Forum:Where the feck is the Sierra Madre casino based?

I'm stumped. Genuinely. I'm banking on someone local having an idea of where it may be based on, as it would be cool to know, it would sit well with me, bringing me a sense of peace, man. Is that just me feeling that?

Nice. I'm off to register as a user now, suhweet.

Consider me registered! See, I'm looking on google maps, and it really isn't apparent where it could be, and I have a healthy curiosity as to where it could be.

Well, it's not as if I'm able to play any new DLC's to quash my sense of boredom is it? And Miss tactictoe has gone to bed (pregnant y'see, she's got no staying power, the massive lightweight) **smily winky face** Tactictoe 22:02, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Well, there is a Sierra Madre, CA, just southwest of the Mojave National Preserve (and New Vegas). It is northeast of LA, and is settled right up against the mountains, which could make sense, considering you see the casino on top of a cliff/mountaintop.--DarkCheshire 22:24, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Doubt it could be that close to the Boneyard, NCR would have noticed it and done something about it in the pre-Elijah ending. There's the whole Sierra Madre mountain range that it could be hiding in. Nitty Tok. 22:27, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Well there you go, Sierra madre in California was my first guess, but seeing that the starting point for the dead money DLC is located on the eastern part of the map I began to doubt whether that was the case. Of course logic dictates it can only be THAT Sierra Madre, but my brainium queried why they'd have the start point where they did...

That was one hell of an underground tunnel that they built under that bunker! See, if they'd have spent more time defending HELIOS one instead of messing about with underground labyrinths then they'd probably still be the big Mojaves in the, er, big Mojave... 87.102.49.21 23:57, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

That last post was by me, for some reason I wasn't logged in, I'm guessing I was automatically logged out? This is tactictoe btw, just in case I get signed out again! Tactictoe 00:42, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

You all got it wrong the name Sierra Madre translates from Spanish to Mountain Mother. In 1948 the movie "The Tresure of the Sierra Madre". The movie depicts the story below:

Fred C. Dobbs and Bob Curtin, both down on their luck in Tampico, Mexico in 1925, meet up with a grizzled prospector named Howard and decide to join with him in search of gold in the wilds of central Mexico. Through enormous difficulties, they eventually succeed in finding gold, but bandits, the elements, and most especially greed threaten to turn their success into disaster

As you see the characters are in a similar predicament. Having lots of treasure there but having to deal with human natures to get out, very similar of the captives situation in the game and the casinos hidden treasure. Dreadfrost 17/07/2011
