I think the most interesting and perhaps the saddest aspect of my city is the hidden homeless population.

There are an estimated 1,500 people living underground in the drainage system spanning hundreds of miles across Las Vegas

This is something to be aware of if you weren't already

Yikes…I have wondered how many rattlesnakes and scorpions are in the underground areas where the homeless are living.

@cherokeepatti I wonder too. Snakes and scorpions usually try to steer of people

@caPnAhab When I was in Laughlin a lady told me about someone who had bought a home in the Las Vegas area and it was over a huge nest of scorpions. They tried for about 6 months to kill them out and get rid of them but failed and had to move out of the home that they had purchased. Someone else here in Oklahoma was offered a nice 4-bedroom brick home as part of his job. The home was originally for the school principal. The coach who had moved in the home was having problems with scorpions and ended up moving out even though there was no rent on it.
