Forty million people visit Las Vegas every year, chasing the lights, the luxury, and the legend. Almost none of them know what's buried underneath Sin City.

This is the real story of how a dusty railway stop in the Nevada desert became a hundred-billion-dollar empire — built on a six-million-dollar mob gamble called the Flamingo, fueled by Bugsy Siegel's ambition and Rat Pack glamour, taken from the mafia by Howard Hughes, and rebuilt by Steve Wynn's billion-dollar bets that turned "kitsch" into "class." But the empire has a darker side most tourists never see. Beneath the five-hundred-dollar suites sits a 200-mile tunnel network where thousands quietly live. And as Lake Mead dries up, water isn't the only thing the desert is giving back.

Is Vegas still the land of dreams, or has the desert already started taking it back?
