Stranded in the middle of the Nevada desert, this former gambling palace is disintegrating under the hot sun. Once claiming to be the “world’s highest casino,” the Montgomery Pass Casino spent many years as an entertainment oasis in the barren landscape edging a lonely stretch of Highway 6. Read on to learn what happened to this former casino town, then watch the footage of the town from YouTube channel “Wonder Hussy.”
