She scrawled her last words, "LET GO", on the wall, and took an overdose of the chem cocktail which had both saved her from and caused so much pain already. The holograms massacred the guests, and Vera was trapped in her room, with only one way out. On the night the bombs dropped, the night of the Grand Opening, the casino locked its doors and its security systems activated. He did what he could and hoped that after the doors to the vault locked, the Sierra Madre broadcast, the casino's emergency signal, would bring help from the authorities and unlock the vault's treasure - Vera. Sinclair eventually relented, and attempted to return the casino to its original purpose, but this proved impossible - it had been built simply too well. But this knowledge blackened Sinclair's heart, and he turned the vault into a trap for Domino, making it impossible to leave so that he would have an eternity to contemplate his betrayal. Although he had long known of her and Domino's intentions, he had managed to bear that fact. Vera, eventually overcome with guilt, told Sinclair of the plot. What he did not know was that the addictions stemmed from her taking the drugs as pain relief, a refuge from a terminal illness. When she later started to get cold feet, he secured her assistance by blackmailing her with evidence of "indiscretions" and addictions to Med-X and super stimpaks.
But things are never simple: Dean had grown resentful of the other man and decided to take everything from him, and Vera had agreed to help with his plan. Vera's voice was the key to the casino's vault, specifically, the words "begin again" and "let go", spoken in her voice into a specific terminal in the casino would activate the elevator down into the casino's bowels.ĭean Domino, an old flame of Vera's, introduced her to Sinclair after seeing that she had caught his eye.
So he built the Sierra Madre, with its vault as the ultimate nuclear fallout shelter, for him and his love. Sinclair was no fool he could easily see the war on the horizon, and he wanted his love to be safe from it. Sinclair worshiped the ground she walked on, and built the casino as both a monument to her and a fortress to protect her. Of all the guests there, she had a special connection to the casino - she was the inspiration for its construction by its founder, Frederick Sinclair. Keyes was also one of the celebrities invited to the Grand Opening of the Sierra Madre Casino. Vera Keyes was the stage name of a well-known starlet before the War, starring in many poorly-written romance films, such as Love Sets Sail!, that drew in large box-office crowds, but poor reviews.
