Steve Wynn once walked into his own casino at 10:30 at night and took $1.4 million in cash out of the vault. His wife had no idea why. In the video below, he tells the story himself. July 1993. Wynn gets home from dinner. His car phone rings. It’s his daughter Kevyn: “Daddy, I’ve been kidnapped.” A man takes the phone. “Do exactly what we say and we won’t kill her.” The orders: go back to The Mirage. Stand at the cashier’s cage. Wait for a call. You’re being watched. The cage phone rings. “Give me a million and a half.” He’s the chairman and CEO. He still can’t empty the cage on a Monday night without the whole casino noticing. The vault has $1.4 million in $100 bills. The kidnapper takes it. The cash goes into a shopping bag so heavy he carries it like a baby. His security guy leaves it on the front seat of a Mercedes. Doors unlocked. Windows down. Two hours later: “Airport. Oversized parking. Last row. She’s tied up in the back seat. Sorry to put you through this.” She was alive. The next day, one of the kidnappers put $130,000 in cash down on a red Ferrari. The dealer called the FBI.
