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 in control of Mr. House, the owner of New Vegas. The Caesar's Legion are trying to take over the area. It is modeled after the real world 60's strip, when buildings such as the casinos are spaced out.

Gaining Entrance
Unfortunately for the player, access isn't admitted without a credit check; the PC must have 2000 bottlecaps on their person, or have a certain type of passport to enter. (You can also buy a fake passport) Thankfully they don't actually take your money. With a Science skill of 80, you can also hack the computers for the securitrons to gain access as well. Alternatively, with a high enough speech check(50), the player can go to Mick & Ralph's, speak to Ralph, and gain a counterfeit passport for 500 caps or 375 caps after Bartering. Alternatively, you can enter the Strip through the monorail located in the Camp McCarran terminal; in order to gain entrance to the monorail terminal itself, disguising yourself as an NCR trooper is recommended as the two guards are under orders to not allow civilians through. If you are accepted by the NCR, you are allowed straight through. It is also possible to just kill the securitron guards and take the gate key off the corpse. The alternative to gaining entrance is completing G.I. Blues then using the favor from The King, he will tell you to go see mick and ralph's shop at the eastern gate and say the king sent you. The easiest way to earn the 2000 caps and gain entrance is to go to Silver Rush in Freeside. Do the first mission for them. After you finish go to the front desk and grab the plasma caster off the desk and sell it to the gun runners out side of Freeside.

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.

Bugs

 * It is possible to become locked out of The Strip's main gate. The prerequisite actions may be taken, but the door will remain locked, requiring a key the player can only get from killing the Securitrons outside the gate. The best way to do this is to shoot one of the Securitrons from afar while hidden and to make sure to kill it with a critical. This way, the others will not attack and you are free to collect it's gate key. If you happen to have the robotics expert perk you can also shut down all the Securitrons and kill one of the robots even though it says you shut it down. If using a PC, you can enter the console command to receive a key. Entering in the Strip from the monorail seems to unlock it.


 * Also sometimes you may receive freezing after entering the strip. A loading screen will be displayed, followed by an all black screen. this also usually results in the player's autosave being corrupted. This seems most prominent after completing the things that go boom quest.  Going to turn in with the ambassador, now all of sudden freezing every time i try to access the strip.


 * There is also a bug in which the strip remains completely empty. There are only a few soldiers walking around.


 * When in the Strip, the screen may "smudge", and you will see 6 copies of buildings and objects across the screen.
