Inside dark underbelly of Las Vegas where Pornhub star Jenni Lee battles to survive in deadly flood tunnels with 1,000 homeless ‘mole’ people who eat scraps from casino bins

THE Las Vegas strip is the ultimate in glittering excess, with glaring neon lights, headline shows and millions being gambled in the luxurious casinos. But just 25ft below the roulette tables of Sin City lurks a hidden world where hundreds of homeless people fight for survival in a network of underground tunnels. The grim underbelly of the Nevada gambling mecca was revealed this week, when Dutch documentary workers discovered Pornhub star Jenni Lee living in the dank storm drains.




 It’s estimated around 1000 homeless eke out an existence below the strip, living on food rescued from bins and the odd cash handout from jubilant gamblers who struck lucky. Residents - dubbed 'mole people' - range from full-time workers, unable to afford housing in the cash-rich city, to gambling addicts and drug addicts, who occupy three separate tunnels depending on whether they prefer crack, meth or heroin.



 But all risk disease from living alongside rats in unsanitary conditions, bites from venomous spiders and drowning in the flood defence pipes. While the City nestles in the Nevada Desert, where rainfall is rare, the 600 miles of flood channels - build in the 1980s - can fill up at a foot per minute during a storm, with currents as fast as 25-30mph. In 2016, a flash flood killed three residents including Sharon, who had featured in a YouTube documentary the year before.
