BOOM TOWN - A History Of Las Vegas Bombings
Monday Aug 14, 2023
Monday Aug 14, 2023
If you dig into the history of Las Vegas, you're going to find a lot of stories about crime. A majority of these stories involve the mob, organized crime, and their involvement in the casino industry & other illegal activities.
But if you go deep enough down the rabbit hole, you'll discover that every once in awhile, things in Las Vegas go "BOOM"...and that's what this episode of the podcast is all about.
I'm pleased to welcome back Meagan & Anthony Smith, the creators of Mayhem In The Desert, a true crime blog that shares the darker side of the history of Sin City. On the site, they take deep dives into the famous - and infamous - crimes that have happened in Las Vegas, stretching back across the decades.
One of the subjects on their site that caught my eye was the history of bombings in Las Vegas, and I thought I'd invite Meagan & Anthony back to share these stories. Some of them might be familiar to you...and others? Not so much.
Be sure to visit Mayhem In The Desert online and make sure you follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Also, check out & subscribe to the Mayhem In The Desert YouTube Channel.
