Police say the suspect walked into the Rio and began taking chips off of a gaming table. When the dealer at the table tried to stop him, he pulled out a gun. The man did not fire the weapon and no one was injured, reports the station.

He then grabbed the rest of the chips and walked out the door to a taxi cab. The cab driver says the man did not use his gun or act suspicious in any way. He asked to be taken to the Terrible's Casino at Flamingo Road and Paradise Road, paid his fare and disappeared

Looks like the Bellagio Robber has started a trend. Maybe this guy didnt hear the last guy to do it was caught. And had a bigger take.

These are increasingly desperate times. Crimes of all kinds are up all over the country. We had a local woman on Monday do 10K worth of damage to a tow truck office because she didn't want to pay the towing and storage fee. Now she's in jail and can't make bail. You wonder what goes through some peoples minds.

I'm a regular at the Rio in their poker room and Diamond Lounge, so I'll keep y'all posted.

They are but a lot of the crime I think is because people expect an easy life and all problems to be solved in no time, like a TV show or movie. Before this recession the last really bad one was 1982. So anyon e under 30 or so never saw a bad economy. They do not know how to react and survive it out.
