Hilton take might have been $500,000

By John Katsilometes

According to one published report, a pair of thieves who robbed the Las Vegas Hilton this morning just after 6 a.m. might have made of with $500,000. KLAS Channel 8 has reported that figure, citing unnamed sources, but hotel spokesman Ira David Sternberg could not confirm the amount, only that the crime did take place this morning.
