Anthony Carleo, 30, has been sentenced to 3 to 11 years for the brazen $1.5 million robbery of the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas. 

Carleo stole $1.5 million in casino chips during the armed robbery, which lasted approximately 3 minutes.  He wore only a motorcycle outfit and helmet then escaped on motorcycle.

The son of a Las Vegas judge, Carleo plead guilty in June.  Eight other felony charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.
