Huh, Las Vegas is a really huge city

However I really wonder why Washington wasn't totally destroy, geeez at least it's capital.
Well, I doubt Washington has *that many* first prority targets - White House and what else? There are many other places in USA that are better targets for concetrated nuclear missle barrage.

Still, wouldn't you agree that if Washington DC was hit with nuclear weapons that the damage would be worse than a few flattened landmarks and government buildings while the rest looks as if it was firebombed?

Las Vegas is invincible as long as the house bets against a missile landing.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.

If it was me i'd be tempted to bomb it for the moral damage alone. "Now we bring you breaking news. Washington DC has been hit with nuclear weaponry, resulting in the destruction of the white house and thousands of surrounding buildings. At this stage its unclear if the first family made it to safety, but the same cannot be said for the millions of civilians caught in the blast".
That's why the Americans bombed the targets they did in WWII isn't it? No Military value, just proving they could and would wipe city's of innocents off the map to hit the japanese leadership where it hurt and demoralize japanese troops around the globe until they surrendered.

Playing in a completely flat featureless desert is not entertaining, even if it is realistic.
Stop the generalizations.
Eh Sorrow, I don't think that comparison goes up.
I don't remember Necropolis' real name but the city was never directly hit by a nuclear warhead.
Instead it suffered the after effects of a nuclear blast when a nearby military base was blown up.

Well, it looks like a large portion of the city got cut down by a blast wave.
Hiroshima was practically razed to the ground with a lot of flat terrain, but I suspect that it was mainly due to wooden architecture - on most of photos I've seen, there are remaining stone buildings that were almost intact (in comparison to the surroundings, of course), while everything around them was completely destroyed.
So yeah, it could receive a direct hit or a very close miss.

Not to the extend that multi storied buildings are still standing with most of the internal matter still intact.
Perhaps on the edges of the blast wave but definitely not near the center where you often find the biggest buildings.

In Fallout 3 we never got the details of what was exactly dropped on Washington.
Or atleast i didn't.
So we can't say for sure but after bombs being dropped on the city and 200 years of exposure, scavenging and little to no maintenance one must imagine that there would be little left. Under the assumption that their materials and architecture resembled or mirrored ours.
I also read that Washington is built on a swamp so unless the climate was changed drasticly it would be slightly...wetter.
After all it's Science! not science.
If New Vegas was bombed and all that was left was sand and fused glass then well it just wouldn't be much fun would it

There were multi-stored non-wooden buildings standing in Hiroshima with all around them completely flattened.The Dutch Ghost said:
Also, Necropolis could be a very big city with a big amount of big buildings, like this one. So, not all of them would be at the centre of explosion.
About Hiroshima buildings:
Survival of some structures
Atomic Bomb Dome
UnidentifiedFlyingTard
Vault Fossil
I assume the desert would reclaim Vegas, so most of it would be covered in sand.
