Sin City didn’t just get its name from its reputation as the gambling capital of the world. The glittery lights and casinos of Las Vegas pale in comparison to some of the city’s juiciest ghost stories.
It’s one of the most haunted places in the West, and – despite a very storied history – is home to some of Nevada’s creepiest stories.
From its earliest days, Las Vegas has played host to mobsters, disillusioned gamblers, washed-up entertainers, broken-hearted starlets, and various eccentric types.
If you like a scary tale or want to have encounters with Las Vegas ghosts, there are plenty to keep you company on your next visit.
