GPS City Guide

Las Vegas is the most improbable city in America. A railroad stop in the Mojave Desert grew into the entertainment capital of the world through a collision of visionaries, outlaws, engineers, and entertainers. This tour takes you beyond the slot machines and into the real story: the Hoover Dam workers who needed somewhere to spend their wages, the mob bosses who built palaces in the desert, the Rat Pack who performed for Frank Sinatra's casino pals, the atomic tests that lit up the sky while tourists watched from rooftop bars, and the billionaires who tore it all down to build something bigger. Put on your headphones, start walking, and let Las Vegas show you who it really is.
