Lucky 38

The  is a structure that resembles the real life Stratosphere Las Vegas, as well as the former real-life Landmark Hotel and Casino. Mr. House, the owner of New Vegas, lives here. It has very high security considering House has a vast network of 'helpers'. No one aside from Mr. House himself has entered The Lucky 38 in decades after Mr. House decided to hole up inside. The Lucky 38, according to its sign, has the "Hottest Tables In Town" and also a revolving cocktail lounge. The day the bombs fell, the laser cannons on the Lucky 38 roof managed to destroy 8 of China's 77 nukes headed for Las Vegas.

Bugs

 * There is a faction error. Some Vault 11 turrets and Lucky 38 securitrons seem to share the same Faction ID, which means when you kill any turret in Vault 11, Lucky 38 securitons will attack you on sight - to solve this problem: open the console, and enter this command: setally 1267AB 0001B2A4.


 * Upon entering the lucky 38 the securitons might become hostile and attack upon entering including victor - reason of this bug is unknown but had occurred a few times on the Xbox 360 version
 * Upon entering The Lucky 38, followers will automatically go into wait mode (likely a persistant stance of Victors statement that your friends must wait outside the first time you enter the Lucky 38). To fix just open up the Companion Wheel and choose the follow me option.
 * Sometimes, once you enter the casino, you will not be able to leave. If you attempt to leave, the game will start to load, then crash. (Xbox 360)
