My father in law was there tonight getting money from a cash machine. He noticed someone behind him too close in the casino and moved his back to block the guy away. The robber tried to swipe the money out of his hand (unsuccessfully) and my father in law started screaming. No one came to help. No security found the man who ran away.
Luckily nothing happened and yes this can happen in many places, but the lack of attention after the event and the lack of looking at video (and we all know video is available near a cash machine in Vegas) is not an adequate response. I feel bad as I have 2 rooms in the hotel for family over the Thanksgiving weekend. Maybe somewhere else next time.
