Theft from Stardust in 1992
In perhaps the most under-the-radar casino theft, a Stardust sports book cashier simply walked out the door of the now-demolished casino in September 1992 with an estimated $500,000 worth of cash and chips. The suspect, William John Brennan, has not been seen since.
At the time, it was considered the largest casino theft — classified as an unlawful taking of goods or money without the use of violence or threats.
Stardust employees described Brennan, then 34, as a clean-cut guy originally from Pennsylvania who kept to himself. Several days after the theft, a warrant was issued for Brennan’s arrest, charging him with a dozen counts of felony theft.
