Description	How did Jose's well planned heists turn out? Well, let's use the MGM Grand Hotel as an example. "The MGM, at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, is not only the grandest complex in Las Vegas with its 170,000 square foot casino, 6.6 acre pool complex, four thirty-story towers, nine signature restaurants, and 5,044 guest rooms. It is also the biggest hotel in the world. Jose and his boys stole more than $1.5 million in currency and checks from the main cashier's cage in TWENTY-EIGHT-SECONDS!! On April 22, 2000 shortly before dawn, Jose sat by the slot machines in the NEW YORK-NEW YORK HOTEL AND CASINO and waited for the hotels two armed guards to collect money from the gaming tables. He then jumped out of his seat in front of a slot machine and pulled his .357 magnum chrome revolver out, and said, "Don't move to one, and told the other one to "Get out of here!". "I guess the guards knew who I was. They froze." One of his crew appeared from the other side with his gun drawn, picked up the smaller cart, and placed it on top of the main dolly. Then they simply pushed the cart through the casino and out the door.
