Harvey’s Casino Stand-off: The Insane True Story (Documentary)
August 26, 1980, a routine graveyard shift at Harvey’s Hotel and Casino quickly spiraled into a nightmare when an enormous bomb, disguised as a photocopier, was discovered on the second floor of the building.
Accompanied by the bomb was a chilling ransom note that sent the FBI into a frantic scramble against an undefeatable bomb. What followed was an intense standoff and a bizarre series of unfortunate events. This is a short documentary about the insane true story of Harvey’s Casino bombing.

    Missed telling the incredible story of the navy rescuer guy Paul - who jumped in after the man who fell 200 ft into the water, swam to him, got him to a lifeboat that had been launched by a nearby ship, then swam back to the sinking Oceana, climbed up cutting up his arms in the process, and continued his rescue operations.

    I also believe the casino was fully demolished a few weeks after the attack because of the casino being structurally damaged beyond repair. It was then fully rebuilt with the current more modern exterior glass style.

    My grandparents worked at Harvey’s, the arcade was my babysitter. Here are a few points that are rarely discussed in the coverage of the Harvey's Bombing. The owner, Harvey Grossman, had for years, wanted to renovate his hotel, but due to the influence held by his competitors (Namely Harrah's, across the street from Harvey's) Harvey was repeatedly denied the permits required. So the bombing was actually doing Harvey a huge favor by having the bomb destroy the casino, so not only could Harvey update and expand, but also finance it with insurance money that also compensated him for lost income during the rebuild. After the bombing, my grandparents took their compensation packages and we moved to Idaho.

    A friend of mine was in Tahoe that weekend and witnessed the blast. His standing joke for years was that he didn't know slot machines could fly! I was up there the next weekend and saw the damage to the front entrance. Surprisingly the casino was open! So I spent some time slinging nickels in the one armed bandits next to a gaping hole in one wall of the casino covered by large drapes!
