Ever wondered what goes on beyond the Las Vegas casino floors? In Las Vegas, most hotels have stories about hard-partying rock stars, unfaithful spouses, or crazy room service requests. But the most notorious Sin City hotel tales are about hook-ups, destruction, and even death.
Criss Angel gets all his tail in Las Vegas hotels, including past conquests like Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears and Holly Madison. Maybe it's magic? And speaking of Britney Spears, her grubby ex Kevin Federline made one of his first (and most public) pre-divorce hook-ups in Las Vegas (with a porn star nonetheless).
Some of Las Vegas' hotel tales involve the hotels themselves. For example, while many Vegas visitors appreciate the city's ever-changing skyline, for many fans of old school Las Vegas the city's biggest scandal is its total disregard for history. The Desert Inn, the Sands, and most recently the Stardust Hotel—once staples of the original Strip—have all fallen victim to Las Vegas' pursuit of the next big thing.
Of course when it comes to victims, it's hard to overlook Sin City's human body count. As a large city, it goes without saying that Las Vegas has its fair share of crime, but even on the Strip lives have been lost in the city's most luxurious rooms. While much of the city's press goes to high profile deaths (usually due to drug overdoses or alcohol poisoning), it's also worth noting that Nevada has one of the country's highest suicide rates, suggesting that some poor souls lose more than money at Las Vegas hotels and casinos.
