What makes the vault security system particularly challenging to breach?

Transcripts
what did you guys get a group rate or
something
so do you make it out to Utah much not
as often as I'd like I think you should
check it out
think you dig Provo I think you could do
very well there gentlemen welcome to Las
Vegas
buddy Eaton good everybody sober close
enough all right before we get started
nobody's on the line here yet what I'm
about to propose to you is both highly
lucrative and highly dangerous that
doesn't seem like your particular brand
of vodka
help yourself as much food as you like
and have a safe journey no hard feelings
otherwise come with me
your Barbie Caldwell's kid huh
from Chicago yeah it's nice there you
like it yeah that's wonderful
get my goddamn house
gentlemen the 3000 block of Las Vegas
Boulevard otherwise known as the
Bellagio the Mirage and the MGM Grand
together there are three of the most
profitable casinos in Las Vegas let me
see this is the vault of the Bellagio
it's located below the strip beneath 200
feet of solid earth it safeguards every
dime that passes through each of the
three casinos above it we're gonna rob
it smash-and-grab job huh
slightly more complicated than that oh
yeah this is courtesy of Frank Kenton
new blackjack dealer at the Bellagio
okay bad news first this place houses a
security system that rivals most nuclear
missile silos first we have to get
within the casino cages which anybody
will tell you it takes more than a smile
next through these doors each of which
requires a different six digit code
changed every 12 hours past those as the
elevator this is where it gets tricky
the elevator won't move without
authorized fingerprint identification
which we can't fake and vocal
confirmation from both the security
system within the Bellagio and the vault
below which we won't get furthermore the
elevator shaft is rigged with motion
detectors meaning if we were to manually
override the lift the shafts exit would
lock down automatically and we'd be
trapped now once we get down the shaft
though then it's a piece of cake just
two more guards with Uzis and the most
elaborate vault door ever conceived by
man any questions
well the way so these are volatile don't
you know tunneling is out there sensors
monitoring the ground a hundred yards in
every direction if the groundhog were to
nest there they know about it anyone
else you said something about goodness
yeah the Nevada Gaming Commission
stipulates that a casino must hold in a
reserved enough cash to cover every chip
at play on its floor that means on a
weekday by law it has to carry anywhere
between 60 and 70 million dollars in
cash and coin on the weekend between 80
and 90 million on a fight night like the
one two weeks from tonight the night
they were gonna rob it 150 million
without breaking a sweat
now there are 11 of us each with an
equal share you do the math exactly I
have a question mm-hmm
say we get into the cage and through the
security doors there and down the
elevator we can't move and pass the
guards with the guns and into the vault
we can't open without being seen by the
cameras oh yeah sorry I forgot to
mention that
yeah well say we do all that we're just
supposed to walk out of there with a
hundred and fifty million dollars in
cash on us without getting stopped yeah
oh okay
