This wacky 'Raymer robbed' story

[TajaUk]

The whole thing sounds really weird TBH

[pivotal]

im high while reading this and laughing my ass off. i cant see greg raymer ever fucking anyone up.

i havent read it yet, but that part of it that is quoted is hilarious.

i am not sure that i can see raymer fucking anyone up, but i figure he could hire someone to do it at this point in his life.

i have to assume that anyone who would attempt to rob someone outside a room in the bellagio is somewhat dumb/desperate to begin with, and that they didnt exactly have anything planned out.

they probably expected no resistance when they pulled out the gun, and when raymer resisted at all, they werent going to shoot him, so they split.

dumbasses. they should have at least known that he probably has a box in the poker room for his money. either that, or he busted out in the semi-big game (last time i was there he wasnt playing 4k-8k, he was a step below. probably 2k-4k, but i couldnt see the table limit)

one thing i will say, i personally think he was very stupid to fight back someone holding a pistol - he said hes a family man so why is he taking such a risk?. However, (and this is a contridiction - big time - lol !) a big part of me admires him for taking a stand against these a'holes. He didnt let them push him around

im going to vegas for the first time next june - surely the security in the casinos is tight as hell. How did someone get all the way into the hotel with a gun???

[eddo31]

honestly, the security isnt that tight at all. i was at the bellagio two weeks ago, and the only obvious security was for parking my car. there were other security guards around, but it wouldnt have been particularly difficult to sneak something by them. it would have been easy to get a gun in there, unless they have some sort of x-ray scanning device in each entrance, which i doubt.

in the 2+2 thread there is a lot of talk about how casino security isnt nearly as tight as you would think, and they are right. there may be cameras everywhere, but i think that they catch significantly less than you might think. the numerous travel channel shows about catching cheaters are presumably paid for by the caisno industry in order to discourage cheaters, and the cameras may be able to catch everything that goes on, but they surely dont actually catch everything.
