First let me say that anyone who thinks they can get away with stealing casino chips and using them has lost their mind. Anyone who has a brain in their head cant possibly think this is really a venture they can get away with well the Bellagio is showing them that they cant

Good thinking on the casinos part. Plus, since they gave notice that they will be worthless unless they are redeemed soon just may be what it takes to catch the thief as he may hurry to redeem the more valuable chips and the casino will be on the lookout for those chips.

And like I said before, this person obviously had a dumbass attack when he decided to steal casino chips.

People are just straight up stupid I swear it. How in this world did they ever think that it would be a good idea to steal over a million dollars worth of casino chips? Idiots.

Well if they try to use the chips they will most certainly get caught. I hope they do.

I read about the chips being stolen before, though I am glad to see that those chips will soon no longer hold any value. I am surprised that someone was even able to get away with this in the first place.

Hopefully now that this has happen the casinos in Vegas will find a way to ensure that something like this never happens again and hopefully the one who did this will soon be caught and tossed behind bars where they belong!!

Here is a security clip of the robbery and as you can see for yourself there isn't much to go by in this video. So hopefully them making these chips worthless will help bring in the theif so that he can be arrested and tossed in jail.
