Ultra-Luxe

The  is a casino in New Vegas. It appears to be based on the design of the Bellagio, a real casino on the Las Vegas strip.

Layout
The Ultra-Luxe is a highly glamorous and luxurious resort and casino. It is considered by the locals of New Vegas to be the most glamorous and luxurious casino on The Strip (Mr. House himself describes it as "...A damn fine casino"). There's a very intricate fountain out front, but party-goers are discouraged from going for a dip by NCR military police and securitrons. It is run by the White Glove Society who can be found inside the casino. You can also have a suite in the Ultra-Luxe if you decide to pick Mr. House's faction. Unlike the other casinos you must pass a Sneak check (50 or higher) to keep your holdout weapons which can make Beyond the Beef difficult. Overall the building is divided into 7 parts:

Lobby and Casino
The Lobby and Casino area contains the lobby and casino, obviously. The highly fashionable bar The Top Shelf is also located in the entrance room that doubles as the casino ("The drinks are overpriced, but that's the point"). Mortimer can be found at the reception desk.

The Gourmand
The Gourmand is a famous restaurant run by temperamental chef and White Glove Society member Phillipe. The restaurant is renowned for its famous Brahmin Wellington, and boasts a long waitlist, even though it usually seems sparsely populated. Gamblers, travelers and other Strip tourists found here will theorize the White Glove Society is more interested in maintaining the Gourmand's air of exclusivity than filling the restaurant, and are subsequently padding the waitlist and arbitrarily denying access to customers. This suspicion is commented upon by Mr. New Vegas on Radio New Vegas.

Kitchens
The basement kitchens of the Ultra-Luxe are accessible from the Members Only Area, where the door is unlocked, and the Gourmand, behind a door with an Easy lock and close enough to restaurant staff to require some ability to sneak. The basement itself consists of a number of rooms, including Phillipe's actual kitchen, Phillipe's unimpressively-stocked pantry, the locked freezer containing Ted Gunderson, an elevator back upstairs, and a wine room, containing the bottle of wine the player is meant to spike with sedatives as part of Beyond the Beef. The basement hallways are regularly patrolled by a small group of three White Glove Society members. They will confront the player if the player is caught in the basement without honorary White Glove Society membership, requiring Speech checks of varying degrees to be placated.

Members Only Area
The Ultra-Luxe Members Only Area consists of a large dining room, adjoining prep room, reception area, closet, and 10-12 members of the White Glove Society, some of which are armed with dress canes and described as "bouncers." The bouncers will be hostile towards the player unless the player has been inducted as an honorary member of the White Glove Society by Marjorie, and subsequently been given a key to the rooms. An unlocked door in the prep area leads to the Ultra-Luxe's kitchens, providing access to that area for players with low or non-existent lock-picking/sneak skills who can't gain access from the Gourmand.

Penthouse
The Ultra-Luxe Penthouse is a very expensive looking homelike room. It's posh with a stunning view and soft violin music playing in the background and even has its own small swimming pool. Many find this to be the best penthouse, however, the player is not actually allowed to use it like the others. Being inside it coutns as trespassing, and therefore you cannot use the beds to rest and taking items counts as stealing. The storage in this area is nevertheless safe.

Bathhouse
An indoor swimming pool converted into a bath house. Contains the steam room where you meet the investigator's contact in the Beyond the Beef quest.

Rewards and Ban
Should the player acquire enough chips, the floor manager will offer them a gift of Brahmin Wellington. As the player continues to earn chips, the floor manager will offer increasingly valuable gifts, culminating in access to the Bon Vivant Suite. Make sure you wait for the floor manager to give you your rewards, if you start playing again before he does, it will glitch the Achievement/Trophy.


 * 3,750+ chips = Atomic Cocktail
 * 7,500+ chips = Brahmin Wellington
 * 11,250+ chips = Suite Key

After the player reaches 15,000 chips earned, they are banned from playing games in Ultra-Luxe. They can still use its other functions, such as the restaurant, the theater and cashing out their chips, but they cannot win any more money in Ultra-Luxe. This ban is permanent.
