“I've heard people passing through mention some kind of underground fights pitting creatures of the waste against one another for sport. And when I say "underground", that's their word I'm using, not my own.”— Rotface
棘刺城是位於新維加斯西區南部大門的地下定居點。牌子上的箭頭指向下水道口，也就是棘刺城的入口。棘刺城的主要賣點來自於競技場，你可以參與賭博，甚至可以親自參加到決鬥中來。凌晨1:00至6:00棘刺城不對外開放。
布局[]
棘刺城的主體是一座巨大的競技場，四周環繞著供警衛以及觀眾行走的懸空通道。競技場旁的籠子里關著瑞德•露西飼養的各種廢土生物。
如果願意的話，你可以通過與瑞德•露西交談來開始自定義決鬥；生物的種類和數目可以自行選擇。由於廢土生物的飼養開支過高，你需要對決鬥付費。如果賭贏了，就可以要回自己的瓶蓋，還能獲得很小的一筆獎金。要開始戰鬥，只需對瑞德•露西說「跟我說說棘刺城」，隨後選擇「下一場誰和誰干？」。
你也可以告訴瑞德•露西，你想要親自參加一場決鬥。可以對抗的生物有：火蜥蜴，巨型螳螂，輻射蠍，夜梟，大毒蜂，以及死亡爪。選擇好生物的種類和數目之後，屏幕會漸暗，主角也會被移動至競技場籠中。獎金的數目取決於對決生物的種類和數量。玩家可以面對的最強對手是3隻死亡爪。若希望在競技場內與更強的生物決鬥，需要提前送來此種生物的卵。

註釋[]
- The cage areas of the Thorn may be used to gain XP, by shooting the imprisoned animals through the cage doors. Although you will not be able to loot their bodies, you risk nothing in the fights. It's basically a shooting range - all you lose is your ammunition.
- 完成「流干我的血」任務後，玩家可以與瑞德•露西「探討私人問題」，無視性別。
- 如果在競技場內夜梟消失之前快速搜查它的屍體，你會找到狗皮和狗肉，而不是夜梟的血與尾巴。
- 競技場內不推薦使用傷害範圍過大的爆破武器，濺射傷害可能導致觀眾的敵對。
- 決鬥仍在進行的時候，若跳入競技場，會導致保安的敵對。然而，如果殺死所有保安，並不會引起觀眾和瑞德•露西的敵對。
- 如果玩家的隊友中包含ED-E，它可能會在決鬥中幫助玩家攻擊敵對生物。這不會導致保安及觀眾的敵對。
- 玩家進入競技場參加搏鬥時，隊友會自動原地等候。離開時記得重新下達跟隨指令。
- 決鬥時，布恩的perk可以幫助你看到競技場對面黑暗處的敵對生物。
- Occasionally, Fiends may be pitted against radscorpions, giant radscorpions, nightstalkers, or cazadores.

Bug[]
Sometimes when fast-travelling and then entering The Thorn, a Fiend may appear out of nowhere and attacks the player.- ED-E will get stuck in the pipelines of the ceiling, requiring you to send him home or to the Lucky 38.[已验证]
- 棘刺城內跳出桌面非常嚴重，尤其是在場內決鬥的時候。[已验证]
- 打敗場內的生物後，門會開啟以使玩家離開；有時所有的門會突然關閉，此時只能藉助控制台離開競技場。 [已验证]
- When fighting any number of cazadores or deathclaws, the creatures may turn on each other, stinging/clawing each other to death. The doors will not open after they are dead, leaving you trapped in the arena. Also, the fight never ends when fighting one deathclaw, the doors do not open, and you are trapped forcing a reload.[已验证]
- 選擇多個參加決鬥的生物後，籠門會打開，兩邊的生物隨後會走向競技場中央。但是，不是所有情況下他們都能走到可以觸發搏鬥的「正確地點」，反而會卡住不動。如果玩家試圖跳入競技場將生物推向正確地點，則會引發守衛的敵對。此種情況下，離開棘刺城，等待數小時後返回即可修復此BUG。另一種解決方法是在潛行狀態下使用消音武器殺死其中一隊，使用隱身小子將會有所幫助。 [已验证]
- When entering the arena and going to fight the door may open but you cannot get through it. An invisible wall will block your path. You can however get through it by crouching then jumping or just walk forward and keep jumping.[已验证]
- Choosing to fight in the arena may cause any current followers to go missing.[已验证]
- When using a Plasma or laser weapon type, and disintegrating enemies into goo/ash, the goo/ash will not disappear immediately like corpses would.[已验证]
- 進入戰鬥區域之前可能輕易走出大門。[已验证]
- 有時敵對生物會在門關上之前退回門內，此時戰鬥無法結束，玩家也無法離開競技場。This prevents the battle from being completed, and so stops the courier from leaving.如果足夠幸運的話，生物的一部分（例如輻射蠍的前肢）會穿透鐵門，此時可進行攻擊。進行戰鬥之前推薦存檔 and not to use explosives on creatures from a distance before they get free as this can throw them back through the door or possibly hit spectators, which will turn them hostile. Though to avoid this altogether the player can hug the right wall of the arena and go around the column (next to the exit gate) to approach them so that they will be too close when engaged in combat and will not run away.[已验证]
- 黑屏之後玩家可能不會被傳送到競技場，反而會留在原地，露西也會拒絕交談。[已验证]
- When two creatures start to fight they can disappear thus resulting in Red Lucy refusing talking to you, plus you lose the bet.[已验证]

- When talking to Red Lucy on the stairs closest to the main entrance, especially following a match against creatures, your partner can get stuck as if you told them to wait. When you tell them to follow you again, they run down into the arena and start running against a flaming barrel.[已验证]
- After completing Bleed Me Dry and thus collecting all of the eggs required, the Strip can become inaccessible. The player can no longer enter The Strip, as a "Requires Key" message under the usual "Enter The Strip" message is present. This can be fixed if you have completed the quest I Put a Spell on You in Camp McCarran or if you have a reputation higher than neutral with the NCR and ride the monorail from Camp McCarran to the NCR Embassy on The Strip. Traveling to Freeside without fast-travel will fix the bugged Strip door, no longer needing a key. However, if you have not passed the credit check for the Securitrons they will attack you once in Freeside. This can be done as many times as needed.[已验证]
- When visiting The Thorn's cages, do not attempt to kill caged creatures using melee or unarmed attacks and V.A.T.S. Otherwise, you may end up inside the cage, with no way to exit except by reverting to an earlier save.[已验证]
- When you place a bet on a fight they don't fight with each other, this leaves you unable to talk to Red Lucy and you can't win the bet.[已验证]
- When fighting 3 deathclaws, they may get stuck behind the door and the match will not end.[已验证]
- If you fight three deathclaws and win, all the doors may remain locked and will say "Requires key" and you will be unable to leave the arena.[已验证]
- If you fight three radscorpions and win, all the doors may remain locked and will say "Requires key" and you will be unable to leave the arena. This leaves no option but to reload a previous save each time.[已验证]

- When in the arena, if you talk to Red Lucy and ask what fight is next and she tells you something and cazadores they both might not attack each other. When you talk to Lucy she tells to wait til the fight is over.[已验证]

- If you ask to fight and attack Red Lucy after the dialogue closes and the screen starts to blacken, she will become hostile, and then neutral again after the fight commences. [已验证]
