"Don't Go to the Lakers": We Unraveled the Case of the Mob Hit That Saved Vegas

Pablo Torre Finds Out·Apr 2, 2026·45:23·failed

About this Episode

When the body of a Vegas power broker showed up in the back of a Rolls Royce in 1979, the new sports capital of America was born. Why the hell did superstar UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian's guy really get whacked? Correspondent Sean Carey unearths police reports, a thrown fight against Sugar Ray Leonard... and a bag man on the skim who re-legitimized Sin City — and proves HBO's hit show wrong.

(Additional reporting by Kris Belman)
