Vault 21

 is one of the Vault-Tec Vaults, located in or near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Background
Its purpose in the Vault Experiment was gambling, reinforced by having only compulsive gamblers admitted as Vault residents, and all conflicts within the Vault were solved through a toss of the dice. Mitchell comes from here. At some point, Mr. House decided he wanted to have Vault 21, so he bet for it. And, of course, Mr. House won.

Layout
The Vault has been converted into another casino. It is located on the Strip, and is lit up like a giant Christmas Tree. It also contains a hotel (like many hotel/casinos in Vegas), because on the GameInformer screenshots, the letters HO can be seen on the sign.

Appearances
Vault 21 appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
