Las Vegas Casino Loses Over $1M To Man Posing As Hotel Owner

Author Slone Terranella

Remember back in the day when we all used to play pretend as kids? From doctors to teachers, we’d all play ‘make-believe’ as different various characters and roles, but in the end, it was obvious to those around us that we weren’t actually the roles we were playing. Unfortunately for one Las Vegas casino, they fell for the ‘play pretend’ tricks, resulting in one man, who was posing as the hotel owner, stealing over $1 million dollars from the establishment. Ouch!

According to News 8 Now, the man, Erik Gutierrez, 23, was able to steal the funds by convincing Circa Resort & Casino’s casino cage over the phone that he was the owner of the property, and that funds were needed for fire safety equipment.

News 8 Now shares that the police wrote in court documents that the cage supervisor then transferred the money to Gutierrez, posing as the hotel owner, in four installments at different off-site locations, documents said. “The payments totaled $314,000, $350,000, and $500,000, plus three smaller deposits, resulting in a loss of $1,170,000 to the hotel, documents said.”

Ultimately, police launched their investigation and ultimately arrested Gutierrez at a gym on Sunday, June 18th. News 8 Now reports that the police were able to recover approximately $850,000 of the stolen money, but that as of last week in the writing of his arrest report, they did not know who had the remaining $314,000of the stolen money. If it suspected that a second man that was in the car with Gutierrez would have it, or at least know where it is, but the second individual had not yet been detained.

As for where the case stands now, police documents for the court reveal that Judge Amy Ferreira had set a $25,000 bail for Gutierrez and if he were to be released on bail, he would have to stay away from Circa Resort & Casino and the Fremont Street Experience all together.

Earn $127,000 A Year To Be A Billionaire's Dog Nanny

Are you looking for a new job? Do you absolutely love dogs, and believe they are a member of your family? If so here is your DREAM job.

If you treat your own dogs like royalty, this job’s for you. A billionaire in the U.K. is hiring a live-in DOG NANNY to take care of the family’s two dogs.  You can apply online.  It pays $127,000 a year!

The position, posted by Fairfax and Kensington household staffing agency, explains that the person selected would live with the family in Knightsbridge district in London and “provide unparalleled care and attention to the dogs, treating them as valued members of the family.”

According to the recruiter, this is the first time their agency has posted a dog-nanny job. Since going up just last week, the posting has already seen nearly 400 potential candidates.

You’d have to move to the U.K., and be cool with traveling the world, on their dime, every now and then  (I’m listening).  You can read the whole job listing here and apply online too if you are interested.

Here are the details:

1.  The family has two “beloved dogs” that require “top-tier care” and must be treated like “valued members of the family.”

2.  They’re looking for a live-in dog nanny.  So you’d be staying in their mansion, or some sort of guest house situation rent-free.  (Still listening)

3.  You’ll need to coordinate all vet appointments, keep detailed records of their health and medical history, and develop a, quote, “personalized exercise regimen” for each dog.  ( Pilates and a light jog?)

4.  You’ll need to accompany them on domestic and international trips, and arrange things like pet-friendly accommodations.

5.  You’ll be organizing “playdates” with other dogs and finding, quote, “enriching activities to stimulate their senses.”

6.  And you’ll also handle all the normal stuff that comes with having a dog.  Like feeding and bathing them.

The ideal candidate has lots of experience with dogs – preferably other RICH PEOPLE’S dogs. You also have to be willing to work irregular hours, like weekends and holidays.  And you need a driver’s license so you can chauffer them around to their playdates, appointments, etc.

George Dunn, the recruiter, says the person “would be not too big of a character and be good at blending into the background then popping out when required.”

If this is the job for you, apply here.

Here are the dog breeds that are actually considered ‘royal breeds.”

 

  • Pembroke Welsh Corgi

    Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s of the dogs in her lifetime. It all started with Susan. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi was a gift to the then-Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of King George VI, for her 18th birthday.

  • Jack Russell Terriers

    Your *now* favorite King – Charles –  is the longtime owner of Jack Russell terriers. In 1994, it became an international news story when Charles lost one of his beloved pups, Pooh, in the Balmoral forest. Sadly, Pooh was never found. One of his Jack Russells, Tigga, became somewhat of a canine celebrity in the ’90s, often posing with princes Harry and William in official family Christmas cards. He lived to be an astounding 18 years old.
