Vikki and Vance

Vikki and Vance were a criminal couple duo that lived before the Great War.

Background
Described as the nation's "fourth or maybe fifth most infamous celebrity outlaw couple ever," Vikki and Vance began their crime spree two days before Bonnie and Clyde committed their first bank robbery. Their known crimes included shoplifting, check-cashing fraud, gas pump driveoffs and reckless driving.

The two were killed when they drove their car, posthumously referred to as the Death Car, into the crossfire between police and a gang of bank robbers in Plano, Texas. Primm Slim states that the ongoing crossfire "tore the car and both occupants to pieces," with the police later issuing an official apology.

The Vikki and Vance Casino and Museum in Primm is named after and dedicated to the crime duo. The establishment advertised "Authentic Memorabilia From Their Nation-Wide Crime-Spree!" on billboards and postcards, including the couple's "infamous" Death Car. The museum also displayed Mannequins with replica outfits that the duo wore that were found in the trunk of their Death Car, including Vikki's Bonnet and Vance's Lucky Hat, and Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun.

A Post-War criminal duo, Sammy Wins and Pauline Wins, robbed the casino for Vance's gun, with Pauline subsequently hacking Primm Slim to erase his memory file. Afterwards, the duo traveled back to their Wins' Hideout in Westside to plan a casino robbery at the New Vegas Strip, stating the Vance's gun is "[their] shot at the big-time."

Vikki
Her replica outfit mannequin plaque describes Vikki as being "well known for her sense of fashion," as well as conscious of "the styles of the period." The plaque also states that Vikki's fixation on expensive clothing was "thought to be one of the reasons the pair chose a life of crime."

Vance
His replica outfit mannequin plaque describes Vance as lacking the sense of fashion the Vikki had, adding that he "chose to dress himself how he envisioned a gangster" would dress. The plaque for Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun states that he never fired it and that it was found in a paper-wrapped box under suitcases in the trunk of the Death Car, untouched by the crossfire that killed him and Vikki.

The plaque also speculates that Vance might have killed "as many as fifty people" had he ever fired his gun, clarifying that "so long as his aim was exact and he was starting off with a full clip - or even more if he had additional ammo clips and remembered to reload!"
