Vikki and Vance

Vikki and Vance were "master criminals" before the Great War.

Background
While not as widely known as the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, Vikki and Vance began their crime spree two days before them. Although, Primm Slim's account of the couple is less impressive, implying that Vikki and Vance were, in fact, only small-time white-collar criminals, perpetrating "a narrow swath of shoplifting, check-cashing fraud, and gas pump drive-offs." Their crime spree came to a halt in Plano, Texas when they accidentally drove their car through a crossfire between law officials and a gang of bank robbers, tearing both them and the car to pieces. The Plano Police Department released an official apology for their wrongful deaths.

Casino and museum
Despite their lackluster reputation, the duo were considered notable enough to have an establishment dedicated to them, the Vikki and Vance Casino in Primm. The casino features their death car, 9mm submachine gun and replica clothing items. All but the vehicle is missing, despite Primm Slimm's insistence. The plaque next to the empty gun case reads:

There are mannequins that had once displayed replica clothing items belonging to Vikki and Vance, but the items are no longer displayed. A plaque describes the clothing and correlation with each part of the crime duo. Vikki's outfit plaque reads:

Converse to Vikki's approach to fashion, the plaque located on the opposite side of the death car describes Vance's fashion sense as attempting to mirror how he imagined gangsters would look and that the items on display were merely articles of clothing that were found in the car's trunk. It reads:

The gun is currently in the possession of Sammy and Pauline Wins, who plan on using it to rob the casinos of the New Vegas Strip in an attempt to emulate the criminal duo of the past.

Appearances
Vikki and Vance are mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Vikki and Vance are a reference to the real life crime duo Bonnie and Clyde, who died in a shoot out with police on May 23, 1934. This date is reflected in the password to Sammy Wins' safe. The real world death car is based on the 1934 Ford Deluxe V-8 the couple were driving when ambushed and killed. The real world car is currently on display in a museum located within Whiskey Pete's Hotel & Casino in Primm, Nevada.
