Itinerary and highlights
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.
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.
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.
Reach The Mirage (1989), Steve Wynn's volcano-fronted resort that launched modern Vegas. You decode VISION — the dream that re-made the Strip.
Before the dancing fountains of the Bellagio (1998), you decode NERVE — the daring it took to build a lake in the Mojave Desert.
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.
Beneath the half-scale Eiffel Tower of Paris Las Vegas (1999), you decode LUCK — the fortune that turns on a single card.
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.
