Galveston Red Light District Tour
Beskrivelse
Gå ind i Galvestons mest skandalefulde hemmelighed, hvor politiet stoppede ved broen, og skurken regerede øen. Tilbage til en æra, hvor Galveston blev kendt som "Amerikas legeplads", et vidt åbent syndparadis, hvor spil, alkohol, bordeller og baglokaler blomstrede under beskyttelse af organiseret kriminalitet. Så længe pengene flød, blev besøgende behandlet som familie, og tilfredshed kom uden konsekvenser. Kasinoer pulserede gennem natten, og The Red Light District blomstrede bag ubemærkede døre. Korruption blev ikke længere visket, det blev forventet. Dette var Galvestons egen Vegas-drøm, komplet med underholdere i verdensklasse som Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. og Dean Martin, der udførte kun få skridt væk fra prostitution, løn og ulovlige fornøjelser. På denne tur vil du opdage de historier, de forsøgte at begrave, de steder, hvor strøm blev købt med ydelser, og hvordan Galveston blev en af de mest berygtede Red Light Districts i Amerika, alt skjult i det blotte syn.
