Raiders receiver Javon Walker claims that gunmen appeared at his room at Bellagio, knocked him unconscious, robbed him, and then dragged to him a car and dumped him in the street.
The folks at Bellagio disagree.
“The facts that have been reported regarding the incident involving Javon Walker are incorrect,” a spokesperson from MGM-Mirage, which owns Bellagio, told KVBC-TV in Las Vegas. “I am unable to provide further detail out of respect for the Metro investigation which is currently underway.”
KVBC also reports that Bellagio has more than 2,000 surveillance cameras that operate continuously inside and outside the hotel.
Meanwhile, a reader has shared with us some Vegas talk-radio rumor/speculation regarding the incident. As the rumor/speculation goes, a couple of guys saw Walker spraying Dom Perignon on Saturday night, and then recruited a woman to cozy up to him on Sunday night, and to get him to take her home, or wherever. Once outside, the robbers intervened, knocked Walker out, and took his watch and money.
For more on the situation (and for a little background for those of you who have been laying unconscious in the street for most of the week), here’s a PFTV segment.

Shamrock-I agree, hookers or drugs. He had to be f-up to come up with a story like that. How many of you would knock someone out if you (and maybe your woman) got sprayed with champaign? I know I would. What an idiot.

This is just another major victory for Shanahan in his war against Al Davis. As a Chargers fan, I hate to give Shanahan any credit. But he has gotten his revenge on Al Davis many times over. Wonder what kinda of champagne he popped open when he heard about this incident with Walker.
