im pretty close to the start of the game and im wondering where i can go to sleep and eat and drink constantly rather than searching for my stuff? is there a hotel or something? ive only discovered primm and goodsprings but i need to find a steady place where i can go to rest up

You can buy a house later on. You can buy or find food.

In one of the Primm army tents theres a sleeping bag to sleep in whenever you want.

Well. No. Theres not going to be one hotel that will be able to service your needs throughout the entire game. However, there will be *many* hotels, saloons, traders and bars that will be able to assist you, nicely placed amongst the decent selection of towns, rest stops and travelling merchants. Travel along the main roads and you'll rarely go long without seeing a friendly NPC who will trade with you or let you sleep in they're bed.
