man who stole around $1.5 million in chips from the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas. The man who robbed the casino apparently wore a motorcycle helmet and it all went down in a matter of just minutes, much to the shock of those who were observing the scene. The man parked his bike outside of the hotel just before 4:00 am, keeping his helmet on with the visor down as he walked inside. He walked straight up to the craps table, pulled out a hand gun, and grabbed a box filled with chips before running back to his bike to make a clean getaway.

The robbery of the Belagio was similar to that of one that occurred at the Suncoast Hotel casino which is only around 20 minutes away from the Bellagio.

A man wearing a motorcycle helmet took around $20,000 in cash from a poker tournament that was going on that night. Police have not yet commented as to whether or not the two robberies are related; however there is quite a bit of speculation because of the striking similarity of the two crimes. The man who robbed the Suncoast Hotel Casino wore a silver riding helmet whereas the man that robbed the Bellagio wore a black one.
