Woman jailed over stealing $60k from her date at casino hotel

A 27-year-old woman, only identified as H.M., was arrested and charged with theft and grand larceny after allegedly stealing $60,000 from a man she was on a date with at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

According to reports, the couple met on the online dating site “Seeking Arrangement.” The man, who was 30 years older than the suspect, agreed to pay her $2,500 in exchange for two days and nights of companionship.

While vacationing at Caesars Palace, the man kept in his hotel room safe $7,000 in casino chips and $50,000 in cash.

During a U2 concert at the Sphere on the second night of their stay, the woman fled the room, claiming she needed to use the restroom. She never returned, and when the man called her, there was no response.

He asked that Caesars block access to his room around 30 minutes after she departed. When he returned to his room, he discovered that everything he had, including the cash and chips, had disappeared from the safe.

Following her arrest, officers executed a search warrant at her home, where they discovered $5,200 in Caesars casino chips and $11,700 in cash. She is now charged with burglary and grand larceny over $25,000 but less than $100,000.

The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on November 22, 2023. Grand theft of this magnitude is a felony punishable by a prison sentence of one to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
