First time out of the vault
I am new at this, so sorry if i do something wrong.
Okay, since i played Dead Money i has this question: Where is the Villa and the Sierra Madre Casino located?
 
They went to significant efforts to preserve the mystery of the Sierra Madre, hence the barely visible landscape, not defining how much time passes in-game to arrive there, etc. It can't really be in NCR territory because Dog would have to go through the Mojave Outpost to drag you there. I also doubt it's strictly inside Legion territory because then we'd at least see signs Caesar knew of it and/or tried to get in somehow, but it could be around the east or northeast otherwise (Ulysses knew its location, didn't he?). New Mexico would be an appropriate location but I'm going to rule it out because there's no way you, Elijah, Dog, etc. go all the way through Arizona to get there. So there's not enough data to say for sure, but if I had to, I'd bet on either a part of Arizona that isn't under Legion control, or northern Nevada (the latter being more likely).
 
I used to think that it was in the Sierra Nevada mountains, nearby Mt. Whitney, but that would put it in between Vault 13 and Vault 15- meaning, logically, it would have been an obstacle for the Vault Dweller to cross during the events of Fallout. Of course, we never got a mention of a mysterious red cloud surrounding a mountain in the Vault Dweller's Memoirs, so that's disproved. Then again, maybe it was hidden well- makes sense, seeing as that was generally what everyone was saying.

It's definitely in the Southwest Commonwealth, probably somewhere along the California/Nevada border. I would say that it's in the Great Basin, but trouble is we KNOW that it's in the mountains.
