Your Favorite New Vegas Casino

The Tops. Gomorrah is too seedy and the White Glove Society creeps me out with their masks. Atomic Wrangler is uninteresting with bad odds. Vikki & Vance is a close second due to Primm Slim and the death car.

I like Atomic Wangler the most because it is cosy; but too bad the container is still not fix and Beatrix still wouldn't follow me upstairs (god she's picky).

Tops is actually rank the lowest because there isn't much to it, and the presidential suite is not probably locked.........

The Tops has the look and feel of a 50's Vegas casino then any of the others.

Gomorrah, for the loot the guards have. All sawed-off shotguns and 10mm SMGs. Good caps in that.

Atomic Wrangler or Vikki and Vance, because they don't erase my hotkeys every visit.

The Tops. While I fully respect and appreciate the ex-Cannibals of Ultra-Luxe, the Mobsters of the Gomorrah, and the.... Robotic Cowboys of the Lucky 38, the Tops makes me happy.

Yes but you have to solve the sherif problem and revist them a couple of times
No unless you get that one Lucky 38 mod that adds them back in.

Most definitely the Tops!

Perfectly captures the style, with the faded aesthetic over the top done very nicely. Really well-designed - everything fits, everything is the right scale, it's nice. The Chairmen are pretty damn cool too. Ring-a-ding.

The others a bit less so, and I've probably put way too much thought into why - mostly because I think they're prime candidates for mods.

Ultra-Luxe - really comes close to getting that slightly creepy vibe happening but never quite gets there. I think a major contributor is that it's perhaps too well-lit (and too evenly well-lit). I sort of think it needs a bit of an entrance atrium as well - the open expanse at the entrance kind of overwhelms the white glove guys at a first impression, and an atrium adds that sort of exclusivity vibe as well. Kitchen area is a bit big but I realise there's plot reasons. But overall pretty decent.

Gomorrah - easily my pick for the worst-designed area of the game. It's like they didn't really know what they were doing with it. The first problem is the layout - it's far too big with too many samey rooms, and the layout is confusingly labyrinthine for no real gameplay purpose. All these samey areas dilute it out so badly - I honestly can't see any reason why the bottom level even needs to exist, and couldn't just have the couple of quest-relevant things incorporated into the other levels. And the outside area is just so cut-n-pasted, which is a shame because it could have been a fantastic area with a bit more work and imagination.
Second, the theme is just all sorts of incoherent - some points are going for the whole sleazy low-rent hive-of-scum-and-villainy thing and others are going for the kinda upper-class decadence; hell, there's a whole bunch of skulls on chains hanging off the main dancing stage as if they're going for a raider theme. And all very thematically confused about the whole casino/cathouse/drug den thing - so it's not convincing as any of them. And there's really very little sense whatsoever that this is the most sinful place in the wastes. The Omertas are okay, although a little generic, and they at least ought to have different suits from the Chairmen. Also why does their boss hang out on a chair in a fricking corridor? I dunno, I could go on. This place desperately needs some serious modding.

Lucky 38 is very cool, particulary the kinda-creepy faded downstairs casino bit, but not really a casino as such.

Ultra-luxe

The quest-line is great and not just a fetch quest.

I like the Wrangler. The Strip casinos are too flashy, too full of frauds and maniacs (though I like the frauds and maniacs in the Tops; Ring a Ding). But the Wrangler is just a part of a community. My characters always feel kinship with the natives on the outskirts of Vegas; I always help out the twins and they are definitely eccentric but seem like fairly decent folks (as far as the Wasteland goes). It's full of people I've interacted with, I have a room there (that I never use)... I don't know. I just like it.
