Around 400 people live inside the flood channels underneath Las Vegas and it’s such a fascinating underworld that is so different from the neon-lit indulgence and styrofoam extravagance that Sin City is known for. Matthew O’Brien has been visiting the community for 12 years and takes a tour of it in this video.
O’Brien, who is always helping the citizens beneath the neon through the Shine A Light community program, teamed up with Seeker Stories to make the video. Seeker writes:
