Nevada Casino Attracts a Bear of a Customer

Filed in archive Casinos on August 6, 2006

Its amazing who waltzes into casinos these days. For MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa, this customer had four legs, was furry and growled. A year old bear made its way into the casino and made its way through the employee corridors.

Eventually the bear found its way to the exit before losing any money.

The bear was spotted inside MontBleu by Fred Mueller, a member of the hotel's transition team who is a warehouse manager at the River Palms Casino Resort in Laughlin, Zeller said.

Patrick Basney, general manager to the hotel, said employees did get a laugh from the wayward bear but recognized the "need to secure our area a little better."
