"An armed man on a motorcycle robbed a craps table at the Bellagio casino of $1.5 million in chips early on Tuesday, Las Vegas police said.
A police spokeswoman said the unidentified suspect entered the casino at about 3:50 a.m. local time, wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet, and walked directly to a craps table.
"He pulled a gun, told everyone not to move and took approximately $1.5 million worth of casino chips. The suspect then ran back out to the motorcycle and exited westbound on Flamingo Boulevard," the spokeswoman said.
Police believe the same suspect may have robbed the Las Vegas Suncoast Casino poker room cashier last week using similar means.
The suspect was described as a white male carrying a handgun and last seen wearing a white motorcycle helmet, black down jacket, black pants and black gloves.
His motorcycle was described as a 2009 or 2010 black sport bike."
Not quite the amount of Ocean's 11, but this guy definitely has some style. Apparently robbed a smaller casino on Dec 9th of $20k. Maybe a test run?
