Details:
=============

Gaining access
- go to the one of the casino penthouse suites and examine the holodisk to start the quest
- follow the directions

Workbenches are located upstairs and in the armory with storage located next to them.

Survival recipes can be prepared at the kitchen oven, with storage available in the counter.

Glowing wall switches at doorways let you control the lights, open or close the window shades, light or extinguish the fireplaces.

The master bathroom mirror can be activated to alter your appearance.

The armory is primarily eye candy for all the weapons in the game. When you enter, your inventory is scanned and all weapons you have will be marked for display in the armory. Once enabled, weapons will be displayed permananently so you can do whatever you like with the weapons in your inventory. Generic weapons stockpile so you will have an awesome stash in your armory after a while (display only, you can't remove them). Uniques weapons have a special display wall which you can try to complete by filling it up with as many uniques weapons as you can acquire. Also for display only.

Th chaulkboard has different messages that can be displayed. Activating it will choose a random message each time.

The teleporter device can be picked up and is listed in your pipboy AIDS tab. Click on it to teleport to Desperados armory or to return from whence you came. Standard FNV companions will teleport with you. Companions from other mods will not be teleported although they will probably quick travel to you based on their mods design.

The shooting range is designed for use with single shot rifles and hand guns. No grenade launchers! I also had to block use of energy weapons because they do not knock the bottles down when hit. I guess only bullets can do that. Deposit 25 caps in the coin slot to start a new game. After a game is finished, activating the coin slot will reset the shooting range. You are given 100 seconds to shoot as many targets as you can. Normal ammo used will be restored to you after the game, but you won't recover special ammo like armor piercing rounds. Gun condition is not restored, they degrade normally. The more targets you hit the better your prize will be. Prizes are randomly determined from as mundane as a few rounds of ammo or a magazine to as nice as high end ammo or a weapon. The grand prize is a S.P.E.C.I.A.L point for one of your abilities.

The scavenger hunt begins with the gentleman guest in Desperados. He will offer to make a wager with you. Return to him with items he requests and earn double your wager. The scavenger hunts increase in difficulty each time. i.e the items to find are more scarce in the world. The items you need to find are typically items that were also present in previous releases of Fallout and typically have no significant value or use in the game. They are items that already exist in the game, none were added or modified by me. Have fun finding them!

The underwater grotto room is well hidden behind a secret door in the basement. Have fun finding it.


Compatibility
=============

Adds a holodisk message item to 2 casino penthouse suites. Mods which alter either the Tops or LUX penthouse suites may conflict.
Modifies an area of wilderness west of lake mead.


Known issues
=============

Dialogue's do not have voice files. Cick on the response text to continue.

Followers will not accompany you to the roof top. They will travel outside to the ground level beside the building. Not really an isssue I'm concerned about.

Followers may get stuck behind doorways in the basement. They will rejoin you when you exit.

Internal navmesh for .esp not npc friendly. NPC's can disrupt the clutter by walking over furniture. Attempts to use FNVEdit to set the .esm master file format causes the mod to not work at all.
