  2. What real-world locations served as the primary inspiration for the New Vegas casinos?
    Joshua Sawyer: I can't remember, but most of the casino designs were developed by Joe Sanabria. There may be some videos online in which Joe talks about them. Sorry I can't be of more help.

  3. Do you know who designed the architecture of the Sierra Madre casino in Dead Money? Mission Revival + Art Deco is something the real world desperately needs.
    Joshua Sawyer: Joe Sanabria was the lead artist for Dead Money and I believe he came up with the style. James Garcia did the modeling and texturing, I think.
