LAS VEGAS — A tipster told police the suspect in a $1.5 million heist of a Bellagio craps table had mused about pulling off the dramatic stickup and said he would get away with it by selling some chips and slowly gambling away others, according to a police report.
The police document says the tipster tried to provide a reality check to robbery suspect Anthony Michael Carleo by telling him, “Dude, you watch ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ too much. This is real life and that doesn’t happen.”
Instead of listening, Carleo, a former Pueblo resident and the son of a judge, went ahead with the holdup.
