The Nipton houses are unmarked locations within Nipton in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout
There are a total of eight intact houses scattered around Nipton.
Inside house #4 with the sandbags in front, four frag mines can be found, one each in the living room corner, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Both the kitchen and the bedroom doorways conceal rigged shotgun traps. There is an Easy locked safe with a grenade rifle in the bathroom, but if the pressure plate in the bathroom doorway is triggered, the three bark scorpions in the living room cage will be released. The kitchen contains an Average locked cabinet with some provisions, as well as a dead Legion recruit with a machete, armor, and helmet.
In house #7 to the southeast of the town hall, a prototype Mister Gutsy can be found which can, if killed, respawn after about three in-game hours as another Mister Gutsy variant. The house also contains a few damaged weapons, including two .357 Magnum revolvers, a plasma pistol, and a laser rifle. The house also has various metal/electronic parts and items needed for crafting weapon repair kits, including wrenches, scrap metal, wonderglue, and duct tape.

- One Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - In house #2, on the bookshelf next to the Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle in the bedroom.
- A larger than usual red plate - House #3, taking the plate and dropping it once will keep it the same unusual size, but picking it up and dropping it again will cause it to become a normal-sized red plate.

Behind the scenes
 | The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |
|---|
- In front of the house #6 adjacent to the east of the town hall, the charred skeletal remains of two people named Owen and Beru can be found. This is a reference to a famous scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, in which Luke Skywalker returns home to find that his uncle and aunt, Owen and Beru Lars, have been incinerated in a similar fashion by stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire.
