There's a sign in the windows of one of these buildings asking people to stop asking about lottery tickers, as they didn't sell the lottery there. I dunno what Nipton was like before it was largely abandoned so that could be incidental, but I can't help but imagine the locals got annoyed by Fallout fans lol
Honestly, standing in the ghost town of Nipton with one of my besties, just the two of us and fucking nothing else for untold miles and miles, it was a weirdly sobering experience. This was once a place, with people, who formed many memories here - and now it's basically completely abandoned. Just felt kinda bad for the place, really.
