Beneath the gaudy, blinding lights of Sin City, where the famous Las Vegas Strip never goes dark, untold number of homeless people have taken of residence in the sewer tunnels, where the sun never shines.

Las Vegas attracts high-rollings gamblers, big spending tourists and the biggest names in music and Hollywood - but it also has the highest foreclosure rate in the nation and fourth-highest rate of homelessness.

The dank tunnels are dangerous. Every time it rains in the city above, the draining water causes flash floods in the sewers below - washing away everything the subterranean residents have accumulated. Anyone in the tunnels can be carried away, too.

On average, one homeless person drowns in the tunnel each year.

However, rain is infrequent in desert Las Vegas and so the homeless continue to flock to the tunnels.

The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that many of the residents of the tunnels feel that they have nowhere else to go. The city has an estimated 12,000 homeless; it is unknown how many live in the tunnels.
