‘Fallout’ season two recreated the pre-war Las Vegas Strip largely with physical sets rather than relying on visual effects. Production designer Howard Cummings converted an abandoned San Fernando Valley shopping mall into a retro-futuristic version of New Vegas, reflecting the setting of the game ‘Fallout: New Vegas’.

The former Regal cinema was redesigned as the Gomorrah casino, while the production built a 27-foot Lucky 38 Resort and Casino sign. The Lucky 38 penthouse control centre used 3D-printed LED monitors, real footage and vintage televisions; after filming flashbacks, the crew distressed the sets with dead palms, wrecked cars and sand for post-war scenes. Freeside was filmed at an Old West town set in Santa Clarita, with buildings refaced and some elements added digitally.
