Production was temporarily halted in January 2025 due to wildfires in California, delaying filming for several weeks. [8] By late January, leaked set photos showed a prop model of Dinky the Dinosaur’s head from Fallout: New Vegas. [9]

In February 2025, a section of the Valley Plaza mall in North Hollywood was transformed into the New Vegas Strip, with signage for locations including the Ultra-Luxe, Vault 21, and the Lucky 38 casino. [10] [11] Additional leaks in March 2025 depicted interior sets of Camp McCarran and signage referencing Mr. House, along with depictions of pre-war settings.
