See it while you can. Because nothing in Vegas lasts forever.
On the surface, there were clowns, midway games, and a circus tent where kids played. Behind the scenes, mobsters like Tony “The Ant” Spilotro operated out of gift shops, money moved in shadows, and Circus Circus became a symbol of Vegas’ split identity: wholesome by design, but mob-tied at its core.
This tour uncovers the true story of a casino caught between eras — the Rat Pack’s Vegas fading away, the megaresort age on the rise, and the mob still pulling strings in the middle.
