The Vault 
The inhabitants of Vault 131 opened their doors in 2015 to share the unique libations they spent the last 100 or so years perfecting. Each year we run a low waste facility in an immersive Vault-themed atmosphere.This year, that same talented team of entertainers will be bringing the party to the Hyatt! Running such an awesome party is no easy (or cheap) task, and the first year is always the most expensive. In many ways, this will be a first year, so we invite you to join our fantastic team of donors and volunteers to help make the party happen! We have some fantastic gifts you won’t want to miss out on!!

Some of Vault 131's hopes and dreams: 
Miraculously teleporting a survival habitat roughly 12 miles is no small feat, and unfortunately some of our equipment just won’t survive the journey or fit in our new space. We don’t want to upset our new overlords by getting an 8ft vault door stuck in their walls! This unfortunately means that the old vault door and diner booth are unlikely to make appearances at the Hyatt.

We will construct a new secure vault door befitting the space and be sure to provide seating for our weary travelers. The new dimensions of the space also requires additional insulating panels to ensure we remain the most immersive and radiation resistant of vaults. More space also means more lighting and our engineers will be hard at work expanding our electrical systems to support this.

After an unfortunate run-in with two trees who stole our stills last year (long story), we’re happy to announce that we’ve rebuilt and will be serving alcohol at the Hyatt. We’ve decided to change things up and will be offering all of our beverages as non-alcoholic first and allowing Wastelanders to pick their poison with one of our talented cocktail crafters. This means that we will be able to invite more Wastelanders to experience the best Vault-Tec has to offer but also that Vault 131 will no longer be exclusively 21+.

We intend to maintain our low waste policies in our new home and will be adding more reusable cups to help keep drink service quick and accommodate the extra guests we expect to host in the large space. We also intend to sort our other waste so that it can make it to recycling centers and/or compost piles.

We hope to bring back hot "dogs" for our wasteland wanderers after a one-year hiatus. Who doesn’t crave a little post-apocalyptic mystery meat during a night of carousing? As before, a set number of these will be available each night until we run out.

For years we’ve hoped to restore a terminaland allow our patrons the opportunity to play some of the many fun games we vault-dwellers enjoy. We are happy to announce that this is the year and construction has already begun!

Nothing says living the good vault life quite like day drinking! To that end, we’ll be offering a “secret” Bloody Mary bar Friday and Saturday. The exact timing for this will depend our staff managing to drag themselves from their cots and open the doors. Once the doors are open, the phrase “the bloody hour has begun” will be posted to our FB page. Like the hot “dogs,” we’ll go until we run out of supplies for the day (or the staff sink into oblivion once again.) We’ll have movies and/or games running while you enjoy your restorative libations.

Our dwellers are hard at work considering more tasks and creative improvements as we let our imaginations run wild and we prepare the make 2019 at the new location amazing. The limitations will be dependent upon our funding.

What do you get?

Let's face it; in the post-apocalyptic world, nothing (including help) comes for free. So, what will you get for your aid, in addition to our admiration and appreciation? We’re glad you asked:

The return of your favorite party room and watering hole! Goodies, ribbons, special privileges, and karma boosts. All donors receive our "Party Bringer" ribbon (pictured above). For the most generous supporters, you can count on the envy and admiration of your peers at your SPECIAL social status. Our goodies are works in progress each year and we will be providing updates with pictures of them as they come together.

This year we have three unique named characters available. Named characters receive a Fallout themed photograph of themselves mounted to our walls which stays up year to year. They are given an Early Access Pass to the bar for themselves and a guest (along with a SPECIAL button indicating this) and get to skip the line for beverage service. They will also receive bottle boy temporary tattoo, a collectible Vault 131 button, a Nuka-Cola bottle opener, and a 4-pc set of Vault 131 vault door coasters. These characters are:

• Overseer:

Our beloved overseer comes from a long line of wonderful leaders all of whom enjoy their picture mounted on our walls for all posterity. Thus far this has largely remained a family affair, but you never know when a usurper will arrive to supplant this noble lineage.

• Wasteland Baron:

Last year the Wasteland Baron made himself known and feared far and wide. This powerful outlaw has taken over a nearby plot of land and styled himself baron, expecting the utmost respect, and his demands had best be met! Thank goodness he mostly demands quick beverage service and minimal groveling. He’s the head of a gang of wasteland villains, and while he’s relatively new, we have suspicions that his title is given to the current gang leader. Maybe this year we’ll meet a Baroness? Either way, keep an eye out for the wanted poster and stay safe!

• Nuka-World Sweepstakes Winner:

Nuka-world is the place where dreams come true! This year they held a sweepstakes for a free trip to their joyful theme park. We’re so excited that a regular of our establishment won and was kind enough to send back a postcard of themselves enjoying their trip! We’ve hung it up with pride and can’t wait to hear all about their experience.

Each year we offer a special and limited gift tier for our beloved Survivors. This year we are having 5 special duffel bags made. They’re being constructed of waxed olive-colored canvas, leather bottoms, antique brass fittings, and get embroidered with one of the unique designs our team is known for. They’re currently being constructed so there are no finished images, but we will be posting updates on this as it progresses. This is Vault 131, where we do things right, so don’t worry that you’ll receive something like we heard Vault 76 tried to hand out.

Our t-shirts have become CVG cult favorites, and we know why! Each year we come up with a new design and have them printed on high quality shirts you’ll want to live in. We will be offering our patrons the opportunity to order our previous designs this year if you missed out (or wore yours out like some of us did), in addition the new 2019 design.

All perks will be available for pickup during open hours. For donors gaining pre-bar access, their packages will be available for pick-up an hour prior to official open. In some instances, shipping can be arranged.
