I totally want to go on a New Vegas vacation myself some day, lame as it sounds to say. Check out Red Rock Canyon and the Old Mormon Fort, cure my terror of Searchlight by visiting the real place, hit up Zion National Park maybe.

We flew over a place that looked exactly like the entrance to Red Rock Canyon, I was like, "Huh. I wonder if... if it was, New Vegas would be over there..." and there was Vegas, right where it should be. It was a really cool moment. Zion National Park is in Utah, and my dad lives there, so if I ever visit him, I'm totally taking a day to check it out. Visiting New Vegas locations in real life is way more rewarding than just seeing random cool stuff, 'cause I'm a giant dork.

Huh, that was odd. Took Mr. Hyde to Camp McCarran, where his Merciful Thug status means I was promptly shot dead upon getting too close to the guys guarding the monorail. So I reloaded, did some other stuff like talking to whatsherface at the concourse and getting her quest to find her husband's corpse. Came back, and...the monorail guards were gone. I strolled on through, took the train and landed in Vegas. Funnily enough, I've never actually used the train on any of my runs where I had good NCR rep and would have been permitted to do so.

The entrance is left unguarded for a while at those times, so that's probably why you could just waltz in. I guess it's an alternative way to get in the Strip if you don't feel like hunting down a NCR disguise, though I'm not sure how the NCR troopers at the Vegas station react to a non-NCR visitor.

It was a while ago that I did this, but if you put an NCR uniform on you can waltz right onto the monorail at McCarran, and then through the Vegas station, without any NCR personnel batting an eye. edit: whoops, didn't see the above post and quoted it at the same time!  Cheston posted:I just spent twenty minutes on Google Maps following the route from Goodsprings to NCRCF, Primm, the Freeway, Nipton, what looks like a solar plant and pretty much everywhere else in the game. I had never actually compared the real life geography to that of the game's. I thought they had shuffled the real world locations around a lot for design reasons, but the game's main path is remarkably faithful to the real world. It all comes together so sensibly in-game that I didn't expect it to be "real."
