Step into Galveston’s most scandalous secret, where the police stopped at the bridge and vice ruled the island.
Return to an era where Galveston was known as "America’s Playground", a wide-open paradise of sin where gambling, booze, brothels, and back-room deals flourished under the protection of organized crime. As long as the money flowed, visitors were treated like family and indulgence came without consequence. Casinos pulsed through the night, and The Red Light District thrived behind unmarked doors. Corruption was no longer whispered, it was expected.
This was Galveston’s own Vegas dream, complete with world-class entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin performing just steps away from prostitution, payoffs, and illicit pleasures.
On this tour, you’ll uncover the stories they tried to bury, the places where power was bought with favors, and how Galveston became one of the most notorious Red Light Districts in America, all hiding in plain sight.

Informative and niche. You notice things that you didn’t realize had deeper meanings and you go inside places you didn’t know you could enter. Would highly recommend to someone who is looking to connect with the city on a deeper level!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Red Light District tour with Robert. Galveston has such a fascinating (and lurid!) history, and Robert really brought it to life. We learned a lot and also had some laughs. Highly recommend.

Fascinating stories about the mob, prostitution, great storm and casinos. Noelle was super knowledgeable and answered every question. It covers people not talked about enough.

Noelle was amazing, and so was the tour! We loved the history and all the fun extra facts about the Mob and history of Galveston in general! We loved it all and want to go back and take another one.
