At 2:00 PM, a fire broke out in the White Sand's electrical room, and sent people panicking out. Around the same time, Adoha sustained a major power outage. The fire had damaged the casino's generators, so the casino's backup electricity was not functioning. Some time during the power outage, an group of people, presumably the Luciano Gang, broke in and made off with over $54,160,000 in marked US bills.
