Through its relatively short history, Las Vegas has gone from being a railway stop in the middle of the desert to the glittering neon-lit oasis it is today, welcoming millions of visitors from around the world every year.
Over the last century, the city has seen its fair share of mayhem - including murders, bombings, kidnappings, and more!
Presented in collaboration with Mayhem In The Desert (https://www.mayheminthedesert.com/), this is...Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime - The Sordid Tales Behind The Stranger-Than-Fiction History of Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada

On October 26, 2003, a 911 call led police to a dry lakebed near Boulder City, Nevada – roughly 25 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. There, they discovered the unearthed remains of a brutalized human body.
Disturbing aspects of the crime scene immediately led investigators to conclude that the victim had not been the target of random violence. This had been a well-planned execution.
It would be over 4 months before the remains would be identified as those of Jared Whaley, a Las Vegas high school student who’d been reported missing just 10 days before he was found in a shallow grave in the desert.
For this special episode of the podcast, series creators Jeff Walker and Meagan & Anthony Smith sit down for a conversation about the murder of Jared Whaley as well as the investigation into the killing, and the trial of the group of Jared's friends who were accused of the murder. Meagan also describes her experience of having to testify at the preliminary hearing leading up to the trial and her involvement in the case.

Big Top: The Circus Circus Heist - Part 1
In the early hours of October 1, 1993, a quiet but daring heist unfolded on the Las Vegas Strip.
What began as an ordinary day at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino turned into a high-stakes mystery that would take years to unravel, forever changing the way casinos approached their security.
In a heist that seemed straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, over $3 million in cash was stolen from an armoured truck without a single alarm being raised or a single shot being fired. It wasn’t until hours later that anyone realized the money was gone—and so were the culprits.
