It's called "Lost Vegas" - people live in drains below Vegas
It's pretty crazy, but these urchins live under Vegas in drain tunnels and risk getting drowned in a big rain storm. I can't thing of a dicier way to gamble than that - Pun intended, I guess. It is estimated the population of the underground community could be as many as 700. As well as credit-hustling, they earn their money off the wildly excessive city above by begging and "dumpster diving" - raiding bins and skips.
Obviously you don't need me to tell you that it must be horrible to live in such a state. It's very ironic though, they live under a city that revolves around money. Interesting stuff, thanks.
" @Milkman said:Yeah, probably gamblers or hobos down on their "luck", or maybe drug addicts." What the fuck? Why? "Well, it probably doesnt cost much to live there "
"Only in America. "
I agree, you're not likely to find people living underneath the Las Vegas strip anywhere else.
Pretty insane. Was there an article or vid somewhere that inspired this thread? BTW anyone who finds this interesting should check out the film Dark Days, which is about homeless living in and under subway tunnels in NYC.
