Before there was Las Vegas... there was Newport, Kentucky. Explore the streets where the mob made their millions, gamblers lost their lives, and ladies of the night earned their reputations. Join the gangster guides for a raucous, high energy presentation inside an old casino to explain the historic significance of Newport, and discover how this little town gave birth to the modern day gaming industry.
Anyone ever taken this tour? My dad has told me stories about how Newport was a "wide open" town back in the day. He said that even the grocery stores had slot machines. And apparently it was not just a small-time local reputation. People all over the country had heard about gambling and wild times in Newport.
Sounds like a very interesting tour. To me it would be more fun than just checking out another Aquarium or some trendy place to eat.
