  • Big Top: The Circus Circus Heist - Part 1

    Big Top: The Circus Circus Heist - Part 1
    Nov 19 2024

    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.


    To learn about the robbery at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and other true crime tales from the darker side of Las Vegas history, visit Mayhem In The Desert.

    But that’s not what legend & pop culture would have you believe...

  • Ransom: The Kidnapping of Kevyn Wynn

    Ransom: The Kidnapping of Kevyn Wynn
    Nov 5 2024

    It was the summer of 1993 when Las Vegas casino mogul, Steve Wynn, was thrust into a nightmare that few people could ever imagine.

    In a brazen late-night plot that seemed to come straight out of a Hollywood thriller, Wynn’s daughter had been kidnapped…abducted from her own home and held hostage by two men, who were now demanding that wynn hand over a huge ransom.

    But this wasn’t just a simple ransom demand. The kidnappers were watching – or so they claimed. Every move was carefully calculated, every phone call laced with threats.
