Camp McCarran

 is a location in the Mojave Desert which serves as the New California Republic's base in Fallout: New Vegas. It is located in the pre-War McCarran International Airport outside of New Vegas. The NCR soldiers operating here have only limited contact with the NCR at Hoover Dam. Camp McCarran is the largest NCR base in the area and serves as the headquarters of NCR military in the Mojave and New Vegas region. The site was chosen because of its close proximity to the Strip and its easily defensible location. The camp has several companies of soldiers stationed there, and covers the most area. The base can be found directly south of The Strip North Gate and south-west from NCR Sharecropper Farms.

Layout
The airport is basically intact, and the NCR has converted several of the guard posts into sniper nests. The arena in the center has been converted into campgrounds, with many tents set up. The Camp McCarran Terminal Building is very large, and houses more barracks, another kitchen, offices, and leads to the concourse. The Concourse still has intact planes, but they appear to be non-functional. The outer wall has sniper towers and the control tower. The pre-war monorail is still functional and allows quick and safe transport between the camp and the New Vegas Strip. However, Only military personel and VIP's were allowed to use it.

In the room inside the Terminal where Silus is being interrogated, if you have Rex or Ed-e as a companion he may get locked in the room when you leave. However he will appear with you again after some time.
