The film explores the days of segregation when West Las Vegas was called the "Mississippi of the West" by Ebony Magazine in 1954 and a time when blacks were banned from the same hotels that they worked which led to the creation of the Moulin Rouge, the first African American owned/run hotel that featured many black entertainer of the 50's and 60's. (Sammy Davis Jr, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole) After-hours, it even became a favorite haunt for many of the white entertainers such as Jimmy Durante, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra. When integration finally came in the 1960's, the township of West Las Vegas grew both culturally and in population with casino's and shops along Jackson Street making it the the "other strip" of Las Vegas. the documentary also examines the negative and positive accomplishments of the West Las Vegas populace going into the 70's.

The title of the film is a homage to Ralph Ellison's landmark 1952 novel "Invisible Man" which celebrates black America's rich cultural history that still remains even today unseen by the majority white culture which surrounds it.
