A terrifying glimpse into America s future
During the boom years, no place in America boomed more than Las Vegas. But when the economy collapsed, Vegas fell hard. Laura Ling tours the wreckage of Sin City, from unemployed strippers and half-built, abandoned casino projects, to hospitals turning away cancer patients and ambulances, to one of the few remaining boom industries--evicting people.
Crap, Vegas used to be a boom town....where the heck is a good place in America left to flee to in the coming apocalypse? It sure as hell ain't Chicago.
