Nuclear has your answer. Throwing us a couple of older pieces of furniture is usually about the only thing they do different in the vault for any Holiday event. NOW.. they may redecorate but to be perfectly honest I am not even sure they did that for St Patrick's day. Other than those two things its business as usual .. "Ya pays yer money and Ya takes yer chances!"
u can get the rainbow base item from the vault during St Patrick's event so it effects the vault drops
