Detailed walkthrough
Enter the theatre area and you will have a desk with a computer and cash register in front of you, the computer can be hacked to discover the Tampico's lisitngs of how the show operates and there is also the Sierra Madre security code (which you will already have). Upon moving foward you shall see the main doors, with a skeleton and the Tampico's desk terminal password, which are inaccessabile and two paths that lead left and right, the path to the right has a vending machine at the end whilst the left has a skeleton. Both paths will make your collar beep, but on the right hand side path the door will be locked, so go to your left and your collar will beep and just at the entrance of the door frame above you to your right is a speaker, blow it up.

Now your in the theatre where your collar will proceed to beep once you enter but the speakers can't be destroyed as they are secured ones. If you enter from the left there will be a desk to your immediate right and there is a safe which is ver easy but only contains Pre-War money and Sierra Madre chips and there is also a first aid box with 2 Dirty waters,a RadAway and 1 Rebound. There is also a random selection of wines, whiskeys and Scotch. So if you head to the middle of the room beneath the stage there is a music stand with some menats and purified water next to it, this is a safe spot from the beeping. Grab the music sheet (known as Vera's Partitures) and you will have the backstage key and then you'll engage in conversation with the man himself, Dean domino. After a quick talk with him you discover he wanted to rob the casino along time ago, it is possible to pass a speech check here of 65. He says you can't escape and activates three seciruty holograms, one directly in front on the stage and two to either side of you, whilst none of them notice you straight away, make straight for the corner in the right hand side of the room where the backstage door is.

In this corridor there are minor spots of poisionous gas but are avoidable, move foward and to your left to discover Deans room with a radio in which you should turn off, but be careful because your colalr will keep beeping so run back to where you entered the corridor and straight again. Run just passed Dean's room and round the corner to see some skeletons, turn around 180 degrees and you will see a speaker shoot it, and then return back to Deans rooms where on his desk yo uwill find Vera's key and his safe. Run to the next room where you wll encounter a dummy, this is the backstage props room there is a speaker in this room. The speaker is as you enter on the wall to your left, but if you cant see it run to the middle of the room and face the door you just entered and it iwll be above a crate standign on its end. In the corner of the room there is an emitter behind a couch which you need to deactivate. As you leave the room the colalr will beep again and you will need to find Vera's room for the final radio which is in the corner to your irght, in this room there is also a song for Vera by dean take the holodisk on the same table as the radio and the key. the key works for Vera's Med box in her bathroom.

Go back into the theatre and from where you got Vera's song sheet got left up the stairs form facing the satge and find the projector room, make sure you have Vera's master key and there is a lyin Congressional style. Activate the projector with the holodisk and the secutiry will disppear. Go backstage again and the stage door opposite Vera's is open now so go in and climb the stairs and find Dean and speak to him and let him speak about killing you, you can pass a speec check of 75 to convinvve him for the key to the exit but unfortunately you need to kill him for the key. Then finally leg it for the exit as killing Dean results in his colalr been activated and you must escpae the room to save your self. you have about a minite to do so.
