Get out of here, gamers! No, seriously! Take a trip just outside the Vegas Valley to the 111-year-old historical landmark, Pioneer Saloon, for some post-apocalyptic partying during its Fallout Fan Celebration on Nov. 16-17. Even total noobs will recognize the low-key locale as one of the first settings in the popular video game Fallout: New Vegas, and they’ve got two full days of fun lined up for fans.
Admittedly, it’s a bit of a haul to get out to Goodsprings, but for an event like this it’s well worth the trip. First of all, it’s free! And you’ll get to peruse a variety of vendors, sip and snack on thematic treats, meet and greet with superstars in the fandom, and listen to live renditions of music from the Fallout franchise.
First-day highlights include the 1 p.m. Mojave Wasteland bus tour, which takes you away from the main event to see other landmarks and locations from the game. Also, don’t miss karaoke with DJ Trespass at 6 p.m., and stick around a bit later for the 8 p.m. Q&A and airing of fan film Fallout: Nuka Break with actor Zack Finfrock.
The fun continues on day two with a Q&A and workshop featuring Chris Barnardo of The Wand Company, which creates all kinds of neat collectibles. And, of course, make sure you enter the costume contest or Fallout trivia for a chance to take home cash and prizes.
