Tony Carleo, known as the “Bellagio Bandit,” robbed the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in 2010 for $1 million in chips and then returned to cash in.
The story plays out in Rolling Stone, where reporter Keith Romer is listed as a friend of the now-inmate at Nevada’s Lovelock Correctional Center.
In the aftermath of a series of bad decisions, which include the Suncoast casino robbery, OxyContin, cocaine, a gun robbery at the Bellagio and returning to live the high-roller lifestyle, Carleo retells the story of his eventual capture.
