History[]
During the economic crisis, Las Vegas declined and many of its gaudy establishment were left abandoned. At least 65% of the city were unemployed.[1] Following the Korean EMP attack, Las Vegas was left without electricity and cut off from the other cities. Many of its citizens left for Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Denver.[1]
Despite the situation, Las Vegas was able to be self-sufficient. Engine-generators were utilized for essential needs. The reorganized Casino Management Company established a miniature economic system in which casino chips were used as currency to rebuild the city communally.[1] The casinos were still running to entertain the citizens from their boredom. The mayor declared all the hotels to provide shelter to the homeless. Food was homegrown from a large greenhouse, and meat was scarce in which chicken eggs were substituted. Strict law and order were kept in place by Sheriff Mack McConley.[2]
The city was ignored by the KPA after they took over Boulder City and Hoover Dam, where they repaired the dam and coincidentally provided running water to Las Vegas.[1] The Koreans saw little value in the city as they saw the city as a representative of the old decadence and capitalist spirit of America, and thus they left the city alone.[3]
Ben Walker settled in Las Vegas and became a disc jockey criticizing the Korean occupation and especially severely insulting Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Viewing Walker as a threat for brewing unrest, Korean authorities ordered the elimination of Walker by destroying Las Vegas. On January 24, 2026, the Korean People's Army Air Force used confiscated American F-35s and B-2s to bomb the city and thousands of civilians were killed.[4] Although the city was destroyed, Walker managed to escape.
