Atomic Wrangler Casino

The  is a casino in Freeside. It is owned and run by James Garret and Francine Garret. It is across the street from the Silver Rush an energy Weapon store.

Bottom level
The main room has a vaulted ceiling, a stage, and a bar. The next room has the casino's cashier and casino games. To the right through the second room are the bathrooms and a stair case to the second story balconies

Behind the bar is a kitchen and storeroom accessible via a door around the corner near the bathroom with a very hard lock. The key to this door is held by both Francine Garret and James Garret, but it seems to be hanging open fairly often, perhaps because one of the Garrets forgets to close it when heading upstairs to their room.

Second level
This level has a balcony which oversees the stage and bar. Off the balcony are three rooms, all of which are unlocked. In the east corner of the balcony lies a rentable room. Stairways lead back down and up to the third level.

Third level
This level has the Garrets' room and rooms for the employees, through a door with an average lock which can be opened with the same key held by the Garrets. There is also a storeroom and several bathrooms.

This ban is permanent.

Notable Loot

 * A "Very Hard" locked safe on the upper floor contains randomized loot consistent with the safe quality. It's located partly hidden under the bed in the main bedroom. Be aware, if one of the owners is sleeping, they will warn you to leave if detected - possible hostile situation if you stick around. Similarly this upper floor has guards which may warn you to leave. Note:Possible to kill all guards with either melee weapons or one hit kills (sneak critical w/ energy). No karma lost, free to loot whatever you please.
 * Nuka-Cola Victory in first room on bookshelf behind Average locked door on the 3rd floor. Must be stolen.
 * Liquor (Atomic Cocktail x1,Scotch x1,Vodka x1, Whiskey x2) In cabinets in Living Quarters upstairs.
 * Several Stimpaks and rad-x in adjacent rooms, as well as supplies to make a Doctors Bag
 * Laser pistol, sawed off shotgun, and ammo for each in room next to guards quarters

Bugs

 * Once a player attempts to go to the second floor, or perhaps attempts to lockpick the offices/rooms, a bug may occur that interferes with interactions with NPCs inside of the Atomic Wrangler. Speaking with Francine Garret or the Currency Exchange clerk may result in a locked dialogue, and the only action that can be made is dropping inventory items from your apparel(by hitting square, the PipBoy doesn't actually come up).  Once your apparel inventory is empty (not to include what is equipped) the dialogue will unlock and allow you to finish the conversation however you choose.  This may also interfere with any dialogue with James Garret, as it appears that he will have no dialogue options beyond just greeting you.  A simple solution to the problem with the dialogue lock/inventory dump is to approach the NPCs that the bug affects with your apparel inventory empty save for what you want equipped.  This allows uninterrupted dialogue.


 * Once you enter the Atomic Wrangler your sound may bug out and even if you leave you will still hear the sounds of the casino's patrons in the background.


 * Once you enter the Atomic Wrangler you may encounter a large frame rate drop. If this happens turning around and facing the door has been known to stop it, however running around backwards can get quite irritating.
 * A bug can occur where you will not be able to enter the atomic wrangler, clearing cache does not work.


 * After completing the quest "Wang Dang Atomic Tango", if you acquired Santiago and Old Ben, both will show up at the Wrangler. You can only solicit Santiago's services, Ben will just sit at the counter. If you open a dialogue with Ben, you cannot ask for his services, but you can go through the initial quest dialogue with him. You have the option of telling him that James Garret is looking for someone to work for him. You can then use your Speech Skill (50 or higher) to convince him to go the The Wrangler, also giving you 50 experience points. You can continue doing this as long as you want, it seems.Also another glitch i have experienced is after receiving the free room for completing the quest "debt collector" you cannot store your belongings in the room without losing karma either leaving it there or retrieving your stuff.


 * If you're given the free room in the wrangler, prostitutes will not visit the player there, and you cannot purchase a room for them to visit.


 * If you ask Fisto for his service and select the option "Maybe later," option, you will receive 10 caps.
