Walk Las Vegas's most haunted locations. 22 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.
Las Vegas was built on mob money and desert graves, and the most haunted places in the city prove the dead collect on both. Bugsy Siegel bought into the El Cortez Hotel in 1945 before building the Flamingo — where his ghost still lingers near the memorial rose garden after his 1947 murder. The Cecil-style body count at Bally's traces to November 21, 1980, when the MGM Grand fire killed 87 people, most asleep in their beds from carbon monoxide. Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum sits in a 1938 mansion with a history of occult activity, housing Ed Gein's cauldron and the Dybbuk Box. This self-guided tour hits 13 free stops across the Strip and beyond — from the Mob Museum's 1933 federal courthouse to the Neon Museum Boneyard, where dead casino signs hum with the ghosts of old Vegas.
