Italian or anyone, is the Vangraff's store operational?

Well we're going with the presumption that our Courier made basically moral choices, so~

1. Mr. House canonically has the Courier blow the hell out of the bunker at Hidden Valley, destroying the last vestige of the Brotherhood's Presence in New Vegas.

2. Considering the SNAFU with Veronica, blowing up the Bunker does not necessarily preclude the possibility the Courier went there either independently or with Veronica before House instructed them to get their boom on.

3. Elder McNamara ultimately had good reasons for sending out the Survey Teams and maintaining the Lockdown, but at no point in the game is there a way to get him to reveal what that reason is or to lift the Lockdown prior to recording the survey Holotapes.

4. The Courier, thus, may or may not have ousted McNarmara and assisted Hardin in becoming Elder. This is the logical choice if one presumes the Courier had only retrieved one holotape before arriving.

5. Hardin instructs the Courier to murder the hell out of the VanGraffs.

6. The VanGraffs are assholes and everybody hates them. My memory is faintly fuzzy on the matter but I believe you actually gain karma for killing them all.

7. Regardless of the outcome, the Courier still kills everyone in the Hidden Valley Bunker.

So whether the Silver Rush is up and running is up to debate,
