Tour del quartiere a luci rosse di Galveston
Descrizione
Entra nel segreto più scandaloso di Galveston, dove la polizia si è fermata al ponte e la buoncostume ha governato l'isola. Ritorna a un'epoca in cui Galveston era conosciuta come "America's Playground", un paradiso del peccato a cielo aperto dove il gioco d'azzardo, l'alcol, i bordelli e gli affari segreti fiorivano sotto la protezione del crimine organizzato. Finché il denaro scorreva, i visitatori venivano trattati come familiari e l'indulgenza veniva senza conseguenze. I casinò pulsavano durante la notte, e il quartiere a luci rosse prosperava dietro porte non contrassegnate. La corruzione non era più sussurrata, era prevedibile. Questo era il sogno di Galveston a Las Vegas, con intrattenitori di fama mondiale come Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. e Dean Martin che si esibivano a pochi passi dalla prostituzione, dalle vincite e dai piaceri illeciti. In questo tour, scoprirai le storie che hanno cercato di seppellire, i luoghi in cui il potere è stato acquistato con favori e come Galveston è diventato uno dei quartieri a luci rosse più famigerati d'America, tutti nascosti in bella vista.
