Vikki and Vance

Vikki and Vance were husband and wife and "master criminals" before the Great War. The Vikki and Vance Casino in Primm commemorates their "crime spree". The player can hear the story of Vikki and Vance by consulting Primm Slim in the casino.

Background
Vikki and Vance were "notorious" crime duo most known for cutting a narrow swath of shoplifting, check-cashing fraud, and gas pump driveoffs, and reckless driving across Texas and other surrounding states. Their crime spree came to an end in Plano when police riddled their vehicle with bullets while trying to apprehend other criminals robbing a bank. The Plano Police Department released an official apology for their wrongful deaths.

Vikki is said to have loved fashion, and her clothing was once on display in the center of the casino (with further investigation, the player may find Vikki's bonnet and other clothing from the duo).

According to Slim, Vance purchased a high-quality 9mm submachine gun immediately prior to his death. Slim invites the player character to view the weapon on display at the center of the casino, but the case is empty. Asking about the missing weapon will reveal that Slim has a corrupted memory block; the player character may pass a Science check of 50 to obtain an unmarked quest that leads to Vance's 9mm submachine gun.

Appearances
Vikki and Vance is only mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Vikki and Vance are compared to real-life crime duo Bonnie and Clyde, with Primm Slim insisting that Vikki and Vance started first. Slim's account, however, implies that Vikki and Vance were in fact small-time white collar criminals; for example, it is expressly stated that Vance's 9mm submachine gun was never fired before he died. Like Bonnie and Clyde, Vikki and Vance were killed by being repeatedly shot in their car, although in their case, they apparently just happened to be caught in a police shootout with some real bank robbers.
