashier's room is barricaded and locked. Past the locked door there are some safes, a locked computer, and a stairway to the living quarters.

The upper floor of the building (directly behind the sign) can be accessed from the second floor of the building on its right. The Courier may hop up the debris piles (companions can sometimes follow) to reach a semi-secret bedroom, complete with mattress and a small dining table that overlooks the street below.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Sometimes stolen energy weapons will stack, as in they won't be visible in your inventory until you drop an energy weapon of the same type (for example it will appear that you only have one laser rifle but when you drop it there is still another in your inventory that was hidden previously). Though these weapons are hidden they still add to your carry weight; so your carry weight is higher than it should be when looking at your apparent inventory which is how the bug was discovered.
 * Sometimes the inventory of Gloria never updates according to character level, selling only the same low-level weapons.
 * After killing the Van Graffs and leaving without taking the weapons, upon re-entering the Silver Rush, some of the weapons will fall through the floor and on a platform below. You will still be able to pick them up, but are harder to find.
 * When you first enter the Silver Rush, the weapons that lay on the counter will have quite a low condition, however, upon reloading of the auto-save gained when you enter the silver rush, the items may become fully repaired.
 * After exiting the Silver Rush, saving, and quitting, the auto-save and normal save may become bugged and result in endless loading screens upon re-loading either save.
 * An easy way to steal the weapons is to use r3 to pick them up without stealing them and carrying the weapons to the bathroom. check that you are hidden, and you can steal the weapons.

Behind the scenes
The Silver Rush's sign appears to be based on that of the Golden Nugget, a real life Fremont Street Casino.
