And just like that, it’s March and soon the days will be longer (for our US listeners!). I’m looking forward to warmer temperatures and being able to take walks and work on the deck again- and pickle ball! This coming Tuesday is Fat Day Tuesday. Here in Michigan we indulge in eating Paczki (a decadent Polish donut). I’ll post a picture. Do you celebrate Paczki Day where you are? Hope you enjoy visiting Las Vegas in these episodes. Thank you for your support!

Ted Binion was Las Vegas royalty—the heir to a casino empire with wealth, power, and a dangerous lifestyle. But when he was found dead in 1998, the city buzzed with speculation. Was it suicide? An accidental overdose? A mob hit? Or something even more sinister?

His girlfriend, Sandy Murphy, was devastated—or was she? While she claimed heartbreak, others saw deception. Was she a grieving lover or a scheming opportunist? And what really happened in Ted’s final hours?

Join us as we unravel the twists, betrayals, and shocking revelations behind the mysterious death of Ted Binion. Was justice served, or did someone get away with murder?
