An armed bandit escaped Tuesday on a motorcycle after stealing at least $1.5 million in casino chips from the posh Bellagio resort and may have pulled a similar caper across town less than a week ago, police said.
The culprit, however, might find it hard to redeem his loot at any other casino except the high-end, Italian-themed hotel-casino that features a wall of famous fountains along the Las Vegas Strip.
The 3:50 a.m. robbery at a craps table happened “about as quick as you can do it,” when a man wearing a motorcycle helmet pulled a gun on patrons, police Lt. Clinton Nichols told The Associated Press. [More]
