Las Vegas – the glittering city in the Nevada desert and a projection of the American Dream. Since 1905, it has transformed from a remote outpost into a railroad hub, a gangster haven, the “Atomic City,” and the global capital of casinos and shows.
Millions come seeking luck, success, and upward mobility, yet the city also stands for risk, downfall, and social divides. The film looks behind the façade of this city of extremes, where dreams and failure coexist.
Historians, croupiers, social workers, artists, and homeless people reveal what defines Las Vegas – a myth, an engine, and a mirror of America.
