Lake Las Vegas

Lake Las Vegas is an artificial body of water located next to the House Resort (Camp Golf in 2281) and a marked location in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The artificial lake was created in mid-20th century by damming the Las Vegas Wash that feeds excess water from the Las Vegas Valley into Lake Mead. The wash continues to flow into Lake Mead beneath the dam, feeding water into the lake. The New California Republic established the intake point for their water pipe network at the dam, drawing water from both Lakes and pumping it back towards the Las Vegas metropolitan area and the cisterns, as well as the NCR sharecropper farms and other strategic locations throughout the Valley. The pre-War pump stations are fully automated and filter the water for contaminants, starting with the east pump station. which is the main food source for the NCR military in the Mojave Wasteland.

Layout
The lake has an oval shape, with various trash submerged on the bottom, including golf carts, shopping carts, tires, and other items that people tend to dump into lakes when nobody's looking. The only notable piece of loot is a Sunset Sarsaparilla crate  southwest of the lake, on a green yard chair placed on top of a cliff.

Appearances
Lake Las Vegas appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
