Fitzgerald's casino robbed in downtown Las Vegas
The past couple months have seen some casino robberies by individuals, almost unheard of before the economic downturn.
This time, it was downtown Las Vegas' Fitzgerald's casino where a man (pictured above) approached the main cashier cage in the middle of the night/early morning yesterday, pushed a note to the cashier, walked away with about $5,000, then entered a cab and left.
He did not appear to have a weapon, and told the cashier that the robbery was "not a joke."
We didn't realize it was that easy to rob a casino.
Surveillance footage captured the incident on tape, and Metro is speaking with eyewitnesses -- including the cab driver.
If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
