A Las Vegas sportsbook employee allegedly bet he could rob his own workplace and get away with it — then made one catastrophically bad wager by returning for his next shift carrying nearly all the evidence, according to a stunning report.

The newly hired employee allegedly threatened staff with a knife while stealing roughly $28,000 from the William Hill Sportsbook at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas last week, local insider Scott Roeben reported on his VitalVegas blog.

The masked suspect fled with the cash, but surveillance footage exposed a glaring hole in his plan.

Cameras captured the employee entering a casino restroom before the robbery without a disguise and leaving the same bathroom wearing a mask, according to Roeben, who cited an inside source who’s familiar with the incident.

Although casinos generally do not monitor the inside of restrooms, cameras are otherwise pretty much impossible to avoid in Sin City. As such, investigators reportedly identified the suspected robber within about 12 minutes of reviewing the footage.

Authorities would not have to search far for him.

The employee allegedly arrived for his next scheduled shift at the sportsbook one day after the theft, according to VitalVegas.

Even more incredibly, he reportedly brought a backpack containing the knife, the mask and most of the stolen money back to the property.

He was then taken into custody, Roeben reported.

Authorities have not publicly identified the suspect, or announced what charges have been filed against him. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has not independently confirmed the details of the case.

Virgin Hotels declined to provide additional information, Roeben reported.

No one was injured in the alleged robbery.

Robbery is classified as a category B felony under Nevada law and carries a possible prison sentence of two to 15 years. An additional penalty could be imposed when a deadly weapon is used.

White House takes victory lap over New Jersey’s confession about thousands of non-citizen voters

WASHINGTON – President Trump’s administration is taking a victory lap after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitted more than 6,000 non-citizens had been added to the state’s voter rolls, doubling down on its call for a voter ID bill to become law. Trump and his staff have been pushing Congress hard to pass the Save America Act, which would require states to purge their voting rolls of non-citizens. “Democrats and their media allies have...

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s support of sprawling solar energy fields in rural upstate New York has caught the ire of three federal agencies — and one country music star — who are demanding answers about the state’s “rush” to approve projects “without fully accounting for their long term costs.” USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins and EPA Chief Lee Zeldin, along with country singer John Rich, have co-signed a letter skewering the Hochul administration’s...
