Vegas Bound: Secrets from the Inside

Step behind the neon lights and discover the real Las Vegas—the side tourists never see. From mob magic to modern mayors, bartenders to billionaires, strip clubs to secret speakeasies, Vegas Bound: Secrets from the Inside peels back the glittering curtain of Sin City to reveal its most outrageous, jaw-dropping, and little-known secrets. Author Terri Gomez, a Vegas insider with degrees in criminal justice and education (and a bartending school graduate who really learned how the city runs), takes readers on a wild ride through 47 unforgettable “secrets.” Each one is a story of scandal, survival, and spectacle—from drive-thru weddings and shark-filled pools to mobsters, showgirls, and politicians who play just as dirty as the gamblers on the Strip. Inside you’ll uncover: The hidden history of mob bosses, millionaires, and mayors who shaped the city. Off-the-strip gems—from speakeasies, food trucks, and brunch spots to sacred desert escapes. The shocking truths behind “Vegas girls,” prostitution myths, and the real hustle that keeps the city alive. Paranormal hauntings, forbidden areas like Area 51, and the underground tunnels where locals really live. Secrets about casinos, jackpots, politics, and power that prove Vegas is more than just bright lights. Equal parts memoir, travel guide, and tell-all exposé, this book is perfect for fans of Vegas nonfiction, travel stories, mob history, and true insider accounts. Whether you’ve visited Vegas, plan to, or just want to know what really goes on beyond the Strip, this book will entertain, shock, and make you laugh with every page. ✨ Vegas isn’t just a place—it’s a state of mind. And now, you’ve got the inside scoop.
