And further, as demonstrated at the NYNY shooting, when bullets start flying, the security droids are the first to dive for cover under craps tables--it was left to a couple tourists to tackle the shooter. Casino security are unarmed and incapable of doing anything to stop armed assailants. It'll go something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueh_1PeJhaQ

This was a huge problem out here maybe a year or 2 ago. Numerous parking lot robberies at various casinos. Always valet with cash unless ur packin a burner and a pair of nuts
FYI, in the Las Vegas Review Journal comments on the event, some of the people noted that the bangers were also hanging out in the Buffet - which is in the area where poker players will be.
Vegas security (LOL) guards in the casinos don't get involved - even when somebody is robbing the casino - to much liability - they watch and call the cops - those are their orders from their corporate masters.
The WSOP parking is outside the convention area and not near the regular park it yourself lot. There is also valet at the entrance to the WSOP convention area as well as the front door to the casino.
But, I can tell you from experience that walking back to your room at the Rio at 2 or 3 in the morning - it is a long lonely walk and there are not many people around after you leave the convention area and before you get to the main casino. Of course you can avoid these problems - just bust out early.
I agree with one of the comment writers in thw Review journal, he said they should just book C&W acts and the gang problem would go away.
