The Westside is a district of New Vegas, located west of the New Vegas Strip. Though it is one of the poorer residential areas of the city, it houses its own militia and considers themselves apart from the city. Westside became more or less self-sufficient, growing its own food and maintaining its own water supply. The residents often complain of problems with the Fiends, who often harass and even kill them in constant raids. A smaller gang, the Scorpions, also have a large presence and are situated around the southern outskirts.
