The secret underworld of the las vegas strip.

in #story5 years ago

Lately I've been watching a lot of documentaries on the tunnels underneath the las vegas strip. Something about homeless and alternative ways of living in the underworld of what seems like the most brutally hot cities intrigues me. What is so crazy about these tunnels is they are water run offs so the city does not flood. People live under there in the darkness to escape the heat in the summer and by winter they do flash flood. Making it somewhat of a very dangerious place to setup "camp" There have been many people die down there risking staying under the Las Vegas streets away from some of the other troubles that are apparent there. Robbing, Murder, Rap, street politics. Check out some of the videos I have found on the subject on youtube...


Here's another video of the recent discovery of porn star Jenny Lee living down there.

All in all it seems like a very sad life below the glamour and glits of the las vegas strip. Such an eye opener to see such struggle right next to something so made up like Peoples success in the gambling world. Really proof how much bad comes from the addiction of gambling and not riches.

Cannot find the nightline episode that was done by lisa lynn for some reason I think youtube took it off or something.
