According to prospector stories, the Sierra Madre lies in a dead city, surrounded by a poisonous cloud.Fallout: New Vegas loading screen, Dead Money

The Sierra Madre Casino is a location in Sierra Madre in the Fallout: New Vegas Add-on Dead Money.

Background

The Sierra Madre chief architect and financier was Frederick Sinclair. The casino was intended as a place for guests to reverse their fortunes and "begin again."Fallout: New Vegas loading screen, Dead Money

Construction of the Sierra Madre casino began a few years before the Great War. More than just a casino, the Sierra Madre is actually a fortress- a monument to one man's inability to let go. Its chief architect and financier, Frederick Sinclair, could see the Great War on the horizon, and wished to protect his love from the coming storm. To that end, he constructed the Casino and its outlying Villa, and at the Casino's heart, he built an almost impregnable vault. The walls of the casino are lined with a metal that interferes with radio reception and broadcasts.

What Sinclair did not anticipate was Vera's complicity with singer Dean Domino's plot to break Sinclair's spirit and steal the treasure of the Sierra Madre. Domino had enlisted her aid in his planned heist, later blackmailing her with evidence of her chem addictions, unaware that she was terminally ill. News of this broke Sinclair's heart. Left bitter and empty, he transformed his shelter into a trap, ensuring the elevator down to the vault only went in one direction, and upgrading his security holograms to make sure that rescue would never come for Vera and Domino. After Vera broke down and confessed everything, Sinclair, fearing he had overstepped himself, did what he could to reverse his changes, but was limited in success, leaving the casino a deathtrap. He died in the vault, unable to return to the casino.

Cantina Madrid

Main article: Cantina Madrid

The Cantina Madrid serves as the Casino's restaurant and kitchen. The whole area is filled with flammable gas until the several valves in the kitchen are shut off. Dog is in the Cantina Madrid also. Pre-War food (steaks) and knifes (cosmic) are found here, along with alcoholic beverages.

Lobby

Main article: Sierra Madre Lobby

The Lobby acts as a vector for guests to be directed to other localities within the resort. You may access any other section of The Sierra Madre, save for the Vault, from this area.

Casino

Main article: Sierra Madre Casino

The Sierra Madre Casino is simply that: a casino. Fully equipped with Roulette, Black Jack, slots, vending machines and a bartender, the casino area also does well to showcase the versatility of the properly functioning hologram system installed throughout the resort. You can use the gambling machines by taking pre-War money to a hologram cashier, you can trade chips for pre-War money, or pre-War money for chips.

Executive Suites

Main article: Executive Suites

Accessible via an elevator in the lobby, the executive suites are (or were) largely what their name suggests: high class bedrooms and suites for the Sierra Madre guests. The area is in a state of noticeably greater disrepair than the rest of the casino, with Cloud seeping in through some of the hallways, and many rooms have large holes in the walls. It is largely guarded by holograms.

Vault

Main article: Sierra Madre Vault

What's labeled as the "Vault" is actually three areas of what most people would consider "the basement" and then the Vault itself. Past the winding corridors of the "basement" you find the actual Vault chamber. From the outside the Vault chamber appears to be a stand-alone structure within the Sierra Madre, guarded on all sides with Mk.III automated turret. Inside, however, you'll find a vast supply of weapons, medicine and armor. You'll also find a few small pyramid stacks of gold bars, as well as a considerable amount of pre-War money. At the far end of the chamber sits Sinclair's terminal, containing a few bitter goodbyes. This room was where Sinclair had hoped that Dean Domino would end up, locking himself inside and passing away within its impenetrable walls.

The Tampico

Main article: Tampico

The Tampico was meant to serve the guests of the Sierra Madre as the prime source of entertainment with the best pre-War acts and performers around, including Vera Keyes, Dean Domino, and many other popular entertainers. The player's final encounter with Dean Domino occurs here during Curtain Call at the Tampico.
