Bellagio robbery | $1.5 million in chips Stolen
|Police say they’re trying to find a helmet-wearing gunman who robbed one of Las Vegas’ most recognizable casinos of $1.5 million in casino chips Tuesday morning — and may also have robbed a different casino last week.
With a helmet and visor hiding his face, the man rode to Bellagio casino on a motorcycle, walked inside and pulled a gun at a craps table where several people were gambling at about 3:50 a.m., said Lt. Clint Nichols of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The gunman told everyone not to move, and then took the casino’s supply of chips “that were … [in] the box they keep on the craps table,” Nichols said.
