If they actually made it to California, the NCR would beat them so hard, it would make the First Battle of Hoover Dam look like a victory to the Legion.

Yes, and no. The NCR is an imperialist power, and needs to keep control of Nevada and New Vegas (especially the food from the sharecropper farms, and the energy from Hoover dam) to keep the metropolitan government going. They might kick Caesar's Legion's ass, but the cost to the NCR could be so great that it might be just a pyrrhic victory, with the NCR collapsing shortly without the continued flow of energy and resources into California. That's why they're putting everything on the line to defend Hoover Dam.
