Immediately gripping and thoroughly harrowing, Storming Las Vegas is the story of a remarkable crime spree.

In the ultimate proof of “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” Veteran journalist and producer, John Huddy tells a story of a spectacular true-life crime spree, a story that was previously squashed so as not to disturb tourism.

On September 20, 1998, a Cuban-born, Soviet-trained former Red Army lieutenant named Jose Vigoa launched a series of raids on the Las Vegas Strip. During a 16-month spree, Vigoa hit five world-class hotels, three armored car, and one department store. The casinos were the MGM, The Desert Inn, the New York, New York, the Mandalay Bay, and the Bellagio. The city, in the midst of re-inventing itself as a family destination for tourists of all ages, proved surprisingly vulnerable.

Lieutenant John Alamshaw, a 23-year veteran in charge of robbery detectives, was ordered to stop the robberies at all costs. And he knew he was up against a mastermind. But what he didn’t know was that he was running out of time.
