Join us for a murder mystery event unlike any other at the Carousel Rooms of the Circa Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
As you know, death follows Phryne Fisher wherever she goes, even into the desert. Bring your best detective skills to help Lady Detective Phryne Fisher and Inspector Detective Jack Robinson from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries solve an Egyptian themed mystery. Your ticket will include complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a 30 minute performance by a professional belly dancer, followed by a short group lesson for anyone who wants to join in.

Remember when rock bands actually sang? Little River Band does. Glenn Frey called them "the best singing band in the world," and decades later, they're still proving him right. These Aussie rockers racked up 350 million albums sold and chart-topping hits like "Reminiscing" and "Lady" that soundtracked first kisses and every road trip since.
Fantastic tunes, throwback vibes, and harmonies that hit exactly like they used to. See and hear for yourself.
