Wild Card: Ace in the Hole

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
After obtaining key from Benny head up to Presidential Suite. There is a safe next to the bar with weapons in it. Search around and make it back to the elevator door. then Benny will talk through the intercom and stand you up. There is a speech option that requires a level of 35. eventually the only text option is to threaten him, then 4 or 5 guards come through the door and the next step is to survive the attack. The 10mm machine gun from safe worked well to take them down quickly. Next the game tells you to go search Benny's room. One of the guys you just killed will have a room key to get up there. Next put away your weapon and head back down the elevator. Once on the casino floor. walk to your right down around the corner through the 2nd section of casino games to a row of elevators. Benny's elevator is the second on eon your right. Once riding the elevator you come to a hallway. To your left is two vending machines and a fire hose box. to the right are doors. Starting from the elevator, walking down the hallway of doors, the first one on your left is locked (average), there are bottle caps in the desk, a salesman weekly on the left bedside dresser, and a sexy outfit in the left bedside dresser. Exit the room and go to the next lock door on the right, that room had a bunch of pre war clothes in it. The next room on the right side has a programmers digest on the desk. The other rooms in the hallway have only perwar clothes. Then go through the big double doors and the yes man is hidden back through Bennys bedroom.

Detailed walkthrough
When you first enter the casino you can pass a speach check with Swank, allowing you to enter with your weapons. Next, if you you were able to pass the check and were able to keep your weapons, go past the front desk, across the casino floor and straight to Benny. Immediatly he will turn around and greet you. Then you will start to have a conversation with him. You will have many options when you first begin to converse, you can do the passive route and follow the responses leading to him giving you the Suite key and go up and wait in the room. The other route is to directly attack him. He yells for help from his 4 bodyguards and himself. Two of the guards will be carrying Silenced Submachine guns, the other 2 carry silenced .22 pistols, and Benny is using Maria, a unique 9mm Pistol.

Killing them will be moderate, afterwards, collect your treasure from the dead bodies and move to the suite.

If you choose the passive route, go straight up to the presidential suite. Once in the room, check around for clues, grab whatever items you need, and return to the door, where Benny with be on the intercom, with a high speech you can persuade him otherwise, if not you will end up having to threaten him, then his guards will show up and attack you. This will be easier then the immediate attack seeing as Benny is not there to fight, kill them and take the two keys they have. Leave the room back to the casino floor and go back out. Find the safe behind the counter and take it, once you have, Yes Man should confront you, talk to him to activate another quest.
