Sin City Gigolo: A Murder in Las Vegas First Look
Today, Paramount+ announced the new docuseries Sin City Gigolo: A Murder in Las Vegas, which follows the criminal investigation of a former Gigolos cast member who was arrested for killing a young female client, premiering exclusively on the platform on March 4.
The SHOWTIME reality TV series Gigolos took over Las Vegas in the mid-2000s and the hilarious hijinks of the featured five gigolos soon became a cultural phenomenon. But when one of the gigolos was arrested for killing a client in 2020, the boundaries between reality television and grim reality were shattered.
Sin City Gigolo: A Murder in Las Vegas takes viewers on a wild ride, documenting a vicious death while weaving together revealing scenes and footage from the Gigolos reality series, offering a unique perspective on Las Vegas, sex work, reality TV, stardom and a murder investigation.
When first responders arrive at the home of one of Gigolos‘ stars, they discover a bruised and bludgeoned body. As the gruesome details emerge, questions quickly arise about the identity of the victim, the Las Vegas Police Department’s handling of the investigation, and how the sequence of events surrounding the death unfolded.
What possessed a former reality TV star, who preached a mantra of love and light, to carry out such a brutal crime? Former Gigolos cast members, friends, family, and law enforcement weigh in on this tragic case. Was the price of fame just too much to deal with?
