- In this episode of Streets by Vice we head to Las Vegas, Nevada and delve into life beyond The Strip by way of Charleston Boulevard, the city’s longest street running east to west.
Charleston Boulevard spans the length of the city’s surprising and unique history. In the suburbs on the east end of Charleston you might come across a few Mormons, who were some of the first people to settle in Vegas. On the west end of Charleston you will find relics of the casinos established by the Chicago Outfit, aka the infamous Italian mob. Without the influence of these groups some say Las Vegas would look more like a truck stop than the glittering city it is today.
While Vegas is widely known for The Strip's extravagant parties and countless pleasures, there’s a culture and community growing off of the Strip for the locals who call this desert oasis their home.
In the downtown area of Charleston Blvd a wave of entrepreneurs are establishing new businesses, providing jobs, and generating more activities and attractions for the local community. This kind of progressive development is drawing more people to lay down roots in the city, and is changing the popular mindset of Las Vegas as just a place to “get away.”

Coming from a person who is born and raised here, I'm shaking my head over this! So many inaccuracies.
Allison Hosier I just moved here in Jam and stayed off charleston my first few months. This is very innaccurate
Make your own video then and stop crying nerd
"Let's talk about the locals!"
*Doesn't talk about locals*
They didn't mention anything about the neighborhoods like Summerlin, paradise valley, etc;
“At the Mandalay Bay, just south of Charleston Blvd..”
Yeah just south give or take 11 miles and 25 minutes of strip traffic smh 🤦♀️
😂😂😂
Megan Duffy Shut the fuck up. This is my home and I don’t need you freaks here!
11 miles can be a long way depending on how you're traveling
Lol 11 miles in Australia is nothing. I’d call that just south too.
25 mins probably but 11 miles LMAO. It's 6 miles from Charleston Blvd to Mandalay Bay using LV BLVD.
You guys are making me chuckle. This video was phoned in from somewhere else. Las Vegas (North Las Vegas) since i was born in '61.
This has basically nothing to do with Charleston Blvd...
Lol, right? That’s what I said!! 🤦♂️
Las Vegan LOL
Ha love your profile name!
Ha hate your profile name!
@@dennisjr77 ,
Dennis, you related to Ned & Phyllis Leavitt?
Love Las Vegas. Been here since 96, seen a lot of changes in that short time! LV my town!!!!
I just want to say that I appreciate the videography and just QUALITY of vice. HUGE appreciation for their content team 🙌🏽
Love that they did a feature on our town. Tragically omitted from this, though, are areas like Summerlin and Henderson, which are critically important hubs in their own right and very much a part of the story. This is "Vice" after all.
Love summerlin. My buddy lives there with his fiancé and I visit him once a year. Great area of Vegas
I've lived in Vegas since 2005 and this is still not the Vegas that I know. Every show about Vegas, only focuses on the strip and the more seedy parts of town. You never see them out west in Summerlin, down southwest in Southern Highlands, over in Henderson or up in the northwest in Providence. People still don't have a clue about the side of Vegas outside of the strip. The vast majority of local never go anywhere close to the strip. Only when friends or family come visit, and then you're just as big of a tourist as they are because you never go down there either! It's two different worlds. There's VISITING Vegas and then there's LIVING in Vegas. It's like night and day. Everybody always says "I don't know how you live here man, I couldn't do it!" Then I tell them that locals don't deal with the strip and they have no clue what else you would do in Vegas if you don't go to the strip......SMH. Outside of the strip it's a normal city. It's the cheapest major metropolitan area to live if you want to be on the "west cost". It's like living in Phoenix, but with a strip.
Bryan Knight cool
Probably because the suburbs are the exact same no matter what city or state that you are in.
You are right my friend. Ive lived here since 06. Us locals know not to go down to the strip unless you want to see a band or something. Tourist forget that people do live here. Have jobs and dont gamble. I always laugh when I see ppl over pay down on the strip for beer and food..And all that you have to do is drive or cab at least a mile away and prices are lower..We will see with new raiders stadium being built. How it will look..
I like your post but I disagree with some of your points. Living in Las Vegas is far different from just Phoenix with a strip. The laws, industry, and simply the "Las Vegas" culture is deeply ingrained in the city, and no other place can match it.
Bryan Knight its crazy I'm not even from there and I'm this bc I been planning on moving their but years in studying the place
As with most Vice articles, they started with a good idea and never followed through. For all her talk about Charleston Blvd she spent most of her time off of it. She might has well have focused on Las Vegas Blvd because, with the exception of the Mormon temple and Brothels (the latter of which having next to nothing to do with Las Vegas), she spent no time on Charleston Blvd. I think it was good that she addressed Zappos and the downtown "revitalization" but, if her goal was to focus on locals and the "real" Las Vegas, she sorely missed the mark.
Born & raised in Vegas and this documentary was honestly the worst. You can’t say your doing a ‘local based’ documentary and than go off for like 1/3 of the screen time talking about a place over a hundred miles away. This would have been a really great opportunity for them to highlight local festivals (like the Aloha festival or first Fridays) local communities (like the strong Latino & Filipino communities), to talk about local businesses & not some new guy that most of local residents don’t even like bc ya know GENTRIFICATION. Also The ‘clean up’ downtown project was already going way before mr. Zappos showed up
Being born and raise in Vegas specifically Henderson this documentary really doesn’t cover all the aspects of what Vegas is
Cadell Levert they didn’t even mention the lowkey “Views” at the end of E. Charleston Blvd.?
Aspects of what’s Vegas is?
Lol Henderson has nun bunch of Henderson part are bad but there’s part we’re it’s calm
GREW UP TROP N BOULDER...
You said this documentary was born and raise in Vegas. That sentence makes no sense. Rewrite it or you get an F for "what a shithole".
Hey, Vice why don't you use reporters who are actually from Las Vegas, instead of using a New York-based correspondent from England who knows absolutely nothing about the actualities of the city. Just a suggestion from someone who was born and raised in Las Vegas...
Because it's VICE. They have long become corporate sell-outs than the way they reported at their beginnings. Like any corporation, when it grows, it grows away from its core principals. Chik-Fil-A is one of those which hasn't.
Yoga pants
What else is there to say that wasn't covered in this video about LV? Been living here for over 10 years and the vid nailed how everyone perceives this city.
@@light_year6964 Seriously? 10 years? Did you read the other comments from people who also live in Las Vegas? The video title is SUCH click bait and nothing along the original narrative.
That's right! VEGAS LOCALS UNITE!! ☝️
I lived in Vegas for 12 years. People just talk about the strip. They have the best places to eat. The malls are nice they have beautiful houses. Very diverse melting pot of different races. I know alot of good people there.
Heyy
I agree
This was a terrible report. This is a city of two populations--the tourists and the locals. The tourists give Vegas the bad reputation.
The locals are very giving people. When the MGM fire happened, the locals brought food, clothing, and others things to the fire victims. When the TV program was here to re-do a house for a family, so many people showed up that the producers had to send many people home,
Nice try, but the brothels are in another county. Mandalay Bay is far from Charleston Blvd. As for "normal", the locals are just like any other community except many movies, bowling, and dining are often in hotels.
Do your homework. This was a giant misrepresentation of Vegas.
THANK YOU!!!
Lizzy Graham I live In Vegas for over 15 years! The people here are shit .Sorry but it's truth..
@@e.theresebradley5966 ,
You just gotta keep away from the drug dealers and the pimps.
Remember that when you democrats head to Florida Beaches and trash the beaches. The summer 2019 Local Floridians saw an increase of drownings. How come? Stupid ass tourist thinking the ocean was this mud puddle. So remember that to everyone flicking to Daytona, Panama City or Pensacola Beach! Stay the fuck home!
Without the tourists Vegas wouldn’t exist. Stop being an ungrateful fuck.
Charleston Blvd literally runs into the red rock , how you skip that
@Johnny Drama idk
WOW WHAT A WAY TO COMPLETELY NEGLECT RED ROCK and the beautiful landscape at the west end. Typical crap about the strip and the mob. You also omitted the arts district. What tf does the strip have to do with Charleston????
I’m a Vegas native and that was my first thought!!! Completely disregarded red rock, small businesses, the arts district, and overall the Vegas community 😕
Vice should do an episode about how pretentious their New York hipster staff is.
Tyler Hexxxa The VICELAND office is beyond clueless about most topics, all their stuff seems to be learned through google searching things for a few minutes..yep expert, I studied it on a few top links on google bro
like the pharmabro for instancemple right.
She has that classic NY accent doesnt she?
Hahaha yes. You’re right
Tyler Hexxxa lol
"mecca fo world gambling"
Macao : no u are not.
Man, this disrespectful. I want another documentary done on vegas, especially being from vegas. This is a slap in the face.
@Bob Pelley it deserves a punch in the face
This is really bad Vegas documentary as Vegas documentaries go.
yea i have lived there since i was born and still live there and most of this was inaccurate.
I lived my whole life in Vegas, I love it.
@ChiliContestWinner when you live in vegas your often disappointed with other citys. But beach places are often my first choice or orlando for the theme parks👍
How many prostitutes you had?
It's been far too many years since I've been to Vegas. From a time when I would go 5, 6...8 times a year...at least. When you go that often you make friends with locals and it's THAT, that makes the difference! Going back to the mid 70's thru the early 2000's. What a HELL of a time! Thanks for putting the memories in front of my eyes again!
Thank you for sharing this was amazing
I forget the Strip is even here most of the time; it's for the tourists, really.
bjkarana true that.
Exactly, locals hardly go to the strip. I for one avoid it like a plague. There's plenty to do here away from all the tourist. Not to say I don't appreciate them flowing money into our economy of course.
I disagree. I live on the strip and think it’s kind of ridiculous to avoid or ignore one of the biggest entertainment destinations on earth when it’s in your back yard, just to score “locals points”.
My first place was behind the San Remo. I worked at the Excalibur and could walk to work. It was a good location as you could go either east or west. But, as the city began to grow the Strip area became more and more congested. I never ignored it but would go there for a concert or something but for the most part I found plenty to do in the rest of town.
@@freshprinceofdarkness well said !!
I would totally have a 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' story with her for sure!
East side Las Vegas
Norf Town Las Vegas
West side Summerlin
South Side Henderson
Surge Juice ehh that’s just lame ass spring valley
East is hendertucky
Jason Brumley HAHAH
Born and raised in Henderson
I think we all know Paradise is best
Great video really enjoyed it
What a puff piece. Supposedly about Charleston Blvd and you spent 99.9% of the time anywhere, but on Charleston. Brothels at the end of Charleston? There isn't a legal brothel within 60 miles of either end of Charleston. The closest ones would be over the mountains in Pahrump. Having grown up in this city, starting about sixty years ago, and within half a mile of west Charleston, I can say, without a doubt, this story has nothing to do with Charleston and it's history.
Dave Casey Charleston blvd is a rhetorical device that gives outsiders like myself a general overview of a weird little city besides what we all know about it already
She did say the brothels were over 100 miles away from Vegas.
Dave Casey I’m going to do a Walkashame all the way from The bunny ranch in Pahrump where the brothels are 100+ miles away(she said) ! She made it sound like it was down on Charlston LOL Once I look at those chicks as another female “ Tore-Up but I guess that’s what you get when you pay for sex at a brothel plus probably some STDs !! No hate on the prostitutes do your thing girls or boys
I fully agree.
East Charleston: rundown homes and businesses and rampant crime
West Charleston: rich snobs in Summerlin and triathletes riding their bikes every morning near Red Rock
JD Frank hey we ride bikes on east Charleston as well......
The neighborhoods by the Mts. On East Charleston are nice...but it def has some drug and hang issues
almost accurate. East Charleston is up at Sunrise Mountain. Gorgeous. beautiful homes. but to get there you do need to drive through some poor parts of town along East Charleston, though not the worst part, that would be around D Street and Martin Luther King Dr. Then West Charleston you have Summerlin, but beyond that it goes to gorgeous Calico Ridge, Red Rock Canyon, Spring Mountain, Bonnie Springs, The quaint little village of Blue Diamond. also, Charleston doesn't take you to any brothels East or West. that was a load of hog wash made up by the fake investigative journalist that put this piece of propaganda fluff together.
Henderson is a decent middle ground.
Lived in Vegas for one year right off of Tropicana and Spencer. I stayed for one year until i woke up to my car being stolen and thought oh no, I"m outta here. Moved to BOulder city and stayed for 15 years . I have been on Charleston Blvd and it's a dangerous place to be as is most of the East side
Love this series!
Vegas is so much more than what you showed. Hell Charleston Boulevard has so much more than what you showed.
Growing up in the 702 has been pretty rad, not going to lie.
Xavier Morgan I can bet so good sir
Xavier Morgan it's definitely one of my favorite places
I agree, too bad a lot of people noticed and the traffic in some parts is horrendous compared to a few years ago. Henderson was practically a ghost town back when I first moved here in 2004. Now it's hell during rush hour and there's houses built in huge open lots that were empty for years.
Or how to be so Shakespearian.
that doc wasnt very accurate, most of the stuff happened off of charleston...i was very dissapointed
what she meant to say was.....If you drive thru red rock and make a right on rt 160 you will find the brothels....
Jay Gould me too living here for so so long I don’t know where I could do a Walkashame from a brothel anyways I wouldn’t but totally stupid for them. To say they’re going to walk home from Pahrump that’s the only brothels I know Close to Vegas
I'm so surprised you didnt hit up the Arts Factory in dtlv. Ome of the dopest places in Vegas.
“Mandalay Bay just south of Charleston Blvd..” LOL it’s the opposite end of the strip! Horrible report
Flux Bullets heck Mandalay Bay isn’t even in Las Vegas. Las Vegas stops south at Sahara Blvd.
Flux Bullets they did a horrible job on W. Charleston Blvd. is anybody that lives here is laughing at this documentary, I know I am
motorman702..... ohh stop!!! It’s in the VEGAS VALLEY!! It may be “paradise,”. Or “spring valley,” but...... you’re arguing semantics. It yeah..... NOWHERE NEAR CHARLESTON BLVD.
Is it horrible? Are you ok? You gonna make it tiger? You need a soda? Indignant you tube whiners are simply the best!
Flux Bullets Lol
I was born and raised here in Vegas-my family moved here in the mid 50’s. Just like any city we have rich and poor areas. The majority of locals don’t go to the strip not gamble. She failed to show the city at large going along with their daily lives.
Las vegas has alot of poverty.honestly
Its verry poor has verry little industry
But this is america 2020 maybe one day things will change
@big dog for reals
Next: Streets by VICE: Las Vegas (D Street) lmao
HAHAHAHAHA!!! They'd better go in an armored car with security.
hang ot on D st long enough, and you'll get your D shot off...
D Street...the place to get Dime Bags...
Jeremy Reitz lmao I’m dead
rofl!
I love your vids, you simply present the facts and tell a story
STILL trying to figure out what this vid had anything to do with Charleston Blvd
It's pretty fitting for *Vice* to do a video on *Vegas: Sin City.*
A 17 minute video about Charleston Blvd with only spent 2 minutes actually spent on Charleston.
Charlet Duboc is a fantastic journalist. Love her voice, compassion, and energy.
extremely interesting, thank you!!!
I love this series VICE, best work in a long time !
I lived in Vegas(Summerlin) for 12 years and people used to ask which hotel casino I lived in lol.
wow i watched 3 years late and dont regret. Think its one of my favorite from vice.
Mormons: Without us Vegas would be a truck stop.
Mobsters: Without us Vegas would be a truck stop.
Guy in the Video: Yes.
It's a legitimate shame you never talked about Red Rock. One of the most beautiful places on planet Earth
i thought the same exact thing
@@slob_job2870,
Back in the 80s we would ride our Motorcycles around the charleston loop, up into Red Rock, Old Nevada, and a few other areas.
Certainly one of the most beautiful in the Vegas area....
I agree. We go like once a month. Its stunning
damn vice literally filmed next to my house. yall shoulda stopped by
So you could kidnap them in your creeper van?

“BROTHELS... Hot sauce... Souvenirs”
Love it!
We used to drive up there from San Diego in the Navy in the late Nineties, I never thought of it as seedy. I grew up in an Appalachian trailer park and it was way more shady. I liked Las Vegas, I'd love to see it again.
Not much about Charleston Blvd here. Did not mention the Red Rock or Summerlin area at all. Talks about brothels that are very far away and nowhere near Charleston Blvd. Talks about stereotypical mob connections which are Ancient History compared to much more recent Giuliani, Kerik and Trump mob connections. Really poor research.
I use to work at red rock casino 😎
You forgot the Clinton mob connection.
Plazas Security Actually Trump has more mob connections in Las Vegas, way more, so I would have been more curious about that than the supposed Clinton mob connections.
The brothels are in Nye County NOT in Clark Country. They don’t even mention the Red Rock area. I’ve lived here since 1964. This report is full of crap Charleston in NO where near the Mandalay Bay casino. It’s probably at the very least 11 miles south of Charleston Blvd. If you drive west on Charleston you will go past Red Rock and then need to follow it out to Blue Diamond in order to go over the “hump” to Pahrump then and ONLY then will you be in Nye County. Shameful report. One more thing, PLEASE pronounce my State the CORRECT WAY. Damm get it right.
They left out so many historical places Las Vegas has. Interesting history about Charleston Blvd. Proud to call this city home
+O J They should have talked about the Huntridge Theater, right on Charleston and Maryland Pkwy.
Me too, although I live in the Green valley area now, kinda a different world. I miss old Vegas, it was safer when the mob ran it, they took care of gangs. My Mom knew the Spilatros , mainly the dentist brother and spent Christmas Eves with their Mother.
Las Vegas was named after Spanish traveler Antonio Armijo, 60, who arrived there while following an old Spanish road from Los Angeles, California in 1829. At that time, in some low-lying areas of the Las Vegas Valley, (Los Prados ) there were springs that create extensive green areas that contrast with the desert that surrounded them where there was spring water in abundance for western travelers; hence the name "Las Vegas". The year of 1844 marked the arrival of John C. Fremont officer and explorer of the US Army traveled to the valley of Las Vegas on May 3, 1844.
Eleven years later, LDS Mormon leader Church Brigham Young sent a group of 30 missionaries to Las Vegas to build a church halfway between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles where he would travel to convert the Indian population and gather supplies. . The Mormons left the area in 1857
The city suck and its a dumb thing for which to be proud.
I FINALLY found a piece documenting more than just the strip.
I was stationed out there for four years and never ate at El Sombrero. After seeing their food, I’m VERY sorry I missed it, along with the disc golf courses in that valley. At least I found some great dives and the BEST Thai restaurant in the state while there. Pissed I only found the Pinball hall of fame less than a month before leaving. This was such an intimately detailed segment of the real Las Vegas that tourists just don’t usually ever see. Great work Vice, and Brava, Charlet.
Yes gambling should be illegal. Because that worked so well for alcohol.
slippery slope, can be applied to just about anything, any vice, by such reasoning.
It's not a slippery slope. It's not one thing leads to another without a known causal relationship. There is a direct measurable causal relationship between prohibition and violent illegal activity, so it's not a slippery slope argument to say that prohibition will lead to illegal activity. Doubly true for something that's already currently being done illegally. Go do yourself a favor and google "slippery slope" and then think really hard please.
+MungeParty As there is a causal relationship between abortion, murder, drugs prostitution and pornography, etc.
+MungeParty so your conclusion is drawn from that supposed causal relationship. Simply, "They are going to do it anyway".
+MungeParty Levied as an argument against prohibition against any thing.
As a born and raised local this is one of the worst documentaries I have watched
I was born and raised too, a lot of the negative stuff like prostitution, addiction, and how shitty the people are to each other was super under-exaggerated. Plus they didn't talk much about charleston lol
I lived in North LV for summer and worked on the strip. Never went to the strip outside of work. I loved living in Vegas! Huge community and my house was great. Only downside was working on the strip, which is why I left.
As others have chimed in, Charleston (State Road 159) doesn't even go out to the brothels, in either Pahrump or Amargosa Valley where the host visits the brother. It goes out to Red Rock Canyon, then starts heading South, and ends at Blue Diamond (State Road 160). I wish they would've just stayed on Charleston the whole time because the road is VERY diverse from East to West. I liked Vice's Streets episode in LA of Sunset Blvd, because it showed the diversity a bit more. But even the Sunset episode flew by all the SUPER expensive areas, only really showing the gritty side of Sunset and the surfers.
The "Mack daddy" of Mormon churches lmaooo
NorthPhillyKane yuhhhhh
I should've read the comments first. I came here to reminisce about the childhood I had in Vegas. I lived just off of Charleston on the east side, but this ain't about that. This is about the strip, and gambling, and prostitution, as always. Btw, if you wanna do a bit on the gambling problem for Vegas locals, don't look at the strip, look at places like Sams Town, or any of the Station Casinos, that's where the locals go to throw away their money.
Is this a bad time to ask for a raise 😂😂 classic
I was surprised they made a Charleston blvd episode lol shout out to fellow charleston blvd locals
I live by the Mormon temple, haha, I feel special now for living in the East Side.
China Rodriguez that's right
cool video! love to know the background music.
+DJIRORMAN had exact same thought! I NEED the song at 10:11
yessssss
I needed to see this...but I wonder what has happened since. Maybe do a "return visit"?
I live in Minnesota and my uncle who lived in Vegas always told me how one day he would bring me to the Bunny Ranch. He passed away and I hope one day I can see what its all about.
who else lives in vegas
me
I used to leave there. It is the worst place I've ever lived and I have lived all over the country from Los Angeles (where I am from and grew up) to South Carolina. It is the only place I've been to worldwide that has no soul. Lad Vegas is where the devil's lives. I felt complete emptiness while living there.
Mondo Gonzo Why it a beautiful very dry place.You can go and shoot guns.Theres plenty to do
Charleston...really? That's what they decide to look at? I've lived here since '97, but my Grandparents were in Boulder City so I've been coming up here twice a year since I was small and this place has changed A LOT!!! Still a hell of a lot better than So. Cali though.
yup
Lol talks about mormons at 3:25 but shows Jehovah’s Witnesses😂😂
Did a month and a half of canvassing in Vegas, learned a lot about Vegas
I've been here since 77 and this is a half-assed video at best.
Rest in paradise Mr. Tony Hsieh

they forgot the huntridge theater
+Brick Bazooka to be fair EVERYONE (including the local music fans) forgot the huntridge.
Excellent!
Growing up in vegas in the 90's was pretty cool saw some awesome shows at the huntridge theater. Vegas was crazy back then and it had a different feeling back then only if you grew up here u know what i mean the city feels colder these days if that makes sense
Mandalay Bay and the DJ scene have nothing to do with the ghetto of Charleston Blvd. Show some homeless, and some liquor stores, and immigration lawyers.
Heck ya, I lived near Huntridge Circle and the woman doing this skit got nowhere near the Huntridge. This story is a fail.
I thought that was going to be the subject too. Run down ghetto area.
I only watched this because of CHARLET DUBOC ;)
Yeah nice camel toe.
sameee
Ya, I have to admit me too.
same here lol also watch her on munchies ...shes sooooo hot
small tits are the sweetest !!
There’s so much more to my town. I call it that because I was born and raised here. I knew Anthony Spilatrro as a kid. He lived across the street from my uncle. And my cousin was best friends withAnthonys nephew. Spilatro was very nice to us kids. We never knew who he really was until we were adults. I wish they would’ve touched on the nicer areas of Charleston Boulevard going into Summerlin. They should’ve Vegas as a whole and went to every single part of town to show the diversity that we have here
I lived on W Charleston for years - when it ended at Rainbow. This was mid 70s.
I’m so confused and maybe even a little let down by what could’ve been an incredibly fascinating piece. Charleston Boulevard does stretch from E to W, but I believe the historic side of Charleston is its downtown area encompassing east towards Boulder Highway, from Shadow Ridge and historic Huntridge neighborhoods. The streets that run parallel to Charleston (Sahara on the South side and Fremont to the North) are locations of some of the juiciest specks of Las Vegas history; just think the Mob had much to do with the development of this part of town... casinos, beautiful golf coursed neighborhoods, the boulevard mall and even a money laundering hospitals (Sunrise). Should’ve let Dr. Green direct this whole documentary, he was my professor in college and was passionate about the city of Las Vegas.
PS No brothels in sight anywhere in Las Vegas
Right. It's kind of hard to see Pahrump (where prostitution is legal) from Las Vegas.
I live in Vegas, bought my first home there, it’s nothing special really. 🍔🍟
tbh it really isn't, but it's home, well at least to us who have lived here our whole lives or 15+ years
The Artifice bldg. with the girls face on it...i think i was there a few years ago for a goth night dance party.Cool place..cool party and met some interesting ppl.Maybe i'll go back some day.
Sydney, Australia - just South East of Charleston Blvd.
i just wasted 17 minutes of my life. i could have baked oatmeal raisin cookies.
Wtf you monster! You don't put rasins in cookies what is wrong with you?

Johnathan Sanford your life is worthless
I literally moved here 4 DAYS ago and I already can tell how inaccurate this video is....I was incredibly shocked to find that Vegas is wayyyyy more than just the strip. The whole city is beautiful, the mountains are like a surreal backdrop, and the neighborhoods are so unique and interesting. I would have enjoyed seeing a local's perspective so I could better understand my new residence, but this felt random and boring....and it's really not at all as "Casino! Sex! Booze!" as I thought. Not even close.
Gabrielle Holt you found one
@Gabrielle Holt I live here too since I was 10. And I agree
Welcome to Las Vegas! I've lived here over 20 years ... it has changed a lot in that time, but it has ALWAYS been more than the strip. In fact, in my years here, I can count on two hands the times I've been there. The foothills of the mountains rock! Maybe pun intended ... :)
@Silent Running wtf I moved here 10...20 years ago. I've gambled maybe 5 times it's mostly the tourists that gamble or the people that moved here for that. My dad moved us to Henderson to get out if the shit hole called LA. Downtown is nasty just like any city but there is tons of amazing beauty here. It most certainly is not the dirtiest city ever. Been to Frisco lately? My daughter is flourishing here straight As good head on her shoulders. PLEASE don't put one blanket over all who live here. What u are saying is simply untrue. It's a city full of suburbs with schools and rec. Centers and libraries and all that. I'm a member of the PTA. I promise u not everyone here is a stripper or gambles. I mean do u honestly believe that?
And yeah it's hot but guess what we still have grass. I have a backyard full of it real grass that my happy dog shits on everyday. Most people here besides the ones addicted to gambling are very happy and humble people. Also I lived in Boulder City for a while that's where I work at the dam and it's beautiful no gambling and it's an amazing little town. Again pls don't categorize all of us into one big pile, the majority of residents are just raising their families and want the best for their kids just like any other city.
I must check it out some day 👍🏻
I live in Vegas , there's so much more to this city than gambling and partying .
The coolest thing about Charleston BLVD is the Red Rock hotel and it didn’t even get mentioned. 0.5/10
Also cool about Charleston Blvd... it doesn't end up in another county where brothels are. lol... I mean, you can take the loop around and go over to Pahrump, but Charleston ends at Red Rock.
I agree lol even though it’s in Summerlin
@@yenrabjb I guess if you keep going all the way through Red Rock and make that right on blue diamond to get out to Pahrump.

Yeah? What high school did you graduate from?
Las vegas ball park.
Do more places in California or it as a whole!
Great show
Liked the 31 mile highway/ aka city of sin
Love this expose of Charleston Blvd. You know what's another great street? Las Vegas Blvd... specifically the 6075 building. Heard you can take helicopter flights over the Strip and the Grand Canyon, whoa!
