Robbing a casino is always going to be a gamble. Some get away with it, but many don’t.

After the recent arrest of Dshante Styles, 33, of Las Vegas, in connection with the heists of six off-Strip casinos across Clark County, here is a look back at other casino ripoffs here in Sin City:

— On Jan. 8 of this year, Caesars Palace was robbed just before midnight. “Give me hundreds or I’ll shoot you,” the robber told a manager working in the main casino cage, a arrest report for James Booth said. Booth, 37, was nabbed just days after the robbery.

— On Nov 9, 2022, $6,000 was taken from the cage at Resorts World. Zubaid Al Jarmi, 25, was taken into custody on Nov. 16. According to reports, at the time he was on probation for a 2020 robbery of the casino cage at The Venetian.
