The Tops

 is one of the casinos in New Vegas in 2281.

Layout
The Tops is a casino right out of Vegas' rat-pack era. Frank Sinatra music plays softly in the background to the clinks of slot machines and the groans of losing gamblers. Security in the building is nearly impenetrable, with bouncers out front to collect a patron's weapons before they step inside.

The 13th floor contains Benny's suite. There is a secret tunnel that connects to Benny's room via a hole in the wall. There is an elevator that requires a key to access. The Elevator leads to part of the sealed off section of Vault 21. There is no Key for the elevator and this section of Vault 21 is unfinished as well. It only contains a few Stimpaks and a few hallways that all end up with Inaccessable Doorways.

Rewards and Ban
Should the player acquire enough chips, the floor manager will offer them a gift of wine and steak. As the player continues to earn chips, the floor manager will offer more, increasingly valuable gifts, culminating in a suite.


 * 2,500+ chips = Vodka
 * 5,000+ chips = Brahmin Steak and Wine
 * 7,500+ chips = Suite Key (or Combat armor, reinforced) if the Suite Key has already been obtained through related quests)

After the player reaches 10,000 chips earned, they will be banned from playing games in The Tops. 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 the Tops. This ban is permanent.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Notable Loot
There is a Pugilism Illustrated on a side table near the pool tables in the Presidential Suite.

At the bottom of the hidden elevator shaft; in the cave area before entering the vault layout area there are two boxes of randomly generated explosives including C4, frag mines/grenades, dynamite and others - the boxes are either side of the vault opening

Bugs

 * If you target the cashier on the second floor (Tops Casino) in vats and attack, your player will clip through the wall and you will be able to kill her. Be warned there is no way out of the room unless you have very high lock picking skill. PC players can toggle collision or use unlock cheat to get out.


 * The cashier does not appear at the desk, making it unable to purchase chips/play at the Tops casino. This is a problem if you want the achievement for getting banned from all casinos. The cashier may be found around the Tops Main Floor.


 * If you are vilified or hated with the strip, you may find that as you enter the casino, you cannot move and the greeter does not talk to you, the only way to get out of this glitch, is by loading a save outside of the casino.


 * After playing the game for a while,and you enter the casino, the greeter will ask you for your weapons, and if you agree by either method, your game will freeze and you will need to reset the console.


 * Any save game (autosave or otherwise) in the Tops Casino (Gambling floor) will cause your game to crash when loaded.


 * The Locked (Average) door in the diner can become bugged, and know lock is shown. The lockpick mini game can still be played, however you will not be able to see the lock or the bobby pin. Behind the door is a kitchen of sorts with no real loot besides Nuka Cola Quartz and assorted foods.
