Make room for a walk in your plans.

Choose a stretch to explore, work out where to pause and check the practical details before you set off.

Meet James. He has something to point out.

James Hogg selects and shapes our stories. Here’s what goes into them.

A good story should stand up to a closer look.

We look for the records behind the stories, explain where accounts disagree and say when a question remains open.

We’re adding public source trails story by story. Where that detail isn’t available yet, we say so.

How we research the stories Suggest a correction or source

There was a Vegas here before this one.

Follow the history of a place you know—or find out what stood there before it.

Stay a little longer. There’s quite a cast.

You don’t have to be in Vegas to enjoy its stories. Start with the people whose plans, encounters and occasional predicaments became part of the city.

Keep a little Vegas on your bookshelf.

More stories to enjoy before your trip, after it or whenever Vegas comes to mind. Two collections by James Hogg and Piers Rollinson.
