This is the Sin City underneath the famous sites and attractions. Taly and Russ' vision of the Neon Oasis, is a place of lost children, gambling junkies stuck at the local 7-Eleven and of deep holes left by demolition. Not only demolition of actual giant hotels but also of the soul of the inhabitants. Through a collage of images you will discover the genuine Vegas beneath the neon.

"Greetings from Las Vegas by Taly and Russ Johnson is a colorful collage of both sound, smell and rhythm of Las Vegas with its absurdities and its truths interspersed with mannipulated texts, paintings, with photographs and collaged images, and the sadness of the place exuding every page..." -- UMBRELLA magazine volume 25, no. 1
