- benitojuarez, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7what are they talking about ive seen homeless on the walkways over the streets everytime i go to vegas. I even saw a guy shoot up right next to the elevator on the one by new york new york.
- Autodidaddict, on 12/05/2008, -1/+8This seems "cool" but it is actually really sad.
I'm a total libertarian. I don't think things like gambling and (most) drugs should be controlled by the government unless it's regulated fairly.
But you can't change human nature. Addiction, pain, loss, greed, hurt. These are all real. It's all brain chemicals, basic physiology.
I'm moving to Vegas in a few months. I Will have to learn more about these tunnels.
There are underground abandoned tunnels in every city. I've explored some in Chicago where I live now. A lot of ones near UIC got closed up after that incident a few years ago though. Got to be real careful and cautious though. - thedarkrabbit, on 12/05/2008, -1/+8I heard this on NPR today and I was just fascinated by it. How cool would it be to go to Vegas and, instead of gambling, go walk through the tunnels and meet the homeless!?!
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/05/2008, -0/+5Well, they try to make it like the real New York. They should also spread newspaper and trash in the hallways and hire some homeless people to sit around and piss on things at random.
- Deadpixel1221, on 12/05/2008, -0/+5Yes, we are rapidly developing our own mutant population in this city, what do you expect? Suicide booths haven't been invented yet.
- toastjam, on 12/05/2008, -0/+5So what happens when there is an actual storm?
- irishjays, on 12/05/2008, -0/+4Who is Edgar Friendly?
- Junior612, on 12/05/2008, -2/+5Jimmy Hoffa - is that you?
Smells like it could be you... - ferreth, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3You might enjoy this website: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/ ***** interface, but dig around some - the coolest hidden places in NYC, I particularly like the city hall closed subway platform: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/SUBWAYS/newcityhall/ne ...
- klij, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3i don't think it would be as cool as you think.
- JasonHilton, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3I saw the title, and was thinking an Ocean's 11 kind of thing...not the sewer.
- FrEaK40, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Yes they have, I'm giving my mom one for Christmas :)
- darkciti2, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2No thanks. I saw The Descent and I'm not going near any caverns or tunnels (unless they have a live band playing and some waitresses/waiters).
- hbyrne, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Pretty fascinating. Kind of like those folks who kayak the LA river. But could get pretty grimy, I'd imagine.
- triscuitbiscuit, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2If you like this kind of underground stuff, definitely check out Cities of the Underworld on the History Channel... They actually had a vegas episode a few weeks back. Really neat stuff that they explore...
- dravo2, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Something you won't see in the travel Brochures
- ATL, on 06/20/2009, -0/+2I second that
Flooding in Vegas is among the worst I've ever seen. If it rains in the mountains, it comes to the valley (especially the western mountains) - Eggzb, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2maps please.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2CHUDS!
- SuperCujo, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2I dunno about it being cool to see the dark side of society like that. It would certainly be an eye opener and a bit of a thrill, but not something I would call 'cool'.
- ThisCommentSux, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Err, it floods in Vegas. Even the smallest rain falls can cause a lot of water build up - the hard compacted desert floor doesn't allow for good water drainage. We had some heavy rains last week, many roads ended up ankle-thigh deep in water. That water has to go somewhere, hence the storm drains.
To answer the OP, I would imagine the tunnel dwellers would have to evacuate. - Visual77, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2I've lived in the Las Vegas valley since I was born and I've never heard of this. I want to see if I can spot some of the entrances. Unfortunately, it seems like its centered around the Strip, and as a Las Vegas native, I hate the Strip with every fiber of my being. It's nothing more than a huge north-south wall separating traffic on the two sides of town. I try to never find myself in that area... but if I happen to be there, I'd like to spot an entrance to this tunnel network.
- agentmedia, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1As long as you let the tourist come and watch you stare at a computer screen in a cube like structure for your 8 hour workday.
- axelgrease, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1the catacombs of las vegas....
- Peko, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Haven't seen it. Heard it's cool.
- coheedcollapse, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1ld kill to be able to get down there. How cool. Just recently I was exploring a tunnel system underneath a whole campus of abandoned hospital buildings. As cool as it was, I doubt it was anywhere near as cool as this place. So cool.
Anyone here ever seen the documentary "Dark Days"? - joshcxa, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2I dunno but he probably should prepare for simon phoenix
- dirtridr, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I gotta check this out next time I go to Vegas
- xptoast, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2I love outside of the box thinking. Tunnel exploring and talking to those who most do not talk to is interesting. Strange to most but much more entertaining than most things you can do for free. Going to the movies is way less entertaining than doing what he does. That is just awesome. I just wouldn't want shanked. I wonder if there is ever like hobo fights or anything like that down there. Maybe illegal animal fights or something. I wonder if you could have a semi civilized community exploiting the underworld for free living and escape from rules. That would be quite interesting.
- Ki77erB, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Great article. Thats pretty cool guy, bringing Thanksgiving dinner to those people in the tunnels and all. I guess its good to know there are some good people out there like that.
- omnithought, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I'm totally fascinated by old underground places. I'd love to explore these as well as the tunnels under New York and also the Portland shanghai tunnels.
- toastjam, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2So you're saying they built the storm drains for fun? :P
- coheedcollapse, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Not sure if that was a crack at my comment, but it's completely deserved. That's what I get for navigating away from the page halfway through making a comment. I tend to repeat myself. Dark Days is definitely worth a view though.
- d3designs, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Wonderful article. I especially like the audio rendition. It gives so much more depth to the story, when you hear the actual people talking rather than reading words.
- coheedcollapse, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Cool stuff, thanks for the link. I'll be digging through that for a while.
- enotswhat, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1here comes another CSI plot
- Kakumeikeahi, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I wish I could get a tour of that
- WiretapStudios, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Dark Days is pretty sad but ends on a great high note. The director actually lived down there for a month or two with them while shooting. DJ Shadow is on the soundtrack.
- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1A very good tour IDEA.
- SuperCujo, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1Have the mutations kept up with the lizard scum from LA? (Thanks Bill Hicks)
- yeahaboutthat, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1OJ? Is that you?
- CoD4, on 12/05/2008, -2/+1they actually have this as a level in rainbow six vegas 2
- lowdose, on 12/05/2008, -2/+1In Las Vegas? A storm?
- irishjays, on 12/05/2008, -4/+1Man did we go hoggin in new york new york, That irish pub, full of 5's and 6's ready to take you upstairs. Don't believe me? Let's Go!
