At least Fallout season 2 will be in New Vegas instead of the east coast

1 - The first season was already in the south west US, as with... every Fallout game not made by Bethesda.

2 - They are almost certainly going to retcon large elements of New Vegas' plot and world elements out of existence or into nonsense, as the first season already did with a whole bunch of shit.

They couldn't even put Shady Sands on the right spot on a map.

They already broke Mr. House's character and backstory by including him in that rountable corpo discussion.

His... and New Vegas' backstory in the game are based on House more or less hating all other corpo leaders, determing via statistical modelling that nuclear was was inevitable... and then doing everything he could to build a goddamned ICBM defense shield for Vegas.

He had to act solo precisely because he was kept out of the inner circle of corpos and gov high ups who were much more in the knoe, by the older canon.

But more fundamentally... House has spent almost 200 years looking for the platinum chip, because he was just a few days late in having it delivered, pre-apocalypse.

Why and or how could that possibly happen if he was in the meeting that decided to end the world?

New Vegas as a storyline is literally irreconcilable with the TV show already, its like shitty fan fiction.
