The cashier gave him an unspecified amount of money. He then left the casino in a taxi.<\/p>\n
Following the theft, the cashier was crying and shaking, according to a social media post on Vital Vegas<\/em>. More details on the robbery have yet to be released.<\/p>\n\n
When appearing in Las Vegas court on Thursday, Judge Elana Lee Graham directed Al Jarmi to be held without bail, KLAS<\/em> said. He is in the Clark County Detention Center and will return to court on Nov. 22.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nResorts World is located at 3000 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The $4.3 billion integrated resort opened in June 2021.<\/p>\n
Prior Robbery Details<\/h2>\n
The earlier casino robbery took place two years ago at The Venetian Las Vegas. Because of the latest charges, Al Jarmi faces a violation of probation charge, too.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Al Jarmi passed a note to a cashier at the cage at The Venetian.<\/p>\n
\n
The 2020 note said, \u201cBe quite [sic], we know where you live, don\u2019t use the police alarm, wait 15 minutes, we are watching you, no dye pack, no traced money \u2013 now $15,000 cash,\u201d KLAS<\/em> revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAl Jarmi was given money and fled the casino. He went to his vehicle that he left in the casino\u2019s garage and drove away.<\/p>\n
He was seen in surveillance video, even though his face was covered with a scarf and sunglasses. Later, he was arrested.<\/p>\n
He told police two years ago he was working as a ride-share driver and poker player. He had lost a job. He said at the time he was seeking asylum in the US.<\/p>\n
\n
When appearing before a judge for the 2020 robbery, Al Jarmi was given a suspended three-year sentence, KLAS<\/em> said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nIt meant he would stay out of jail unless he violated the terms of the suspension.<\/p>\n
Gold Coast Theft<\/h2>\n
In an unrelated incident, a solitary bandit reportedly robbed a cashier\u2019s cage at Gold Coast Hotel and Casino<\/a> on Wednesday afternoon. Initial reports didn\u2019t reveal how much money was taken, but Vital Vegas<\/em> later reported the amount stolen was about $30K.<\/p>\n\n
The holdup took place at about 4:30 pm. The robber was described as a black male. He was wearing a white mask and black clothing at the time of the holdup, KLAS<\/em> said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe suspect hadn\u2019t been apprehended as of Wednesday evening. It wasn\u2019t clear if the robber was armed with a weapon.<\/p>\n
The casino is located at 4000 West Flamingo Road in Las Vegas, about a mile from the Las Vegas Strip. The Gold Coast Hotel and Casino is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
