StumbleMan sought in robbery of Las Vegas Strip casino
Metro Police today release surveillance video images
Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009 | 2:46 p.m.
Metro Police today are asking for the public's help in finding a man caught on videotape during a robbery last week at a Las Vegas Strip casino.
The man walked into the high limit slot counter about 3:05 a.m. Friday and demanded money from the clerk, police said. The man then left the casino with an undisclosed amount of cash.
He was last seen running to the parking lot of a nearby hotel and fleeing on a red sport motorcycle, police said.
Authorities today weren't identifying the casino.
The man is described as white, 5-foot-10-inches tall with a muscular build, wearing a black Ed Hardy-type baseball cap, a long-sleeved, white Affliction shirt, shorts, black or brown shoes and carrying a dark gray, single-strap book or computer bag.
An earlier hotel security photo shows the man wearing a long-sleeved black shirt.
Metro detectives are asking anyone who knows the man or his whereabouts to call the Metro robbery section at (702) 828-3591, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555. A cash reward may be available to anyone providing information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Clearly different guy in first photo than the last two.
why dont they name the casino ?
Facial recognition exists today and he will be caught. It's only a matter of time. This guy will enter an airport, renew his driver's license, or enter a public building where used. Crime doesn't pay unless you're a white collar criminal working with stocks, bonds, banks, or any other sector of the financial sector, then you've hit the lottery jackpot!
It's Mgm Grand from what my resources tell me.

Wasn't that several months ago? I remember hearing about a early AM robbery there involving a cycle, but it was quite a while ago.
Same guy pop the place twice?
Why ask for help if you're not gonna say where it happened DUMBASSES
Why do metro cops always ask for help a week after the crime occurs? These people are usually in another city by then.
This would have never happen back in the day' The last person that would have been looking for you would have been a cop.
I've never heard if someone robbing a casino and getting out the door.
The carpet and the tile would answer the question, plus the red cord cover it looks like, i'll send the guy from ch 8 with a sheet rock knife to take a carpet sample and have in analized.
The suspect looks like rush limpbaugh, but if he didn't take any drugs it can't be him,
Yes it was MGM and yes its the second time a robber escaped on a bike. it happens pretty often, next time you are at any strip casino look at the security guards and you will understand why people get away.
Caucasian male wearing non-gangster clothing...they'll never catch this guy!
Hopefully it was an MGM casino and the robber had a relative that died at City Center.
Guy's jacked. Look at his back in pic#3. Hopefully he's maximizing his last few days to weeks of freedom - with some Vegas girls!
All the undercover cops, inside the casino watching for slot cheats and this guy robs the cage. Go figure.
The majority of the Security has been layed off. Non essential employees...
I ll bet it was more like this guy hit a jackpot in the high limit area,and they couldnt stop him in time before they could get him to dump it back in.
Well at least he didn't leave a "carbon footprint." ha ha I made a joke
What are going to do? another white guy commiting crimes we need to send them all back to Ireland.. lol
Caucasian male wearing non-gangster clothing...they'll never catch this guy!
