But for a group of unlucky travelers in Las Vegas, they are about to get a front row seat to the events at the end of the world. Too quickly this new zombie outbreak spreads and soon they are forced to lead an exodus out of Sin City as waves of cruel undead turn the town into a bloody shambling wasteland.
They’re coming to get you… If you like your zombie stories with a little “bite,” this is your zombie tale. Get the new trade paper back…before it gets you."
