Las Vegas is not called Sin City in vain. The shining lights and glory of show business is only the surface and underneath lies corruption and forbidden passions. No one in Vegas is what they seem, but someone in particular is hiding a bloody secret that is about to be revealed.
Las Vegas, 1950. Beautiful and mysterious ladies in their feather shawls, well-behaved gentlemen in their dinner jackets and angel-voiced performers with seductive looks in their eyes - that's the glamor of Las Vegas. In the smoky salons of the casino, the crème de la crème of the city and the most notorious businessmen of the underworld shake hands over Vodka Martinis - including you. A sophisticated evening takes on a sudden u-turn when a gunshot rings out in the casino. Jack Dixon, a private investigator beaten down by life, rushes to the scene, but it seems that he might need a helping hand. Or even a comforting shoulder. The City of Sins did not get its name for nothing, and the bottomless pit of temptations and greed has become the fate of many fortune seekers. However, one man tries to fight the system and seek justice for the victims of Las Vegas' corruption - as long as he survives the night himself. A delicious dinner and music exuding the spirit of the times, interpreted by a star artist, will accompany you into the whirlwinds of the golden era. Skillful storytelling takes the guests to the 50's Vegas casino atmosphere, and the evening's bloody plot twists provide a touch of excitement.

HOW THE STORY GOES
​
The show consists of four acts, and dinner can be served between the acts. The guests have also the opportunity to talk with the detective and other characters, examine the evidence physically and dig for additional information from a website during the intermissions. In addition, guests will be enjoying music performances by a star artist throughout the evening.
​
VENUE AND EQUIPMENT
​
For the show, a theater-like stage is needed, which can accommodate the actors, the artist and the musicians (the lineup can be adjusted according to the space in use). The show requires sound reproduction for musical performances, as well as voice reproduction for 5 actors and a technician to handle the mixing. A video projector and a screen or a large enough TV screen (that all guests can see) are needed for the intermissions. In addition, if spotlights and other lighting are used to create atmosphere, it is also good to have a separate lighting technician.

TIPS FOR THE SHOW
​
Parts of the show take place on the stage, but the actors spend time amongst the guests between acts, and interviewing them is encouraged.
We recommend bringing at least one smart device with charged battery and, if necessary, reading glasses. All the evidence is physical, but the evidence is also accessible digitally for your convenience.
In Murder Mysteries, sharing information and cooperation are the keys to success, and by the end of the evening, each group form their own theories.
Tuoni Studios’ host is always available if questions arise or help is needed. They can also give you background information, or tips and tricks for solving the case.
