February 22 - 24, 2008                         Murder Mystery Weekend:   Murder in Sin City
          Secrets, Scandal & Sinful Behavior. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

It has been a year since the 'Paramount Casino' has changed ownership and Ronald Trump, the new owner is ready to celebrate!

As the largest and most extravagant casino on the Las Vegas Strip, the 'Paramount Casino' is throwing a party of epic proportions. With the highest rollers and the gustiest gamblers, the stakes are going to be high and there is no limit to what could happen.

Everyone who is anyone in Vegas is sure to be in attendance for this grand event. From the powerful politician to the sexy show girl, the cunning cocktail waitress to Elvis himself - the guest list is as unlimited as the possibilities of how the night will end.

Like everything else in Vegas, the party will be a gamble and there is no certainty to the events of the evening. Whose secrets will be exposed? Which lies will be uncovered? And who will fall victim to the lawlessness of the night? Your bet is as good as ours.

Be prepared for a sinister evening is a city known for its secrets and its scandal.
(If this sounds like you... we hope you'll join us. This weekend is NOT for folks who play by the rules. Bribery and blackmail are encouraged.)
