Between the robbery and the arrest, investigators said Carleo tried to live the high life, coming back home to Pueblo to party with friends and even returning to the Bellagio to gamble.
The Clark County (Nev.) District Attorney's office said Carleo didn't enter a plea on Monday and that pleas on felony charges aren't accepted in justice court, where Carleo was arraigned.
Instead, Carleo will eventually enter a plea in district court, where the case is progressing.
Carleo's attorneys did not take up the issue of bail either.
Carleo is being held on $15,000 bail on one charge and without bail on another.
