Bellagio robbery was not at all hard

LV security in casinos is very good. The Bellagio robbery was quite simple though. The metro police in LV explained that there was a 5-foot-10 inch tall man with a motorcycle at the valet. Around 4 a.m. Tues, he parked the motorcycle. He went to a craps table with his helmet still on and demanded chips with a gun. Then, the dealer handed him all the chips. There was about $1.5 million in poker chips given to him. The Bellagio thief quickly left the gambling house. He left on his motorcycle after getting the chips in his backpack.

Suncoast and Bellagio robbed by exact same mode

The motorcycle-riding Bellagio robber might not have started with the Bellagio gambling house. There was a man with a motorcycle helmet at Suncoast on December 9. He went to the cashier's cage and demanded poker chips with a gun. A black sport motorcycle was used in both robberies. The robbery at the Suncoast netted only about $20,000. The same individual is expected to have committed both crimes. Police say this is due to the pattern in both cases.

It appeared too simple for the Bellagio robbery

The security in large Las Vegas casinos is supposedly “legendary.”. This is leaving many individuals wondering how a man, seemingly working alone, pulled off 2 large robberies within the space of a week. It makes sense that the Suncoast robbery occurred the way it did. The security was focused on other things since there was a large poker tournament. The Bellagio robbery, however, was a simple walk-in and walk-out affair that netted $1.5 million worth of poker chips. Many want to know if the Bellagio robbery was more than it appears or if it really is that easy
