The Dino Dee-lite Motel is an unmarked location within Novac in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
A fixture along the route of Highway 95 since before the Great War, the Dino Dee-Lite catered to tourists and travelers, with Dinky the T-Rex serving as a roadside attraction.[1] After the nuclear apocalypse, the motel survived intact but sat vacant for years until the town of Novac was founded around it, taking its name from the broken motel sign by the entrance.[2][3] By 2281, Jeannie May Crawford serves as the motel's proprietor and takes pride in Novac's small-town appeal.
Layout[]
Situated in the center of Novac, the Dino Dee-lite complex has both a motel and gift shop.[1] A courtyard is situated in the middle of the buildings, where Novac settlers can be found walking or sitting on the ground. The dinosaur houses the motel's gift shop as well as a sniper nest in the dino's mouth.[4][5] The main building is the front desk, which contains the Mojave Express dropbox and serves as the office from which motel rooms are rented. Outside of the entrance to the front desk is the sign displaying the town's name.[3]
Next to the main building's entrance is a gate into a fenced-in area containing the motel rooms and bungalows. Several individuals live in the motel rooms, including Daisy Whitman, Bruce Isaac, Manny Vargas, and Craig Boone. Two of the motel rooms are vacant, and entrance to the room as well as items found within are marked to owned. The second floor of the motel, from left to right while facing the building, contains the player home, a vacant room with a twin bed, Bruce Isaac's room, and Daisy Whitman's room. The first floor, in the same fashion, has Manny Vargas' room, a vacant room with a queen-sized bed, and Boone's room. All other rooms are boarded up and inaccessible.
One can rent one of the motel rooms from Jeannie May for 100 caps; alternatively, if one has an Accepted or higher reputation with Novac, she will give it to them for free. If Jeannie May is killed (either independently or as part of One for My Baby), then Cliff Briscoe will give them the room key.
Notes[]
While the Dino Dee-lite Motel has windows along its back wall (which No-bark Noonan will sometimes peer into), none of the motel rooms have corresponding windows on the inside.
Appearances[]

The interior of "Dinky" also serves as the city center (a converted gift shop from pre-war times, with a sniper's nest in Dinky's mouth). Dinky is the "attraction" that drew in tourists."

There are actually "Vacs" and for 100 Caps, you can lease a room right here, in the attached block, for as long as you like. Jeannie May is also a party of interest in Side Quest: One For My Baby. You can obtain a key to the floor safe behind the counter if you Pickpocket (or kill) her.
