Gunman at Bellagio - Page 3 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

If I'm not mistaken, there's a big gap between the haves and have nots at Bellagio. There's the dealers who have been around for years, who are grandfathered into things like benefits and health insurance. Then there are the newer dealers, who don't get benefits and lower pay.

The big gap is hours in the box.

If you get 5 good shifts, you can be dealing and getting tips 30 hours a week.
If you get just 3 bad shifts, you can be dealing and getting tips just 15 hours a week. If you are forced to deal tournaments, even worse.

The Bellagio criminals have gotten caught easily in the past because they were just dumb. But then again, the smartest criminals probably aren't likely to commit a crime that will get this much attention, and in an area with that many cameras around.

There was a Bellagio reg from the 1-2 and 2-5 games almost a year ago that faked his own kidnapping, and his two accomplices were shot and killed and he is facing serious charges.

Never mind

Jeez how stupid are people to try this. This guy won't miss almost 20% of his pot.

So did only one of the three robbers get caught ? Or did they all get pinched ?

Why would the woman not get her $100 back? That doesn't make any sense. Pretty crazy a 2p2er was at the table in the middle of his blog to report on this.

Because that's not how it works?

The lady got very lucky if security took the chip from the dealer and handed it back to her after she filled out some paperwork. If she was less lucky, security called police and the chip ended up as evidence in a crime. That means way more hazzle and paperwork to get it back eventually.

I must be missing part of the story; how is it a dick move to out an employee that steals from customers?

punishment should fit the crime, if that person has already been fired and humiliated maybe they don't need to get torched online too

Agree with augie; additionally, it naturally sort of works out. If you are a regular in the poker room or other poker rooms around town; you will end up hearing who it is. If you are not a regular, then you probably don't know who the woman is, and you won't be able to easily find out.

It's also just hearsay and no one is 100% sure if she actually did it.

Do you think the guy with the pig mask squealed on the rest of the gang?

True, YMMV.

Friend of mine reported his bike stolen. Couple weeks later another friend notified him that he saw the bike locked to a pole. He went there, confirmed it was his bikes and called the cops. They broke the lock and took the bike. I think it took him at least 1-2 weeks and a couple calls until he could go there and pick it up.

Anyone posted this update yet?

http://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/r...was-threatened

Cliffs:

- pig boy claims he was forced to do the robbery by people in Mexico threatening his family (cool story, bro)

- they left the keys in the car, and a witness saw this and took the keys since four guys with masks and sledgehammers is kind of suspicious

Yea. The casino should give the lady the 100$. Ok so the chip is confiscated for evidence. So what? That means the casino is just pocketing the hundy behind that chip.
