Vikki and Vance Casino

"Vikki and Vance, be our partners in crime."

- Mr. New Vegas, Fallout: New Vegas

The  is a casino in Primm, named after the outlaws Vikki and Vance. When the player first encounters it, the casino will be filled with Primm townsfolk. They have barricaded themselves inside because of the convicts who have taken over the exterior areas of the town and killed the sheriff.

In order for the casino to reopen, you must first finish the quest My Kind of Town. A few days after this, you will encounter a New California Republic (NCR) deserter named Layla in the casino. The casino will reopen for business three days after your interaction with her.

Layout
Inside the entrance are rows of slot machines. Beyond is the casino floor, which is dominated by the "death car": the car Vikki & Vance were driving when they were shot and killed. On the left is the cashier, where (once gambling begins again) the player can change caps into chips and vice-versa.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Trivia

 * The death car appears to have characteristics of nuclear power similar to the ruined nuclear-powered cars found throughout the game. And while the reliability of Primm Slim's information is dubious, should his story about Vikki and Vance being from the time period of Bonnie and Clyde be accurate, this would indicate that U.S. automobile manufacturers had been using nuclear energy as early as the 1930s.

Behind the scenes

 * Like the "death car" display for Vikki and Vance, there is a tourist display of the car belonging to the real-life criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde that they were driving when they were ambushed and killed. While it is usually at Terrible's Primm Valley Resort, it is currently on display at Terrible's Gold Ranch Casino in Verdi.

Bugs

 * Sometimes gambling will not resume ever, even after finding Primm a new sheriff and dealing with Layla.
 * The casino may also not open until completion of the quest to recover Vance's firearm.
 * when entering the casino Mrs. Nash and a random settler/resident may enter the room containing the cashiers office this allows you to walk straight in the back and help yourself to the contents of the safes without worrying about the door
 * Entering might corrupt your autosave.
 * Before the update or if you remove the update you can select to turn your chips in, you'll get your currency but your chips won't be removed allowing you to repeat for infinite caps. When your finished re-download the update, if you wish. (this shouldn't corrupt your save). The side quest My Kind of Town must be completed first before this trick works.
