==Notes==
* Mr. House reported that defense systems disarmed or destroyed 68 of the 77 incoming nuclear warheads, but the note states all were "defeated."Courier: "What preparations did you make to save Las Vegas?"Robert House: "On the day of the Great War, 77 atomic warheads targeted Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and its surrounding areas. My networked mainframes were able to predict and force-transmit disarm code subsets to 59 warheads, neutralizing them before impact. Laser cannons mounted on the roof of the Lucky 38 destroyed another 9 warheads. The rest got through, though none hit the city itself. A sub-optimal performance, admittedly. If only the Platinum Chip had arrived a day sooner..."(Robert House's dialogue)
* When Caesar is informed that House is dead, he says that he already knows and states that he read House's obituary.
==Behind the scenes==
The note pays homage to Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita by saying "House was orphaned at an early age when his parents died in a freak accident (auto gyro, lightning)." In Lolita, the main character Humbert nonchalantly mentions the death of his mother by saying "My very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when I was three."
