Background
Edit
Before the Great War started, Mr. House used his considerable genius and wealth to ensure that no missiles would strike the city of Las Vegas. Though a few warheads did get through in the outskirts, most of the city was spared. Despite this, the Strip itself was not re-settled until close to two hundred years after the war, at this point Mr. House began searching for the mysterious Platinum chip to rebuild the glory of Las Vegas. Sending out PDQ-88b Securitron scouts, Mr. House started negotiating with local tribes to exchange his considerable resource stockpiles for their help. Some of the tribes resisted, but three tribes eventually gained Mr. House's favor. They became the Omertas, the Chairmen, and the White Glove Society; these tribes began running the Gomorrah, Tops and Ultra-Luxe casinos respectively. Because Mr. House was dedicated to restoring Las Vegas, he insisted on transforming the tribes into families with cultures that hearkened back to Vegas' glory days.
In the process of rebuilding the Strip, Mr. House also "bought out" the residents of Vault 21. After they evacuated, he had the Vault stripped of useful technology, most of its actual volume filled with concrete and the entrance turned into a gift shop and small hotel. While the families were rebuilding the casinos, the rest of the locals were hard at work erecting an enormous wall around the Strip. When NCR traders and explorers arrived on the scene, they were amazed at the Strip and returned back to California with tales of opulence and great wealth awaiting travelers.
Eventually, when the NCR military itself arrived they were surprised to find the Strip so well-protected and heavily policed. Though they struck a deal with Mr. House to establish a base in the area, along with control of Hoover Dam, the NCR has never had control of The Strip. After the Battle of Hoover Dam the NCR negotiated an MP (military police) presence on the Strip, but their influence remains small.
Though the tribes that became The Strip's families were once hatefully opposed to each other, the demands of Mr. House have forced the families to play nice. They continue to hold long-standing grudges, but do not act openly against each other for fear of angering Mr. House.
LayoutEdit
The Strip is the heart of New Vegas. When entering through The Strip North Gate Gomorrah is to the right and the Lucky 38 is to the left. Further down the street is a gate to another area of the strip, which leads to The Tops casino, the Ultra-Luxe and the Camp McCarran monorail. Beyond that, through another gate is Vault 21, Michael Angelo's workshop and the NCR Embassy.

AppearancesEdit
The New Vegas Strip appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
NotesEdit
- The Securitron outside guarding Freeside people from coming in will respawn but Securitrons inside The Strip will not respawn except upon completion of The House Always Wins II where the Securitrons are upgraded to MKII.
BugsEdit
-
Sometimes, when advancing in "For the Republic, Part 2", the door to The Strip is locked.
- One solution is to travel to The Strip by monorail from Camp McCarran (unless it is already destroyed).
- Another solution is to kill a gate Securitron to get a key but you'll lose reputation (and all the gate Securitrons will attack you).
- You can use a console command to get the key: player.additem 00119875 1, or you can open the console, click the gate, and type "unlock" into the console.
- Xbox 360: Reloading a previous auto-save seems to fix this problem.
