the locations for the snowglobes is as follows

1) Goodsprings Cemetery
There's a snow globe sitting on one of the graves in the cemetery which overlooks your starting town. You can find this in the first 5 minutes of playing.

2) Old Mormon Fort
When you enter the fort, turn right and walk straight. You should find a doorway to a tower. Enter the door and walk upstairs. You'll find the snow globe sitting on a shelf.

3) The Strip (Vault 21)
There's a locked room in Vault 21 (accessible through the Vault 21 gift shop). The snow globe can be found inside

4) Test Site (Lucky 38)
Found in the Lucky 38 cocktail lounge, sitting on the counter of the bar.

5) Mount Charleston (Jacobstown)
As you walk into the Jacobstown lodge, it's located on the reception desk in front of you. Jacobstown is a hike, accessible by the winding road in the north-west portion of the map.

6) Hoover Dam
Found in the Hoover Dam offices, which is one of the buildings accessible from the top of the dam. Walk inside and it's sitting on the large reception desk.

7) Nellis Air Force Base
Located in the Nellis museum, sitting on one of the shelves. Getting to Nellis, however, will require some fast footwork.

you can sell each of the snowglobes to Jane, Mr. House's personal assistant robot for 2000 caps each.

The Snow Globe in the Lucky 38 can be a bit hard to find.
It is behind a cash register. When you exit the elevator, turn left en check the cash registers to the left of you to find it.

By k0ngzor on 20 Oct 2010 19:18

Yep yep. If you're having any trouble there are video guides for each globe here: http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2010/10/20/fallout-new....htm

By MissFuchsiaFire on 21 Oct 2010 06:41

You can definitely just pick the lock in vault 21. I did it yesterday.

By Rich Sips on 23 Oct 2010 04:37

The door wasn't even shut when I got mine. I just walked in and took it.

By Undead Immortal on 24 Oct 2010 14:22

I dont get why there are so many negative votes, this is pretty accurate. I found 3/7 without a guide and now I can get the rest!

By on 24 Oct 2010 16:52

Doominatorx6, I think a lot of people have issue with guides from people who aren't listed as having the achievement yet.

ForREVer, thanks for the guide. Might want to give credit to its source, assuming you're not Russ Frushtick.

By Scarae on 24 Oct 2010 17:12

the issue is that the guide is not that detailed. I found a MUCH better detailed guide then this one.

By on 24 Oct 2010 21:47

So are there any of these missable? Lol.
Like in fallout 3 there were some bobbleheads you could miss and not get again.

If I get banned from casinos for example would I not be able to obtain them All?

lX CaptHowdy Xl you don't have to be a prick

By Prof Hooblehof on 26 Oct 2010 01:41

Does the achievement unlock for just collecting them, or do you have to sell them before it will unlock?

By Buxfan02 on 26 Oct 2010 13:19

This guide is completely inaccurate! FoREVer, be more descriptive! Just pointing me in the right direction isnt enough!

Ex:
4) Test Site (Lucky 38)
Found in the Lucky 38 cocktail lounge, sitting on the counter of the bar BEHIND THE FIRST CASH REGISTER TO YOUR LEFT.

By UndertakerAndre on 26 Oct 2010 21:24

Wow some people like undertaker really suck!
Grow up. So quick to bash someones guide and be an asshole but yet I see no guides you made here. See where it says.... "think you can do better" I'd like to see you try that first instead of being a total asshat clown!

Upvote for me.... Ta really needs to slice these downvoters fingers and tiny balls off!

By on 27 Oct 2010 19:04

word of warning about this; SPOILER re mr house's future

don't kill mr house unless you have all the globes already given to jane, as she is no longer there when he dies. i've had a good look around the building and she's nowhere to be found and therefore i have nobody to give the globes to (just got one on the display cabinet)

By Lankey on 28 Oct 2010 18:11

I gave you a positive vote, but I do think it would be more helpful if for the Hoover Dam snowglobe you were more specific in that the door is actually labeled Hoover Dam Visitor's Center, not Hoover Dam Offices

By SashaQ on 30 Oct 2010 02:50

Does it unlock as you find the last one at hoover dam or do they have to be turned in and sold or something to Jane?

By ArthDent on 05 Nov 2010 16:14

I sold 2 til jane and then i killed mr house. after that i got the rest and I just DID NOT get the achievement. this sucks. now i have to make a new game. that will be my 4.th.

By SyllabicCash on 08 Nov 2010 14:02

I walked around Sarahs room forever and didn't see anything. I'm retarded. Good guide, but needs detail. If not I will make a better one once I have the achievement.

By WifelikeDrip on 21 Nov 2010 12:59

Personally i like this guide. Yes it's not very detailed but i don't mind for the simple fact that i like to try finding collectable items in games myself before i resort to guides. BUT. Even when i resort to guides, i prefer to get a rough location of where the collectable can be obtained rather then a precise location so i can search independantly for the item.

I have yet to start Fallout: New Vagas, i was simply on this guide to check to see if any of the snowglabes are missable (like in Fallout 3 with some of the bobbleheads) so i know i can safely progress through the game without fear of missing any.

By Unlikely Potato on 05 Dec 2010 09:13

Well, I too do not uncerstand the negative votes, I found this to be accurate enough. Thank you!

By on 06 Dec 2010 21:27

Yep, I liked the detail... or rather the lack thereof. But if it was plagiarized then that's not cool.

By Onza on 08 Dec 2010 19:08

I agree with SashaQ, it would be a good idea to correct the location of the Hoover Dam snow globe (visitor's center, not offices) so that others don't go on a wild goose chase like i did until I checked a different solution. Otherwise good

By Bryce MC on 29 Dec 2010 17:03

If you are going to take the time to write a solution, do it right. Describe the exact location, any tips for reaching that location (such as Sarah's room in Vault 21 or Nellis), and include any other relevant facts. Granted, some people may enjoy a vague description, so make your current guide the titles of each location in your solution but then include the specific descriptions under each location.

By M1 462 on 04 Jan 2011 18:23

So I believe, post patch, that you no longer need to turn them in... I just got the achievement when I picked up the last one in jacobstown, without having turned in two of them

By xFallenCastielx on 14 Jan 2011 23:03

Do you need to hold them all or can you sell them as you find them?

Thanks in advance. TT

By TimTaiwan on 11 May 2011 07:01

There is a very annoying glitch with Lucky 38 Snowglobe.... If you kill Mr.House, you'll not get access to Cocktail Lounge, but Penthouse and President suite will work... This happen in my case, have to restart game to get that %$"# achievement :((

By ZhuleCRO1985 on 12 Oct 2011 00:12

I dont understand why people have to complain about this guide. I havent gotten all of the globes yet but i just read the guide and i like it. Would it hurt someone to just look around for the globes instead of being given the exact location. I like this guide because it gives the general locations to look in.

By Wakko Hedgehog on 13 Apr 2012 21:10

good brief but more detail on the lucky 38. took me ages to find it hiding behind cash register. thanks for help

By JamesLCC on 10 May 2012 12:43

Thanks for not saying that you only get the cocktail lounge if you agree with Mr House. I have them all but one and have to restart. This guide is simple and can be in the wrong direction. -1

By Games Master on 23 May 2012 12:22

I'd agree that more detail could be useful and mentioning what your choices with Mr House can to do disable the achievement but I do feel some people are being way too critical.

By boldfoxrd on 09 Aug 2012 19:59

Well first Of all if you NOOBS saved your game before every major event you wouldn't have an issue. I had about 180 saves by the time i completed the game.

Honestly Learn to use saves.

By on 09 Aug 2012 20:08

@CounterInsurgnt. How id you have 180 saves when you can only have a max of 100 sves? O.o

By deutschZuid on 10 Feb 2013 19:58

That's exactly what I was thinking, @deutschZuid.

By cyrodilicbrandy on 22 Feb 2013 12:28

The save numbers increment themselves. You could use all 100 slots, but the total number of saves could be much, much higher if you repeatedly save over the same slot.

Also, there appears to be snow globes in the DLC areas. I found one in OWB and another in Honest Hearts. The one in HH is in the Gift Shop (by the register, iirc) that you have to go to, to get some stuff for a quest. I believe the one in OWB was in The Sink, but I could be wrong on that one. They give an immediate 2000 caps without having to be sold to Jane.

By Rhyolitic on 05 Mar 2013 02:11

This game was very screwed up on release. So much that I stopped playing it. Good news though, it works now! I just got the cheevo. Mr. House was already dead, I havn't any globe stand, and I can access the cocktail lounge of the 38 even with House dead. I merely had all 7 globes in my possesion. Im not sure if selling them as you go matters, but I doubt it. Thumbs up cause you caught so much grief over a broken game.

By Solo P3T3R on 10 Jul 2013 06:23

If you kill house before you get the cocktail lounge globe, you are fucked, thanks for the info.

By PointySpred on 15 Feb 2017 17:41

I don't know how it worked back in the old days, but here in 2019, you don't have to turn the snowglobes in to Jane for the achievement (just for the caps). The DLC ones aren't required for the achievement at all.

By Lt Davo on 17 Dec 2019 00:09

At the Repcon site there is no globe.

By WTG x RoCK STaR on 06 Jul 2021 23:47

Coulda used a BIT more info for the Vault 21 one...

By Oncogene27 on 21 Jul 2022 21:53

Wow, it was even worse than I thought. The door wasn't even locked. It was wide open. No wonder I couldn't find it.

For anyone who needs ACTUAL directions for the Vault 21 snow globe, just open the minimap. Look at the far northeast corner. Ignore the long vertical corridor but to the left of that you'll see a square room. To the upper left of that, you'll see a rectangular room. That's the room you want.

By Oncogene27 on 21 Jul 2022 22:10

Anyone else noticed that Fallout: New Vegas isn't appearing on peoples xbox achievement lists? or is it just me

By XoSPENCERoX on 19 Aug 2022 21:28

Yea I noticed it wasn't appearing just recently

By jipyTheCrusader on 03 Sep 2022 05:36

Edit to #6, the globe is inside the Visitor Center, not the Offices.

By Aviator Mage on 14 Dec 2022 23:48

When you go for #3, do NOT forget to save after EVERY DOOR. For some reasons, the game sometimes doesn't load Vault 21 at all on Xbox.

By J BlacksadFR on 29 Dec 2022 17:39

@ZhuleCRO1985 I think the issue you mentioned was fixed or was some other glitch. I had killed Mr. House and was still able to access the Cocktail Lounge. I can't sell the orbs, but it didn't impact my ability to get the achievement one bit. I collected all 7 (including the one in the Cocktail Lounge) after his demise.

Up vote from me, but I completely understand the criticism. I needed a video guide to help fill in this one. I am surprised, there's a lot of anger towards the guide and towards those who want a better version. Curious how this site has gotten. First anyone who voted negatively would get attacked for not explaining what needed to be improved. And now when clear areas for improvement are given, those users are still attacked. Maybe comments and voting should just be eliminated entirely so the community can get along!

By Sneaky G Wizard on 28 Dec 2010 15:34

do you unlock the acheivement after picking the globes up or do you have to take them to jane in lucky 38?
Does this mean that i will have to keep house alive in order to do this? please reply

By Apache 117 on 09 Jan 2011 13:31

to Apache i forget been long time but you can still get it even if you kill Mr.House because all robots stay there in the lucky 38 and jane still takes them and gives you caps. And reply to Daaid hover dam is on there 2:40 in dude
