Under the City of Lights, Hearts Break in the Shadows of Survival

Far below the glittering casinos and neon signs of Las Vegas lies a hidden network of flood tunnels stretching for miles. Nearly a thousand people including veterans, families, and those who’ve lost everything live in this secret underground world.

Inside the tunnels, they’ve built makeshift homes with old furniture, shelves, and even small decorations, turning darkness into a space they can call their own.

Some even say it feels calmer than the chaos of the Strip above.

Life down there is harsh and unpredictable, one sudden flash flood could destroy all they’ve built. Yet, despite the challenges, these resilient individuals have created a sense of community and survival beneath the city’s sparkle.

It’s a stark reminder: beneath the glitz and glamour of any city, there are untold stories of struggle, strength, and hope.
