The alleged crime happen at 5 AM when the victim was making his way back to Caesars Palace after a night of drinking and gambling. The man reported he was approached by a panhandler asking for change and while digging for coins he flashed a large wad of cash. The next thing he knew an unidentified woman with a gun ordered him into a waiting car.
Police say the man was robbed of his cash and beaten by the assailants, two men and two women, forcing him to give up his credit cards and passwords. The crooks also robbed his hotel room at Caesars while he was being held captive and fortunately both were recorded on video going into the room at Caesars.
We have great public security here in Las Vegas and the safety of tourists is paramount; but, visitors need to be aware of what's around them and where they are. Don't flash cash and don't wear expensive jewelry or watches when doing late night strolls of the strip. Safety in numbers is the best defense so share your Vegas visit with a friend or two.
