Part of Camp McCarran
The terminal building is the old airport terminal at the heart of Camp McCarran and the NCR's command center in the Mojave. Its foyer still has rows of dead slot machines in front of the reception desk, with a fighter jet hanging overhead. To the east are Colonel James Hsu's office and the Office of Science and Industry lab of Dr. Thomas Hildern and Dr. Angela Williams, and to the west is Captain Ronald Curtis's office.
Upstairs, Lieutenant Carrie Boyd runs the detention center and interrogation room, and the monorail to the Strip leaves from the left side. Only soldiers and VIPs may ride, so you need NCR armor, Boone at your side or a good NCR reputation. The jail holds an MP confiscated goods trunk that needs 100 Lockpick and contains magazines, doctor's bags and a super stimpak; finishing Boyd's The White Wash gets you its key. Around 122 caps lie scattered through the building.
How to get there
Walk through Camp McCarran's main gate and across the tent camp to the large terminal building.
