Our sources say Red Rock Casino, owned by Station Casinos, was robbed on Nov. 12, 2021.
The robbery is believed to have happened between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. on Nov. 12.
No one was hurt and we understand the robber, a.k.a. “asshat,” remains at large.
Red Rock Casino Resort is in Summerlin, about 15 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip.
We first got wind of the Red Rock casino robbery after a guest saw the casino cage taped off, with significant police activity around the cashier area.
Our source says the thief got away with between $60,000 and $70,000.
The thief was in and out of the casino in less than 10 minutes and it’s unknown if the crook brandished a weapon.
We’ve been told an “inside job” hasn’t been ruled out by investigators.
When money was demanded, the cage cashier reached for a clip of cash that, if picked up, sets off an alarm. The thief apparently instructed her to not take that one.
The robber appeared to be very familiar with Red Rock, and escaped via an exit near the resort’s pool complex.
It’s believed the robber acted alone.
Station Casinos has been mum about the robbery, and it remains unreported by the media. (It's since been reported by a number of other sites, i.e. LV Review- Journal etc.)
Casinos tend to like keeping such crimes under wraps, of course.
We’ve yet to see a statement from Station Casinos about the incident, and also haven’t heard back from law enforcement about the robbery.
We trust this story will be reported by local media eventually, although we suspect there won’t be many details provided. Frankly, this whole situation has a very cover-uppy vibe. Yes, that’s the technical term.
There are probably concerns about copycat crime, or what’s known in law enforcement circles as “further boneheadery.”
Station Casinos is obviously insured for this loss, and we’re happy to hear casino staff put safety first, avoiding an altercation that could’ve resulted in harm to cage staff, security or casino guests.
Stay tuned for more should other details emerge.

And to take care of it themselves, in unpleasant ways, in the old days, anyway.
We played at the red rock Dec 08 and it snowed amazing to see palm trees and a resort pool deck dressed in the white stuff

... as in the perp ends up wrapped in a blanket in the trunk of a car before a long ride out into the dessert.
Someone robbing a casino is the ultimate irony. Who cares. What goes around comes around.
Just a little further west in California, stealing and theft are no longer crimes. People just help themselves to what they see at the store and don’t pay. Just a next step.
Back when acting was acting.
Maybe a rattle snake and a cooler as a lovely parting gift
“Red Rock Casino Robbed and Nobody’s Talking About It ($60K to $70K taken-possible inside job)”
$60k to $70k is a rounding error in Vegas...why should anyone care?
If this dude can pull off a $60k heist multiple times and not get arrested for killed, there’s money. Otherwise he shoulda gotten a CDL and made $100K+ hauling cargo — every year.
Reminds me of the freakonomics study on street drug dealers who make way less than minimum wage. MacDonald’s is the far better option.
Barzini!
That does seem like a rather small haul by Vegas standards. The average blackjack table probably take that much in on any given night.
Yep, or as Big Enos Burdette would say..."chicken sh t money"
I didn’t use a picture of the remake cast because it would have required to many pronouns for one reason
...or as any D.C. politician would say..."chump change"
LOL.
