This is more of a funny story than crazy. I was working as a security guard a Louis Vuitton in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. One day this nice old lady comes up and she's eating a cheeseburger, so I kindly tell her that there's no food allowed in the store. She smiled at me and said "No worries." She proceeded to finish her cheeseburger in front of the store and chatting with these two huge dude in leather jackets she was hanging out with. The Louis Vuitton manager at that point runs over to me and whispers to me. "WHY DID YOU NOT LET HER IN???" I told her I'm just following store policy, and the lady didn't get mad or anything so I wasn't sure what the big deal was. "That's Celine Dion!" I looked at her. She had no makeup and was dressed like one of us commoners but sure enough it was Celine Dion, the two big dudes were her body guards. She's a headliner at the Caesars and was on a shopping break. She proceeded to enter the store, randomly grab just about everything that tickled her fancy and spent $200,000 in matter of 15 minutes.

I like the fact that she didn't act all entitled and stuff, more down to earth and respectful

Authorities in Las Vegas on Wednesday intensified the hunt for the person who robbed a cashier's cage at the Bellagio Hotel Tuesday and said they managed to locate the robber's car.
Capt. John Pelletier said they were looking for a white man who entered through the valet area of the Bellagio, and fled in a silver Chevrolet Cruze with a Nevada license plate that read 37D147.


There was no confrontation with security and no one was injured before the man drove away with an unknown amount of cash shortly before 4 p.m., Metro Capt. John Pelletier said at a news conference.


Actor James Woods was gambling nearby and witnessed the robbery.


"So we are playing poker at the @BellagioPoker and a guy walks up with a gun and robs the cage thirty feet from us ten minutes ago," Woods said on Twitter. "Bellagio staff were fantastic. They surrendered the money quietly, so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even realized it was happening. Excellent staff, cool under pressure."


The suspect arrived in a car in the valet area with another man who was there against his will, Pelletier said. He would not elaborate, but said police were interviewing the man.


MGM Resorts International owns the Bellagio casino-resort on the Las Vegas Strip. The company in a statement says it is cooperating with authorities.


The man fled in a silver Chevrolet Cruze with Nevada license plates, and police were looking at security video as they worked to identify him.


"Those that commit crimes like this on the Strip Will be hunted down," Pelletier said. "And whatever amount of money he got is not enough for a lifetime in prison."
Pelletier said that investigators are "comfortable and confident" they'll find the suspect, who is believed to be a white man who was armed with a handgun and wearing a mask. Police said he was also wearing a wig and glasses, and escaped in a silver Chevrolet Cruze with Nevada license plates.

this almost looks like someone I know that lives in Las Vegas ... but this guy is heavier than the guy I know
then again I haven't seen him in like 2 years.

When they find him, and if his name starts with a "S" then it's him. If true it would be very Sad
