Tour Preview: Where You’ll Go

Horseshoe Casino (formerly Bally’s)

The Horseshoe Casino may have been rebranded several times, but there’s no escaping its dark past. Once the pinnacle of opulence and extravagance for those looking for a luxury stay in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand resort, as the casino is formerly known, is now haunted by the spirits of the innocent souls who perished in a fire accident that razed down the building in 1980.

The Flamingo

Once owned by a notorious mobster, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, the Flamingo Hotel has a long history of spooky events and ghostly haunts. Guests and staff have reported eerie sightings of Bugsy’s apparition near the pools and the Presidential Suite, his soul forever trapped in the building he built with the proceeds of crime and mobster connections.

Planet Hollywood

The historic Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas, previously known as The Aladdin, has long been a magnet for fascination and fear, with a history steeped in glamour, tragedy, and unexplained hauntings. Guests and staff alike now report loud noises and eerie encounters on the infamous 7th floor—making it a top destination for history buffs and thrill seekers looking for a ghostly scare in the Vegas strip.

The Hauntings of Las Vegas

In the Entertainment Capital of the World, even the most dazzling lights and luxurious resorts can be a stomping ground for the sad souls of vicious mobsters seeking redemption in the afterlife. From the early days of the Spanish conquest to the rise of mobsters and Hollywood glitz, Sin City’s journey from the tranquil meadows to the mecca of debauchery is a wild ride through centuries of scandal, allure, and high-stakes gambles.

Back in the day, the allure of quick money and reckless glamor drew in desperate opportunists and shady characters who saw the potential of turning a desert oasis into a gambling empire. Mobsters like Bugsy Siegel saw Vegas as a gold mine for their illicit activities, while celebrities like Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra brought their star power to the stages of glamorous casinos and corridors of Las Vegas’s most prestigious establishments.

The tragic homicides at Circus Circus and the cursed MGM empire, where the echoes of robberies gone wrong and grisly murders still resonate through the halls, only add to the mystique and haunted reputation of Sin City. These wicked acts left behind a trail of cautionary tales of the high-stakes world of gambling and restless ghosts who would go to any length for a shot at fortune and fame.

 

The Most Haunted Places in Las Vegas, NV

 

They say you have to play big to win big in the Neon City, but you don’t have to do too much to uncover the city’s sinister secrets lurking beneath its haunted surface. From the inexplicable events at the historic Hotel Apache to the collection of spooky relics at Zak Bagan’s Haunted Museum, nowhere is exempted from the eerie hauntings in the Vegas Strip.

Even the fun and amusement at Circus Circus are overshadowed by the echoes of phantom noises and strange occurrences while the chilling mysteries and unexplained deaths at the Luxor Hotel continue to terrify guests and staff alike. Follow Vegas Ghosts on a ghostly adventure through Sin City and hear the stories of some of the most nefarious entities that roam the city’s neon-lit streets.

You Love a Good Mobster Story

Sin City never stood a chance of being anything but. The city was built on the evils of mobsters known for their ruthless ant ... ics and take-no-prisoners attitude. The bodies left in the wake of their destruction laid the foundation upon which you’ll walk. It’s undeniable that we have the mobsters to thank for some of the opulent casinos you see today, but they’re also responsible for the beleaguered souls that haunt them. If gangsters and mobsters are your thing, you’re on the right tour with Vegas Ghosts!
