Overview

The top rated tour developer in Las Vegas takes you on a private adventure, retracing the steps and actions of Billionaire Howard Hughes in Las Vegas. The controversial history uncovered recently by friends of your guide, including the former head of the FBI Organized Crime Task Force in Las Vegas, and the former Facilities Manager of North Las Vegas airport back when Howard Hughes owned it, is beyond shocking. The evidence, if presented earlier, would have changed the trajectory of American business and defense.

A resident of Las Vegas for 56 years takes you in the footsteps of Howard Hughes in Las Vegas, from your guide's own perspective as someone who lived here when Hughes did, and who's family was involved in former Hughes properties.

The tour ends with shocking evidence uncovered by renowned sources including your guide, during and after the research for the books "The Investigation" and "Stolen Justice".

Hang on to your hat, this is a wild ride through Las Vegas history.
