Spoilers: This guide identifies the six vault locations listed for Fallout: New Vegas, but only Vault 21’s history is sufficiently established here for a detailed explanation. It distinguishes those in-game locations from Vault 24, which appears in a broader Mojave-region roster but is not established as explorable in the released game.
How many vaults are in Fallout: New Vegas?
The location index lists six vaults in Fallout: New Vegas: Vaults 3, 11, 19, 21, 22, and 34. A broader roster of vaults in the Mojave region also names Vault 24, but that does not establish Vault 24 as an explorable location in the released game. For a player asking which vaults to visit in New Vegas, the six-location list is the relevant one.

What happened in each vault?
Vault 3
Vault 3 is identified as a civilian-population vault in the broader Mojave region. The available information does not establish its later history, inhabitants, or fate in enough detail to summarize those events reliably.
Vault 11
Vault 11 is included in the game’s vault-location index. Its experiment and story are not established in the available information, so a specific account of its history would go beyond what can be confirmed here.

Vault 19
Vault 19 is a New Vegas location, and the search extract points to the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide as a source for its entry. The information available here does not establish the vault’s experiment or fate.
Vault 21
Vault 21 is in the Strip area. Its social experiment used games of chance to settle disputes. According to the source, the community remained stable until Robert House won the vault in a blackjack game in 2274; he then converted it into a hotel.

Vault 22
Vault 22 is a location in the Mojave. Its design drew on an earlier Fallout concept while developing a new story for New Vegas, and Jesse Farrell is identified as a designer associated with it.

Vault 34
Vault 34 appears in the game’s vault-location index. The available information does not establish its population, armory, or the quest decision associated with the vault, so those details are not summarized here.
