Las Vegas Casino Alleged Thieves Stuff Stolen Watch, Cash Inside Their Vaginas

Two Las Vegas women are accused of stealing a luxury watch and around $6,500 in cash from a guest staying at Caesars Palace earlier this month.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police allege that Nikki Grandel and Staycee Johnson conspired on January 2 to rob a man who they were socializing with on the Caesars Palace casino floor.

After watching the man gamble and drinking alcohol together, the women allegedly convinced the victim to go back to his hotel room at the Strip property. Police say soon after the three were inside his Caesars Palace guestroom, the man discovered that he was missing a small bag containing a luxury watch and approximately $6,500 in cash rolled up tightly in a rubber band.

The women fled the room and into the stairwell after he questioned the whereabouts of his money and Rolex watch. The man immediately called the police, who were able to apprehend the two women moments later.

Genitals Examined

Las Vegas police explained in its report of the카지노사이트 incident that Grandel and Johnson first denied stealing anything from the man’s casino hotel room. After a pat-down didn’t find anything, police ordered x-ray examinations of their bodies, which turned up the items in question.

The x-ray revealed that a Rolex was stuffed inside Grandel’s vagina. The $6,500 “was found bulging out of Johnson’s pants.” She later admitted to stuffing the cash into her vagina, but the money fell out into her underwear. Both women were charged with grand larceny before being released on bail.

Grand larceny, or grand theft, is a charge of deliberately stealing someone else’s property that is valued at $1,200 or more. For property stolen with a value of $5,000, but less than $25,000, a grand larceny charge is a Category C felony. That comes with an array of potential penalties, including one to five years in prison, restitution, and up to $10,000 in fines.

‘Watch’ Valuables

The alleged incident at Caesars Palace is certainly not unique. Men visiting Las Vegas on their own have long been targeted by women who try to take advantage of them after luring the men to their hotel rooms.

In April, Las Vegas police arrested a woman who was later charged with tricking numerous men on the Strip into going back to their casino hotel room, where she later committed various thefts. Windy Rose Jones allegedly stole a $37,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch from a man on Feb. 21 at The Cosmopolitan. She is also accused of stealing a $45,000 Rolex Daytona watch from a different man on March 24, also at The Cosmopolitan.

In May, another woman — Ashley Trahan — was arrested and charged with carrying out a similar scheme that involved stealing a Rolex from a man staying at the Aria.

The trick isn’t specific to Las Vegas, of course. Similar schemes have been reported at casino resorts across the country.

In 2018, a New Jersey woman posing as a masseuse at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fl., was charged after allegedly stealing a $50,000 Patek Philippe watch from a man she tempted to his hotel room for a massage. The woman — Cassidy Reign Paris — was also accused of stealing $10,000 in cash and $6,100 in poker chips from the man.

Alabama Casino Advocates Intensify Campaign, Republicans Show Little Interest

A new year means a new legislative undertaking in Alabama바카라사이트 to bring commercial casino gambling to the southern state.  But the Republican-controlled legislature stands in the way.

The Alabama Track Owners Association, which owns four greyhound racetracks, and the Poarch Band of Creek Indians have teamed up for the 2022 campaign.

The goal is to convince lawmakers to finally allow voters to decide whether to authorize commercial casinos with slot machines, table games, and possibly sports betting.

The Poarch Creek Indians are the only federally recognized tribe in Alabama. The state has refused to engage in a Class III gaming compact with the tribe, therefore blocking its three Wind Creek casinos from offering slots and tables. As a result, Wind Creek Atmore, Montgomery, and Wetumpka only house Class II, bingo-based gaming machines.

2022 Effort

The Alabama Track Owners Association, through its nonprofit political action group “Alabama4Gaming,” this week unveiled a 30-second television ad that promotes the potential benefits of legalizing full-scale casinos. The group highlights the state approving $700 million in incentives in 2020 to bring a Toyota-Mazda manufacturing plant and some 4,000 new jobs to Huntsville.

Legislators have an opportunity to generate $700 million a year and create 12,000 jobs without spending any tax dollars,” the ad contends. “The equivalent of three auto manufacturing plants if they just let us vote on a gaming and lottery bill.”

The Alabama Constitution prohibits all forms of commercial gambling. To amend the state’s legal framework, a bill must first pass the state legislature with three-fifths majority support. The matter would then go before the people by way of a ballot referendum, where only a simple majority is needed for approval.

State Sen. Greg Albritton (R-Baldwin) says he will again introduce a commercial gaming bill during the 2022 session, which begins next Tuesday, January 11. The session is slated to run through April 25.

Albritton has been a stalwart supporter of expanding gambling in Alabama. He says his 2022 plan will mimic years prior.

Along with the three Wind Creek tribal casinos being allowed to become commercial entities with slots and tables, previous gaming legislation sought to allow the four greyhound tracks to pursue casino licenses. Those facilities are Birmingham Race Course, Greenetrack Bingo & Racing, Mobile Greyhound Park, and VictoryLand.

While Albritton is a Republican, his party colleagues in Montgomery are nowhere near as enthusiastic about casinos. The GOP has strong control of both the Alabama House and Senate. If Republicans rallied around casinos, the party has adequate power to legalize such gambling, as the GOP controls more than a two-thirds majority in both chambers.

The odds of that happening, however, are long.

The House Republican caucus unveiled its 2022 legislative priorities this week, and casino gambling was nowhere to be found. House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-DeKalb) opined that there simply isn’t enough support among the party to pursue gaming.

“I think at the end of the day, there’s just too many unanswered questions,” Ledbetter said.
