Friday, Nov. 13, 2009 | 11:26 p.m.
Cannery
North Las Vegas Police are looking for two men who robbed the Cannery Hotel and Casino's sports book at gunpoint about 2 p.m. Friday.
The men entered the Cannery at 2121 E. Craig Road and lingered in the sports book for a minute. They then both jumped the counter, forcing employees to the ground, police said.
The two men began transferring an undisclosed amount of money into bags and then ran out of the casino, police said.
They got into a light gray or beige early 90s Oldsmobile sedan with a dent on the driver's side and missing molding on the driver's door, police said.
Witnesses provided police with a partial Nevada license plate — 675V.
Nobody was injured during the robbery, police said.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555. Cash rewards of up to $2,000 are offered for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of persons responsible for felony offenses.

Locally owned and independent for more than 50 years.
Crime rate is to pull up, it was clear. Valet parking will increase business as casino visitors fear being robbed out in the parking lot. Casinos will have difficult times and raised costs on security staff to fight such criminal activities as otherwise they will lose even more customers. I don't know if it's a good idea to walk through a parking garage such as the Sahara or perhaps the Stratosphere Tower in the middle of the night and counting out your cash winnings on your way to the car these days....
I gave the East Side Cannery a try, not once, not twice, but three times. Each time was several months in between. They never got the food right, the service was bad and never improved and the clientele in the sports book was scary. Im surprised there was never a shooting there. The former GM was never available. The staff didn't even know who the GM was. They paid lots of money for the place and give it little to no attention. The owners are good guys but have definitely allowed this place to tank.
it's too bad liberals let these people walk the streets.
vote safety.
vote family.
vote republican.
Vote family: Ensign and Gibbons?
Stevem, your pathetic Republican ways are what got our country into this pile of crap in the first place. Blame your pathetic administration.
stevenm is incapable of an independent thought. He gets his opinions each day from listening to Rush.
Got news for ya Doc Holliday - you want to place blame - put it where it rightly goes - to the bailout KING. Poor economic times mean crime escalates and I got news for the idiots out there looking for easy marks-the Northwest is NOT where the money is! Considering that there are cameras everywhere these days, so the boneheads who pulled off this crime WILL do the time and will get caught. Right now, Doc, I blame the pathetic administration we've got right now and all the stupid idiots who voted for him because they BELIEVED what he said. Now, they're changing their minds. Especially since they figured out that Barack Hussein Obama wasn't going to MAKE their house payments, he was going to TAKE their homes instead! LOL
The vehicle described is like 75% of all vehicles owned in North Las Vegas.
truth hurts, libs.
you liberals are so soft on crime that we're just letting these criminals in and out of jail over and over again.
you would have a much safer america if there were no democrats. we'd have no child molesters or rapists living next door to you.
they'd be killed, like they should be.
haha...
and yes...me voting republican was the reason these animals robbed this place.
lol...
typical moronic liberal "i'm a victim" statement.
These 2 guys should have partnered up with the guy that robbed the Quizno's. Could have had a good parley and sandwiches!!!!!!!
What was the over and under of The Cannery Sports book getting robbed????
Burrito,,,I think it was under 2 and over 1...Sounds like an inside job....Maybe it was those kids busted at the bustop....WIN; the robbers PLACE; Cannery sports book SHOW: Keystone Cop security squad.....
yea place the blame on the dems, but last time I checked the same laws exicts from when bush was in office.REp or retards allwas placeing the blame on somebody else all the rep do is rob paul to pay peter,then place the blame on the dems for all there mistake.The rep had the office for 8 whole years,Now look where we at now!!!
I'm a registered independent and my vote goes to who I think will do good for the good old USA. I felt good when I voted for Obama but I am slowly losing all the confidence I had on him for his spending and accumulating trillions of deficit by giving stimulus money to the big companies who kept it to themselves. I know we will be paying for these expenditures by means of higher taxes so the big business executives can have their huge bonuses. This sucks and next election, I will be voting for anyone not connected to Obama.
well at least they'll have the money to replace the missing molding on the driver's door.
it's probly a stolen car..
