The Las Vegas Madam started as my own story. As I researched the city's red light history, the more I found — women whose names are found in out-of-print memoirs and archived boxes, whose work and lives shaped Las Vegas and the entire western frontier. Without them, the west would not have become what it did. They turned outposts into thriving communities.
That research became the Historic Red Light District Tour. At first it was a self-guided app. Guests wanted more and it became a walking tour, We offered a daytime and a nightime immersive option, going deeper into the oldest rooms in the city, and images from the era projected on the walls. Actors brought the story to life. Then, we brought the story to you - to the expo halls with a 60-minute immersive theatrical production and full cast - bringing those stories to life.
Every stage of the project has been about the same thing: taking history that almost disappeared, and making sure it doesn't.
