White Glove Society

The White Glove Society is one of the Three Families, responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Ultra-Luxe casino on the New Vegas Strip in 2281.

Background
The White Glove Society is a former tribe employed by Robert House to run and maintain the Ultra-Luxe casino and hotel. The tribe signed a contract to turn away from their tribal identity, agreeing not to engage in cannibalism, and in turn, Mr. House agreed not to divulge their tribe's former name. Their hotel is an establishment of refinement and its operators change the subject if visitors inquire about their past.

Characteristics
The White Glove Society pampers its clients and provides the Strip's most elite casino experience. White Gloves wear formal wear and attire, and most wear a mask and are armed with a dress cane. The White Glove Society's day to day operations are managed by Marjorie. Mortimer oversees the Gourmand restaurant and works the front desk of the Ultra-Luxe.

In order to join the White Glove Society, one must have a notable member to sponsor them. Heck Gunderson mentions that the White Glove Society controls the food supply of the area. Philippe serves as the Gourmand's chef.

Related quests

 * Beyond the Beef: Some of the White Gloves now wish to return to cannibalism by abducting healthy, well-fed individuals. Mortimer's position in the casino also gives him the responsibility of finding suitable candidates within the hotel and casino to abduct, provided the White Glove Society is brought back to cannibalism. When one of these individuals escapes, they abduct Heck Gunderson's son Ted Gunderson as an alternative.

Appearances
The White Glove Society appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * The faction is mentioned as being operated by the Sawneys in the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide. Joshua Sawyer stated that the Sawneys was the faction's original name, used during development.
 * The White Gloves were written by Eric Fenstermaker.

Bugs
Upon finishing Beyond the Beef, Mortimer may have no more commentary. However, a quest note will repeatedly pop up saying to speak to Mortimer for more info on the White Glove Society, which cannot be accomplished, unless he is resurrected and then talked to via console.
