The Sun is running a fascinating feature about the 700 people that live in the tunnels below Las Vegas. They’ve furnished the tunnels as homes and have developed their own culture and community.
Really is the living incarnation of William Gibson’s claim that the street finds a use for everything.
As he gives a guided tour of home, Steven Dommermuth explains: “We use our imagination a lot.
“Our bed came from a skip outside an apartment complex. It’s mainly stuff people dump that we pick up. One man’s junk is another man’s gold.
“We get the stuff late at night so people don’t see us because it’s kind of embarrassing.”
He later gives directions to the tunnels’ own art gallery, a collection of graffiti by local artists and some by the underground residents.
