The Vixen's Den is a speakeasy, styled after the illicit underground bars found in Prohibition-era America. I always wanted to try making a functional casino, and chose to give my first one an art deco outlaw theme that has a sort of “cozy basement” vibe.
This mod requires the Dead Money DLC to function.
The Vixen's Den is a dimly- but warmly-lit basement built primarily of brick, with wooden parquet floors. It is a largely-open space with few separations between the following areas:
Being the first thing patrons see as they enter, the stage is where the showgirls perform. Just in front of it are six tables where the audience can sit and watch.
Behind a locked door marked “Authorized Personnel Only” are two dressing rooms where the dancers presumably get ready. There is some low-level loot in the wardrobes and desks.
To the right of the main entrance are the restrooms. There is some low-level loot in the garbage cans.
The Vixen's Den features a Blackjack table, a Roulette table, and five Slot Machines.
The curved bar features beer taps and a panic button. Behind the bar is a shelf stocked with bottles, and the TV monitor and microphone that are presumably hooked up to the security camera and intercom outside.
Near the bar area are a series of alcoves, providing a more intimate setting for private conversations.

As the player character wins chips, they will be rewarded with increasingly-valuable gifts.
After the player character wins 5,000+ chips, they will be banned from playing games in The Vixen's Den. They can still use its other functions, such as the bar, and cashing out their chips, but they cannot win any more money.
Speaking with Renard and offering him 3,000 caps can get the ban overturned.
The entrance is located in Freeside, down the same blind alley where a group of thugs lures the player in and tries to ambush them. The door can be identified by the security camera overhead and the intercom to the side.
To enter The Vixen's Den, the player first needs to solve a puzzle and give the correct password. There are fifteen possible questions, and the player must answer three of them correctly in a row before the door is unlocked. There is a five-second timer on the door, meaning that if the player fails to enter in time, they will have to repeat the password puzzle.
A hint towards solving the puzzle can be found on the body of a dead local between the dumpsters at the back of the alley. The Cryptic Note reads: “That MATCH LAST night was some SILLY BULLshit!”
The capitalized words on the Cryptic Note indicate that the first syllable of the answer must match the last syllable of the question.
