Episode Summary:
My Dark Path podcast explores the fringes of history, science, and the paranormal. This episode is a continuation of the “Vegas Field Trip” where stories of eerie happenings are explored as a backdrop following different tragic and fatal events in the past.
In this conversation, Thurkettle, Townsend, and Hodur explored hotel hallways, walking the floors of casinos ranging from some of the oldest to the biggest and most glamorous. Shared in this episode are more clips recorded by the team in the very places they were discussing in the pedestrian hallways around Bally’s, on the main floor of the Luxor, or in a restaurant in Binion’s.
Episode Highlights
About today’s conversation; More experiences of Thurkettle, Townsend, and Hodur in the dark tales of Las Vegas.
- The ghosts of Benny Binion’s hotel. La Palazza Mansion; The Death House
- Ghosts from the sins of corporations; the MGM fire disaster.
- The Curse of the Luxor
- A few Celebrity ghosts.
- Zac Bagans’ Haunted Museum
- Notes:
Three storytellers, Thurkettle, Townsend, and Hodur, rendezvoused in Sin City for a special My Dark Path field trip, recording clips of discussions had in key places surrounded by stories of supernatural happenings. The first clip was recorded in The El Cortez where the supposedly haunted room, 3300, sits in the historic wing our team was exploring. One of the biggest major criminal entities who made a fortune in driving the evolution of Las Vegas was Benny Binion; his hotel tells all about its ghosts. Despite being a convicted murderer and an experienced gambling hall boss even before his initial arrival to Vegas, there is a statue of Benny in Vegas today. His story started in Texas where he was born in 1904, but couldn’t go to school due to chronic poor health. Hence, Benny got his education by accompanying his father, a horse trader, on trips throughout the wild, wild west where many fellow horse traders also gambled.
As a teenager, Benny got more involved in the gambling business till he moved to El Paso where he began bootlegging and even committed murders, but walked scot-free based on his influence. When his destructive nature attracted attention beyond his influence, he moved to Las Vegas where he set up the Binion’s Horseshoe Casino, leveraging higher st
