The South Vegas Ruins East Entrance is a gap in the rubble on the southwestern edge of the city, just west of the New Vegas Steel mill, leading into a maze of collapsed buildings and blocked streets. The ruins are Fiend territory from end to end, and the east entrance is the closest way in from Camp McCarran. Inside, it opens onto the central block, between the wrecked warehouse that holds the Vault 3 door to the south and Zapp's Neon Signs to the north. West and south entrances lead into the same ruins.
Driver Nephi, one of Major Dhatri's three targets in Three-Card Bounty, camps with a pack of Fiends in a burned-out building a short way south of this entrance, north of the Samson Rock Crushing Plant, so this is where you come to collect that head. Fiends here use automatic weapons and chems, and the broken streets of the ruins are full of ambush spots and dead ends. Bring a companion, work corner by corner, and expect heavy fighting. The payoff is good weapons, plenty of chems and a big cut of the Fiend problem around McCarran.
How to get there
From Camp McCarran head west past New Vegas Steel; the entrance is the gap in the rubble just north of Vault 3.
