If you’ve been to the Hilton Superbook in Las Vegas you know how convenient that back parking lot entrance is.  A team of two robbers and a getaway driver took advantage of the accessibility with a 6:15AM Friday morning robbery.  Wearing motorcycle helmets, and brandishing handguns, two of the thieves went up to the counter and had hopped in the waiting getaway vehicle less than a minute later with a reported $570,000.

I wouldn’t think that a sports book would have that kind of cash handy before they even opened in the morning.  Nor would I think that someone behind the counter could produce that kind of cash so quickly, even during peak hours. Clearly this brilliantly executed heist was perpetrated by people with intimate knowledge of the operations of the sports book.
