Now that you've touched-base with Carlitos at the Vault 21 Hotel, you have to (frustratingly) leave the hotel and return to the Gomorrah, where you'll find Joana once again.

Keep that in mind moving forward if you want to pad your wallet a bit. And remember our pushover comment from a little earlier? We said that because you can rather easily get Caps out of Carlitos multiple times throughout this side quest. What to do? For the time being, you'll need to return to Joana to let her know that Carlitos wants to do what he can to help her escape without losing his own head. Meanwhile, the Omerta have a bounty on Carlitos' head, so he can't directly help her, either. Joana is bound to work for the Omerta, and she'll require Carlitos direct help to get out alive. Joana and Carlitos need to figure out a way to get her out of the Gomorrah without anyone being the wiser, and that's not as easy as it seems.

Carlitos is interested in reuniting with his lost love Joana, just as she is interested in reuniting with him, but it's not that simple. You can pick his brain about all sorts of subjects, but ultimately, you'll need to resort to talking about Joana to really pique his interest. When you finally locate Carlitos, you'll find that he's a bit of a pushover.

Feel free to speak to the woman named Sarah within if you need more help finding Carlitos in the labyrinthine interior of that gimmicky hotel. You can find him at the Vault 21 Hotel on the far end of the Strip. (Keep in mind that without a high Speech skill and Science skill, you may be out of luck with this side quest.) But ultimately, to help her, you'll need to agree to go speak to her friend Carlitos. You can even use your Science skill to out her on her drug addiction. Use your powers of persuasion to convince her that she can make it out of the Gomorrah alive, and that she can live a happy life thereafter (et cetera), which will require a good Speech skill. She's essentially a prisoner of the Omerta here at the Gomorrah, and wants to get out. When you're alone with her, you'll learn about her plight. She's afraid of saying anything out in the open, since the Omerta can easily eavesdrop on the conversation. When you speak with Joana outside, you'll be whisked away to her room.
