Puesta del Sol



Puesta del Sol is a location in the Sierra Madre found in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Background
Puesta del Sol's construction crews had numerous clashes and arguments with the casino construction crews and the construction lagged behind Salida del Sol. It was as if construction efforts ran out of steam and money.

Layout
There are two sides to Puesta del Sol, North and South. There are at least two levels in most areas, often allowing the player character to move safely on rooftops or balconies. This can be invaluable in avoiding red clouds and passing through radio sources safely.

Puesta del Sol north
Upon entry through the Puesta del Sol north gate, there is a hole in the wall to the north. To the other side, then north, there is a courtyard. Rather than going through the hole in the wall, going west to the "town square" leads to the service route. Northwards is an intersection.

The intersection (there is a signpost with "town square" written on it) leads to a hologram vendor. To the west and facing the southern wall is a hole in the wall. Inside is some crates, a staircase and trip wires. At the top are some wooden planks, which lead to the zone to pick up the radio frequency "743.00Hz ULF" (Elijah's frequency). There is a bear trap right behind the ledge at the end of the planks.

On the westward path, past the hole in the wall, there is another intersection. To the east a courtyard that leads to a hologram vendor. To the west is a path, that when followed leads to the service route and the entrance to the path connected to the Puesta del Sol switching station.

Through the path connected to the switching station is a gate leading to Puesta del Sol south.

Puesta del Sol south
The gate leads to the area where Dean Domino must be left in Strike Up the Band. Nearby is the entrance to a ruined store.

On the path south-west and past a hologram which appears after Strike Up the Band, there is a hole in the wall leading to a store on the northern wall. Inside the store is a vending machine code for Buffout. The store also has a Sierra Madre vending machine.

To the south is an archway leading to a building. The building overlooks an area filled with the Cloud. Westwards is an area filled with the Cloud.

To the north is the second entrance to Puesta del Sol south, as well as an entrance to a ruined cafe. Once again, to the west is an area covered with the Cloud.

To get there, go into the ruined cafe and exit through the top floor (exit located southern part of cafe, not north or east).

The vending code is on the ground at the base of the center column opposite the ramp you came up.
 * The vending machine code for Buffout is located east around corner from ruined cafe in a shop with a vending machine.
 * The vending machine code for the demolition charge can be found in the southwest side of Puesta del Sol South, near a pool table on the third floor of a building with a wire ramp surrounding a courtyard of toxic cloud. It is on the same level as a sun bathing room, above the laser pistol.
