Overview[]

New Vegas[]

The pre-War city of Las Vegas was founded on May 15, 1905, and was a thriving tourist destination until the Great War. Las Vegas's main roadway and surrounding areas were saved from complete destruction thanks to Robert House, a wealthy businessman who was able to statistically predict the upcoming conflict and made preparations to protect his home town. Mr. House summarily used his considerable genius and wealth to ensure that most of the incoming missiles would not strike the city, utilizing surface-to-air long range missiles and long-range laser turrets on the roof of his casino, the Lucky 38. Though a few warheads managed to break through the defenses, the main city and vast majority of the surrounding area were spared from nuclear destruction.

In the years following the war, the Strip was settled by tribal families. After close to two hundred years, Mr. House immediately began searching for the mysterious platinum chip and rebuilding 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, Chairmen and White Glove Society, 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 effectively "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.

House[]

Robert Edwin House, also known as Mr. House, was the founder, President and CEO of RobCo Industries, a vast computer and robotics corporation before the Great War. In 2281, he is the sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip in the Mojave Wasteland.

Dawn of Man[]

"Salutations, Mr. Robert Edwin House, stalwart leader of New Vegas! With unparalleled intellect and ingenuity, you rose to power as a technological magnate in the years before the Great War - a conflict which you foresaw and extensively prepared for. Your calculations proved almost perfect, and it was thanks to your efforts that Las Vegas was spared from nuclear destruction. The chips were almost all in place to establish your beloved city and lead humanity into the future, save one very important chip - the Platinum Chip. And though you did not realize it, your centuries of planning and humanity's fate hinged entirely on one external factor you could not predict nor control - a Courier.
