The F3 world is built around points of light. You've got Nuketown, the aircraft carrier, the Brotherhood fort, the Towers etc, but they're operated by different groups that don't really interact with each other in a meaningful way.
NV is built around a narrative world. The NCR is coming from the west, the Legion is coming from the east and New Vegas represents a third powerful entity. Almost every settlement is defined by their relationships to these groups and it brings the world together.
The gameplay may be similar but the worlds are very different.
