Raiders receiver Javon Walker claims that gunmen appeared at his room at Bellagio, knocked him unconscious, robbed him, and then dragged to him a car and dumped him in the street.
The folks at Bellagio disagree.
“The facts that have been reported regarding the incident involving Javon Walker
are incorrect,” a spokesperson from MGM-Mirage, which owns Bellagio, told KVBC-TV in Las Vegas. “I am unable to provide further detail out of respect for the Metro investigation which is currently underway.”
KVBC also reports that Bellagio has more than 2,000 surveillance cameras that operate continuously inside and outside the hotel.
Meanwhile, a reader has shared with us some Vegas talk-radio rumor/speculation regarding the incident that makes sense. As the rumor/speculation goes, a couple of guys saw Walker spraying Dom Perignon on Saturday night, and then recruited a woman to cozy up to him and to get him to take her home, or wherever. Once outside, the robbers intervened, knocked Walker out, and took his watch and money.
