:wow:LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police are looking for an armed casino bandit who escaped on a motorcycle with perhaps $2 million worth of gambling chips from the posh Bellagio hotel-casino.

Police Lt. Clinton Nichols told The Associated Press the robbery happened quickly.

He says the bandit wore a full-face motorcycle helmet as he displayed a gun in a casino pit area then demanded chips and sped away on Flamingo Road on a black sport-style motorcycle.

Detectives are reviewing video and camera images of the robbery that occurred just before 4 a.m. Tuesday at the Las Vegas Strip resort. No shots were fired and no one was injured.

 

My question now would be - how the heck do you get ride of those chips - the person must have a lot of friends - LOL.

at $ 2 million they`ll cast another chip so that one cant be used ?

I just watched this report on the CNN news..

They said he got away with 1 million in chips.

 

Either way. he must of been riding a GW....

The Larger Casino's keep up to 5 "chip sets" on hand just for this reason. They will "Retire" that chip set, and it will be replaced with another design. A new chip set runs about $40,000.00 but that is small beans compared to 2 million. Basically, all the thief got was a Hellofa' POG collection! Ya' can't fix stupid!

Didn't look like he could with his BMI! Plus, if he's riding a Wing like Eck said,,,,,,,,

 

All I gotta say is look at the Wing riders in general!!
