Las Vegas, Nevada - I’m not the first person to tell this story - there’s some great documentaries online that cover this unique human crisis - and as always, some versions tell the truth well others are meant to shock you, either way my goal today is to give you another angle… to shine a light on the people who are trying to make a difference - based on their own life experience. And one man in particular who’s in the trenches and at the center of these efforts is Rob Banghart.
The Las Vegas tunnels run all the way to Lake Mead, and in total, there’s more than 600 miles of tunnels that run under Las Vegas.
While their main purpose is for flood control, at one point allegedly they were used as mafia escape routes from different casinos, and now more than a thousand people call them home.
Recently, The city’s trying to clear all these up to look good for major events like the Super Bowl, F1, and a potential new Major League Baseball team, but if you search deep enough you’ll come across many people still living down here.
I was lucky enough to spend the day with Rob and the Shine a Light Foundation team to learn more about the homeless people who call the Las Vegas tunnels home.

Gareth i have watched pretty much all of your videos on Both of your channels & i have to say this by far was my favorite. It is so touching that you not only felt compelled and wanted to share the truth behind this epidemic, but that you were also able to Shine Light yourself on the "Shine a Light" foundation and all they do on the daily to provide outreach services to the Las Vegas Community! Keep up the great content! I know this wasn't an easy one to film and experience first hand so thank you for not being afraid to be vulnerable and share some hard truth with the world! Mad Respect

Love this story! So good there are people to help others. I have volunteered and gone out in the streets to help the homeless. It’s heart breaking and you can’t force them to take the opportunity! Because the bottom line, they have do it for themselves! But when they are ready for change, we can only pray and hope, there are others who are willing to help. I’m so glad G that you saw their plight. Keep shining stories that are impactful and useful! 😊

@Jenn79579 2 месяца назад

This was a very educational and touching video. It was quite emotional. Thank you to the Shine of Light team for all they do. Healing and sobriety are not linear. I appreciate your videos showing the different facets of life. I saw a comment that said they were glad you did this video instead of the sex worker video. That’s just it….everyone holds value in this world regardless if we agree with or are comfortable with their story. People end up on their own path for a reason. Much of the time it’s due to trauma, abuse, etc. Who are we to judge anyone in how they handle that. Not everyone is equipped with the tools to make what others perceive as the “right choice”. This is why it’s so wonderful to see a program like Shine the Light who wants to help not just with supplies, but also with the counseling and mental health aspect. Gareth you’re truly a beautiful soul doing amazing work!

This is what the channel is all about, not that sex worker stuff. Yes, that's a story of a day in the life too, but it's not all that interesting or introspective the way this video is and it sure means something more to our shared humanistic outlooks. It's the difference to listening to a rich person talk compared to a poor person; one has little to say but so many ways to say it; the other, a lot to say, but few who seem to want to listen. I think your channel proves time and again it's the latter that is the most worthwhile. Anyway, thanks for this video and for caring.

@kristylynn1329 2 месяца назад

Thank you. Well done video❤️ Be CAREFUL assigning blame with statements like: “They could get help if they wanted it” . Shelters are not always better or safer. If not run with true compassion and respect these programs are in danger of being hurtful and shaming instead of helpful and healing. ❤️‍🩹 If all you have left is your own personal sovereignty, it is daunting to jump through all of the bureaucratic hoops waiting back at the headquarters. Outreach workers are kind and generous and amazing, but they are not running the show …

Another great and interesting video. I bet there were so many stories that wouldn’t fit into this one video. Shine-A-Light sounds great, and good to see they let people know they are there for them when they are ready to come in. Sometimes the you don’t have to say much and the stories tell themselves. Ah, shows just how lucky many of us truly are. 👍🏾🦊

@PaulMacalusoLV 2 месяца назад

I've lived in Vegas for over 20 years and it's a sad thing to see however the large majority of folks on the street suffer from addiction. Dope is the problem put a zero tolerance in place and have real consequences for using and it will change dramatically. Forced treatment is needed, it will save countless lives and clean our community up. Feeding these folks and giving them supplies is only enabling them. Your hearts are in the right place but this isn't the answer. Me and my wife use to do community outreach by providing non perishable, food and resources to help people get off the streets. We ultimately stopped because the people didn't want our help and just asked for money. After seeing people throw the supplies & food we gave away or complained about not giving money we stopped. Give them a hand up not a hand out. What most people don't know is Las Vegas is one of the best cities to get resources to help you get off the streets. The night a city ordnance was passed to criminalize public vagrancy there were over 500 empty beds at the shelters.

Do you go back and give them money if I'm homeless I wouldn't want you making videos of me poor and struggling and you making a bunch of money off my showing my trials and tribulations to a bunch of people on the internet and not help me I would have told you to kick rocks if you asked to record me or put me on video..SMH I may have showed you I sleep over here xyz if you gave me 4 or 5k..other than that get outta here and I don't wanna go to your church or hear about having jesus or being reconciled to God being born again or having eternal life i have plenty of faith and i dont have no crazy habits..i dont wanna here nothing about needing to repent either..I can name plenty of people living in sin who need to repent but for some reason God let these people have the most money and all the material things in life when a lot of them don't deserve it that's not hating that's just a fact not more than me they financially somehow blessed by God and I'm the one struggling when it should be the other way around...So I don't wanna hear nothing Ive pretty much heard it all...
