I actually used to go to a path similar to this. Reach sloan, stick to the side of black mountain (i think that's what it's called? can't remember?) but not close enough to get attacked by mutants. Go in between there, and there are deathclaws that try to attack you but they can't reach you, since you have the high ground. Just fall down that hill later, Then run as fast as you can to REPCONN headquarters, and congrats; you're in Vegas.

I do this strat always, and also incredibly easy to pull off (did it with a lvl1, unarmed character lmao)

And now i realize i'm probably explaining the obvious :p i learned this strat myself and have no idea if there's some other one that people do that's similar to this

Yeah, it's a path common in challenge videos etc.

Sneak past the super mutants until the first curve on the road up Black Mountain, then head up the slope where the boulder falls down, jump down at the end of it and you're basically at REPCONN HQ already.

Neat, never knew that. Thanks

Nah this is the strat for sure. Combine with high luck and you're in New Vegas in under an hour after cleaning out the Freeside casino. Then I'm robbing the vangraffs energy weapons in the bathroom and I get bored and stop playing because I'm too prepared.
