Snowglobes are a collectible item that you can give to Jane, a securitron located in the Lucky 38, for 2000 caps each. Turning them in will also add them to the stand located in the Lucky 38 Presidential suite. This guide will only focus on the snowglobes in the base game.

Here are a couple of quick tips before you go off to collect the snowglobes:

• 7 snowglobes in the base game. There are a total of 7 snowglobes located in the Mojave wasteland, with one more in each DLC.
• Some are in quest-locked locations. Some of the snowglobes, most notably the ones in the Nellis Air Force Base and The Strip, are locked behind certain quests or behind faction reputation. 
• Progressing too far can make it impossible to hand them in. If you progress too far in the NCR, Legion, or Yes Man storylines, you will lose the ability to hand the snowglobes in. 

Goodsprings

To get the Goodsprings snow globe, travel to the Goodsprings cemetery, located North of Goodsprings, just up the dirt path from the Prospector’s Saloon.

The snow globe is at the northern end of the cemetery, in front of a wooden gravestone, among a small pile of rubble.

Hoover Dam

For this snow globe, make your way to the Hoover Dam, and NCR outpost located to the east of Boulder City.

Once there, enter the lobby of the Hoover Dam building. The entrance is a double door to the right of the fast-travel spawn point.

Once inside, you’ll see the snow globe right in front of you, sitting on the lobby desk.

Mormon Fort

Enter Freeside through its northern gate. The entrance is located directly west of the New Vegas Medical Clinic.

Once there, you’ll see a large fort with a massive wooden gate as an entrance on the left side of the street. Approach it and enter.

Once inside, immediately turn right. You’ll see the entrance to a tower located in the corner of the wall. Enter it through the small wooden door.

Once inside the tower, turn left

You’ll see a set of stairs leading to the second floor. Use them to climb to the next floor.

The snow globe is on a shelf next to a desk fan.

Mt. Charleston

Make your way to Jackobstown, a friendly Super Mutant town located in the northwest corner of the map.

At the back of the town is a large lodge. Approach it.

In the center, there is a wooden double door, enter the lodge through it.

You’ll see the snow globe sitting on a desk directly in front of you.

The Strip

This snowglobe is by far the most difficult to get, as it involves doing one of 3 things:

• Finishing the “Suits You, Sarah” unmarked quest. This is done by giving Sarah Weintraub, located in Vault 21, 30 vault jumpsuits.
• Pickpocketing a Passcard from Sarah Weintraub.
• Lockpicking an average-locked door (Lockpick skill of 50 or more required).

Make your way to the southernmost part of the Strip, where the NCR Embassy and the Vault 21 Gift Shop are located.

The Vault 21 Gift Shop is a small building with a glass door with a glowing “Vault 21” sign. Go inside.

You’ll find yourself inside the gift shop. Here, you can speak to Sarah Weintraub to give her the vault suits to gain access to the suite, or you can pickpocket the passcard to her room from her inventory.

Once you have a means of getting to Sarah’s room, you can continue by going to her room.

To do this, go through the door at the back of the gift shop. 

That door will lead you to a room with a metal staircase leading down the Vault. Go there.

Take the stairs down until you enter an open hall.

Take the doorway opposite to where you enter the room from, and walk down the stairs you’ll see there.

Down the stairs, there is a large atrium. Turn to the left immediately. You’ll see a doorway leading to a hall.

The correct room you need to enter is the last door in that hallway, on the left.

Lockpick the room or use the passcard you got from Sarah, enter the room. You’ll see two beds inside. The snow globe is on a small bedside table between the two beds.

Nellis Air Force Base

In case you haven’t unlocked the Nellis Air Force Base yet, follow the tutorial here.

Make your way to the Nellis Hangars. Located north of the entrance to Nellis.

When you look to the right of the fast travel point to the Nellis hangars, you’ll see a set of 3 barracks by the fence, approach them.

The rightmost building is the Boomer Museum. Go inside.

The snow globe is sitting on a table to the right of the entrance.

Test Site

This snow globe is located inside the Lucky 38, inside the Cocktail Lounge.

The Lucky 38 is located in the first part of the strip, just beyond the Strip’s North Gate.

The Lucky 38 is the tallest building on the strip, shaped like a roulette spinner. It’s to the left of the entrance to the Strip.

Head inside through the massive set of doors. If it’s your first time going in, you may need to talk to Victor, a securitron.

Once inside, take the elevator to the Cocktail Lounge. If you can’t, it means that you need to go to the Penthouse and talk to Mr. House for a while. After that, the Cocktail Lounge should become available.

From the Cocktail Lounge elevator, take the first right to go behind the bar. 

Go around approximately one-third of the bar. The snow globe will be behind one of the cash registers.
