The Bellagio Robbery

Recommended Posts

I've played late at night in the Bellagio poker room countless times. Walking around the casino at 4 or 5 in the morning there normally is not a lot of action. But it astounds me that a guy wearing a motorcycle helmet, holding a gun, and running through the casino after it was just robbed did not draw any attention. I know the area he was running in and its not a few feet ... this guy ran a fair distance.

BTW if you happen to have a $25,000. Bellagio chip you must cash it in by April 22nd. :o

I read today in the WSJ that the Bellagio is discontinuing the $25,000 chip because of this robbery. Players have until April, I think, to cash them in. After that they will be worthless. Won't be a problem for me though.. :ermm:

This has got to be one of the more stupid criminal blunders on record -- stealng a million plus $ in very large demonination chips from the only place on earth that will cash them. What did the idiot think these were, bearer bonds. I guess he figured he could fence them for a percentage. That is, unless the casino decided to call in all outstanding chips and replace them. Yeah, pretty stupid. Not your basic criminal mastermind. I guess he can always melt them down for the plastic recycle dollars. :pirate:
