Your experience
Stop 1
Begin at The Palazzo (2007), the all-suite glass tower of corporate Las Vegas. Here you open Caruso's coded ledger and decode the first word, POWER — the force the moguls inherited from the mob.
Stop 2
At The Venetian, built in 1999 over the imploded Sands Hotel where Caruso once kept the books, you cross canals and gondolas and uncover LUXURY — the excess both eras worshipped.
Stop 3
Enter the Roman world of Caesars Palace (1966), the mob's imperial throne room. You reveal HONOR — the currency more valuable than cash in the back rooms.
Stop 4
Reach The Mirage (1989), Steve Wynn's volcano-fronted resort that launched modern Vegas. You decode VISION — the dream that re-made the Strip.
Stop 5
Before the dancing fountains of the Bellagio (1998), you decode NERVE — the daring it took to build a lake in the Mojave Desert.
Stop 6
At the pink Flamingo (1946), Bugsy Siegel's violent dream and the Strip's oldest resort, you uncover LOYALTY — the creed the families swore, and broke.
Stop 7
Beneath the half-scale Eiffel Tower of Paris Las Vegas (1999), you decode LUCK — the fortune that turns on a single card.
Stop 8
Conclude at the MGM Grand (1993) and its giant bronze lion. You decode the final word, GLORY, and assemble the eight into FORTUNE — the families' true lost treasure.
