New Vegas Strip

The  is the area of New Vegas where some of the largest hotels, casinos and resort properties in the world were located before the Great War. It is under the control of the owner, Mr. House. Caesar's Legion is trying to take the area for themselves. It is modeled after the real-world "Strip" of Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, NV, that is home to some of the more glamorous casinos.

Gaining Entrance
There are 5 ways to enter The Strip:
 * Obtaining 2000 caps. You only need to show them, as the Securitron will not take them.
 * With a Science of 80, the player can hack the Securitron to gain access.
 * You can buy a fake passport at Mick & Ralph's. You will need 50 Speech or 500 caps (375 after bartering) to do so. Alternatively, you can complete the quest G.I. Blues, then use the favor given by The King to get Ralph to make you a passport for free.
 * There is a monorail in the Camp McCarran terminal building that takes you to the Strip; unfortunately, if you try to use it without some kind of NCR armor, having Boone as a companion, or by being "accepted" by the NCR, the troopers will open fire. NOTE: If you have ordered Boone to "Wait" anywhere on the map, the game will still treat him as an active companion and you'll be able to access the monorail without the guards turning hostile.
 * The Securitrons by the gate hold keys to enter the Strip. You can choose to kill them. If you have a high Sneak, you can use a silenced weapon or a Sniper rifle to kill them without being vilified. Alternatively, if you have the Robotics Expert perk and a Stealth Boy, you can disable the robots.

Layout
There is an entrance where you go to get in the strip. To the east is Vault 21 and the Ultra-Luxe, at the west is the Lucky 38, LVB Station and the Gomorrah. North is the Tops. There are tons of people walking around, most are drunk including some NCR, some soldiers can be observed dancing naked in the fountains or throwing up in a corner. Upon entering The Strip, rarely a Brahmin will be chasing after an NCR Trooper. There are usually gamblers, and NCR troops wandering around the strip.

Notable Loot

 * There are 9 red magazine vending machines at the side of the road that will put a random skill magazine in your inventory the first time you open them.

Bugs

 * Or take the monorail into The Strip and steal a key from one of the acts you recruited for The Tops. (Only after completing the Talent Scout mission; take the monorail to the strip)


 * There is also a bug in which the strip remains completely empty. There are only a few soldiers walking around. (additional observation - this seems to happen most often after you have already visited The Strip once before. It seems that the first time you visit The Strip it will be decently populated, but on return visits it can appear mostly empty, even at night.)


 * The Strip freezes when entered glitch appears to be tied to the "classic inspiration" quest.


 * "Old Cowboy Hat" - If the strip freezes when entered, this will allow you to gain access. One can be purchased from the "Crimson Caravan" outfit to the east of New Vegas. You can place the old cowboy hat in the first section of the strip and you can avoid it freezing, (The hat must be just dropped, not placed on someone) - Caleb Mcaffery's Hat will also solve the problem. This may also resolve the similar 'black screen' issue when leaving the Lucky 38 casino.
 * If you get the "Strip freezes when entered" glitch, sometimes just entering and exiting through the main gate from Freeside instead of fast-traveling there will keep the glitch from happening.


 * It may occur that when entering the strip all the securitrons will get hostile and you won't be able to complete MR. House's quest-line. this is simply solved by loading a previous save though this can result in lost of several hours of gameplay.


 * One can be locked out of the strip if you take the monorail from The Strip to Fort McCaran and the try to enter the strip through freeside. It is corrected by simply taking the monorail back to The Strip.


 * You may be locked out of the strip for no reason. Solve this by killing a Securitron with a stealth boy and loot its keys.
