Historic Galveston Red Light District Tour

Overview

Return to a time when the mob ran Galveston and their guests were treated as if they were family. When you crossed the bridge you enter "The Free State of Galveston," where the only rules were mob rules. The stars of the era were world class entertainers brought in to perform in the casinos, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Everyone was enjoying their own "Vegas Dream" right here in Galveston.

The red light district tour was a highly entertaining informational sex scandal field tour. The history of Galveston and the behind the scenes. Felt like I had a blast and did something better for myself than the other entertainment to be offered.
