Behind the scenes

 * Area 51 was to appear as a location in Fallout 2, with Lynette's talking head to be used as a spokesperson for a group of scientists living in the ruins.
 * When asked why the base was not included in Fallout: New Vegas, Joshua Sawyer expressed that the land between New Vegas and Area 51 was not close nor interesting enough for inclusion. In addition, he remarked on the popular culture association between the base and extraterrestrials, which had been covered in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.
 * Area 51 is a reference to the real world location of the same name.
