    How does it not smell down there?

    Tunnel is a nice word for sewer. It carries the runoff from the strip. While it's not raw sewage, I imagine it's pretty nasty.

    Nah, if they don't see them and are not bothering anyone, they probably leave them there......

    These are actually redirections of the natural washes that occur throughout the Vegas valley. These are, for most of the year, dry. The problems occur whenever a flash flood occurs and the tunnel residents do not have enough time to clear out...plus they usually end up losing most of their accumulated items during a flood.

    Does anyone live in the tunnels in downtown Houston? God knows there's plenty of food down there.
