Ultra - Luxe The Ultra - Luxe is a hotel and on the New Vegas Strip . It is run by the White Glove Society , a secretive group of gourmets and connoisseurs , some of questionable tastes . Background . The Ultra - Luxe is an establishment of incredible refinement that delicately conceals its operators ’ more questionable tendencies . Run by the White Glove Society , the Ultra - Luxe pampers its clients and provides The Strip ’ s most elite casino experience . A dress code is strictly enforced . All of the staff and family members are well - dressed , wellspoken , and well - behaved . The casino ’ s prime attractions are its meat - oriented restaurant , The Gourmand ; its cocktail lounge , Top Shelf ; and its art gallery . Roulette and blackjack are the only games offered . Layout . The building is divided into seven parts : Lobby and Casino . The Lobby and Casino area contains the lobby and casino . The highly fashionable bar , " The Top Shelf , " is also located in the entrance room that doubles as the casino . The drinks are overpriced , but that ' s the point . Mortimer can be found at the reception desk . The door to the cashier has an average lock . There are three metal boxes within the cashier area at the bottom of a shelf that hold your weapons and those of your two potential companions , and a variety of random and small loot in the other safes and containers . Kitchens . The basement kitchens of the Ultra - Luxe are accessible from the Members Only Area , where the door is unlocked , and The Gourmand , behind a door with an easy lock . The basement itself consists of a number of rooms , including Philippe ' s actual kitchen , the pantry , the locked freezer containing Ted Gunderson , an elevator back upstairs , and a wine room , containing a bottle of wine the player can spike with sedatives as part of the quest " Beyond the Beef " . The basement hallways are regularly patrolled by a small group of three White Glove Society members , two of whom will initially be seen at the bottom of the first set of stairs " roasting " brahmin with flamers . They will confront the player if the player is caught in the basement without honorary White Glove Society membership or a White Glove Society disguise , and will turn hostile if the player cannot pass a Speech or Repair check . The Gourmand . The Gourmand is a famous restaurant run by temperamental chef and White Glove Society member Philippe . The restaurant is renowned for its famous brahmin Wellington , and boasts a long waitlist , even though it usually seems sparsely populated . Gamblers , travelers and other Strip tourists found here will theorize the White Glove Society is more interested in maintaining the Gourmand ' s air of exclusivity than filling the restaurant , and are subsequently padding the waitlist and arbitrarily denying access to customers . This suspicion is commented upon by Mr . New Vegas on Radio New Vegas . Members Only area . The Ultra - Luxe Members Only Area consists of a large dining room , adjoining prep room , reception area , closet , and 10 - 12 members of the White Glove Society , some of which are armed with dress cane s and described as " bouncers . " The bouncers will be hostile towards the player unless the player has been inducted as an honorary member of the White Glove Society by , and subsequently been given a key to the rooms . An alternative is to obtain a key and White Glove mask , and wear this diguise before entering the Members Only area . An unlocked door in the prep area leads to the Ultra - Luxe ' s kitchens . Bathhouse . An indoor swimming pool converted into a bath house . It contains the steam room where the player can meet the investigator ' s contact during the Beyond the Beef quest . Interestingly , drinking the water from the bath house pool ( HP 2 , Rads 0 ) is considered theft , but harbors no Karma loss nor does it make anyone hostile . It is also stated that the salt in the bath is imported from California . Hotel rooms . Penthouse suite . Heck Gunderson is staying in this room , and has left several of his bodyguards here to watch the place . They will be hostile to the player , so killing them or sneaking past them is required to loot the suite . The Courier needs a key , held only by the receptionist Mortimer , to access the elevator to the suite . Mortimer can be killed or pickpocketed for the key . Alternatively , he can give the key to the player during Beyond the Beef in some paths through that quest . In the situation one does not possess a key , a Lockpick skill of 75 allows access . Once inside the player can see a small foyer leading to what appears to be a small guest dedicated portion of the luxury suite . Further inside the suite is quite grand and the ceiling is possibly the highest of all penthouse / presidential suites in New Vegas . In the middle of the large suite is a shallow pool and to the right is the dining room and kitchen . Upstairs is the master bedroom with a bar and the bathroom . Sleeping in the penthouse suite is impossible because the player does not own the beds . Bon Vivant suite . Access to the Bon Vivant suite is given to the player for winning 11 , 250 chips in the casino . It is located in the hotel room area and is not to be mistaken for the penthouse suite in which Gunderson is staying . The room is average for the Ultra - Luxe and includes two beds that the player may sleep in . Curiously , most of the room ' s contents ( containers , items , etc . ) are set as " owned " and register as stealing if opened or taken . Should the player acquire enough chips , the floor manager will offer increasingly valuable gifts , culminating in access to the Bon Vivant suite . Gambling . After the player earns 15 , 000 + chips , they are banned from playing games at the Ultra - Luxe . They can still use its other functions , such as the restaurant and cashing out their chips , but they cannot win any more money at the Ultra - Luxe . Like all other bans , this ban is permanent . Notes . Music . The piped - in music in the lobby and casino consists of the following tracks : Appearances . The Ultra - Luxe appears only in " " .
