Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

Erected in 1959, the iconic sign welcomes millions of visitors each year. Thousands of tourists line up every day to take a "selfie" with the famous marker in the background. The sign, which symbolizes the classic start of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, represents hope, imagination, and ingenuity. It is one of the "things" visitors to the city delight in seeing.

What is not so delightful are the unexpected things awaiting Las Vegas visitors and locals alike. Things such as locusts, witches, and droughts. Not to worry—locusts tend to be migratory, witches mostly keep to themselves, and water shortages are, for the most part, a temporary thing and cyclical in nature. There are, however, other things which cannot so easily be dismissed. Supernatural beings, hungry beasts, and perhaps the deadliest thing of all: humans.
