Busted

Nonfiction • TV-14 • Directed by: Dan Rather Reports • 55 minutes

4/21/09 No has been spared in the economic downturn. Not even Las Vegas, Nevada, proving that in these tough times even the city that bills itself as “recession proof” can go bust. We visit the individuals who make up this young city, who came to Las Vegas in search of the American dream. From exotic dancers trying to earn a living, to struggling families who are about to be evicted from their homes. Some are optimistic, believing that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, while others are trying to stay afloat despite 100,000 people being out of work, and home values being dropped close to 50%. We bring you their stories as they unfold, some promising, others not so much.
