The High Roller Heist

In the early morning hours of December 14th, 2010, Anthony “Tony” Carleo will walk into the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip adorned in a full motorcycle jumpsuit, gloves and helmet and pull a pistol, robbing a high stakes craps table of 1.5 million dollars in casino chips. This is the wild, “only in Vegas” true story of the guy who robbed the house, returned to the house and began living in it, like a king, for free.“Fun and addicting, kind of like gambling”– Paste Magazine, Most Bingeworthy Podcasts of 2024 (So Far)

    A podcast so awesome it should be in a vault.
    A welcome entry into the true crime genre. Instead of the grizzly details of a violent murder that often leaves me disturbed and sad? This is the anatomy of a crime that could have been carried out by any of us. Its relatable to the point where you could be talking about the folks in your friend group. Rather than shocking and horrifying the audience? We are taken on a daring adventure in such detail that I feel like an accomplice and I love it. Here for it. Here for all of it. Total gem of a listen. Infinity stars.

    Gripping and well done
    I couldn’t wait to hear the next episode. Binged this true tale of a famous robbery heist by a judge’s son. Well told and worth the listen.

  • MiansaM
    Great Storytelling!
    I was looking for a podcast to listen to while I am painting this 1000+ square-foot room. And I came across this one. It encompasses all the best parts of a great podcast-The story was really interesting. I’d never heard of it before & the storytellers had great voices and they kept me interested to find out more at the end of each episode. I would highly recommend.
  • ABeauty307
    Good Story
    Well done. Captivating! Thanks.
  • Dan Plagge
    Tremendous podcast
    This is probably the best podcast I’ve ever listened to, amazing to say the least! I listened to it in its entirety. Why in the world is this not a movie instead of a podcast is freaking beyond comprehension. I would love to see this made, but Hollywood wouldn’t probably do it justice anyway! What a story from his early years with so much history of Pueblo to Vegas. And then into his story of battling addiction, and another tragic story about the opioid epidemic and how messed up people would go to dealing with that whole addiction story and then to Epic Story about the heist of the Gold Coast and then to the incredible story of the Great Bellagio Casino Heist told in such detail and then then the Balls of this guy to go back to the Casino and how he gets to launder the money through the very Casino he robbed. The story is so brilliant that I can’t even imagine making this stuff up and the whole time you’re thinking I hope he gets away with this! And just the trueness of the gambling, as I am a big fan of gambling and poker. Not to mention the back story of the agents who captured him. Bravo, Martin Scorsese would be the only Director capable of bringing this to the big screen.

    Great podcast!
    I really enjoyed this podcast! The flow of the story kept me anticipating more. Really well done!
  • Tony365
    Fresh and shocking at the same time.
    Production was amazing, sound effects and cadence is fenomenal. Never been into this kind of story but it got me caught. Producer’s voice made it all worthwhile. The shock comes out of Tony’s tranquility and guts to face those events with such a character. I am in for next story from this producer/studio. Great job.
  • Liv Carrow
    A wild ride
    This podcast was a delight! well produced, gripping and exciting story, at times very funny and very sad, suspenseful, and stranger than fiction. Big love for this podcast, really gets into the psychology and logistics of a weird crime. I hope Cara and Tony and everyone are doing better.
  • Loconsd
    Great story
    While the drug use description can be sad at times, the story is fun especially when told in 1st person. The production is well done. Five stars for this one!

    Great Story
    If a podcast can’t catch my attention in the first 90seconds I don’t waste my time. But the narrator instantly caught my attention and this was definitely a great story/good listen
