While the financial and economic crisis is raging in the country and millions of Americans are spending billions of dollars here in Sin City, right underground in Las Vegas, we found a very different reality. Come go down there with us!
On the streets of Vegas, you can see some of the most expensive hotels in the U.S. where the elite of American society burn millions of dollars during the crisis. However, we are going down into the underground life of this jewel of the planet…
My veins are full of adrenaline. In one of the tunnels of the Vegas drainage system, we found an entire underground camp of homeless people. Let’s see what they carry in their bags: a couple of needles, a tourniquet, a screwdriver, and marijuana.
The water reaches the ceiling in a couple of minutes. If it rains now, we are done for — this will be the last video of us you ever watch.
US Route 95 is right over our heads with cars rushing by, but no one knows what is under their wheels.
Now we are underground beneath Caesars Palace, one of the most expensive hotels in Las Vegas. Tourists up top do not even realize what they are standing on. There is an awful stench here! I would not survive here: bathing in this water or drinking anything like this. And without a shower every day — no, I could not do it. But it’s beautiful! Beautiful? Terrible dysentery is down here!
In these storm drains live people who did not survive the system or failed to fit into American society. They cannot and do not want to pay taxes, so they sink to the very bottom, where they can afford not to pay for a house or an apartment, those damn bills, and so on — completely withdrawing from the system, and in the end, a hell like this awaits them.
After going through seven circles of hell underneath Las Vegas, there is only one thing left to say: everything that seems brighter up top turns out to be a hundred times darker down here upon closer inspection — these slums, this filth, mud, stench, and the inhuman conditions in which these people live.
This is the other side of America. Stay tuned!
