The events depicted in this podcast took place in Las Vegas, Nevada between the years 1990 and 1993. In the interest of privacy, some names have been changed. In the interest of accuracy, the rest has been told exactly as recounted in the public record. 
In 1990, while the city of Las Vegas is on the cusp of being transformed from a fading gambling town into the mega-resort entertainment capital of the world, a Blackjack dealer at The Riviera suddenly finds himself the target of a mysterious police sting operation. For over a year, he'd be hunted, entrapped and ultimately indicted on 19 counts including Federal money laundering and drug trafficking charges. But conspiracies and questions swirl. What truly caused a seemingly innocent husband and father to be placed dead center in the crosshairs of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, the FBI and even the IRS? 
In 2015, Brad Raucci is hired to write the screenplay, but as the film is set to begin production, it's abruptly shut down by unknown forces. 10 years later, he gets a tip there's a lot more to the story than he ever could've imagined. Was it a police set-up? And if so, who were they really after?
From Scuffletown, the true story of the only guy in Vegas who, even after losing everything, still found a way to beat the house.  This is Lucky Larry.
