Episode 84: Circus Circus – Las Vegas, NV

Noelle walks us through the hauntings of Circus Circus – Las Vegas, NV

1. Opened on October 16, 1968 on the Las Vegas Strip. (It’s the largest permanent big top in the world!)

2. Hunter S Thompson wrote about Circus Circus. (1970s classic “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.”)

3. Mafia Man, Tony Spilotro opens a gift shop at Circus Circus. (In 1974, the Los Angeles Times reported that in the three years Spilotro had been in Las Vegas, more gangland-style murders had been committed there than in the past 25 years combined!)

4. Also, in 1974, Spilotro was one of six men indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago in connection with defrauding the Central States Teamsters Pension Fund of $1.4 million. (Among the defendants was Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo!)

5. Ghost stuff! (Rooms 123, 203, 230, and 576! The kitchen – where three murders took place! AND. MORE.)

Sweet Dreams. XoxoZzzzzz.
