Since Castle wasn't able to fly to New York City with all three airports bogged down with heavy snow, wind and ice. He was stuck in Nevada for where he could be gambling to his hearts content. Staying in an hotel near the McCarren airport. He decided to rent a car to take him to Las Vegas to gamble and see the shows.
One thing he didn't have to worry about is funds with having several credit cards, cash and two debit cards to use to work his way around the tables, shows and most of all food.
Taking his time with choosing his favorite casino to be the Sands having been around a long time. Driving his blue Oldsmobile to the main road leading to all of the casino's it was early morning. With the temperatures in the mid eighties, along with no wind. However it's supposed to be very humid in the afternoon.
He found the Sands casino with taking the side entrance to the under ground parking lot to park his rented vehicle. He wanted to find a space very close to the main entrance to take him to the first level, and hoping close to the gambling tables.
With the elevator opening up onto the first level. He was able to see that the floor was busy with gamblers and hearing the slot machine noises with those winning. He started to walk slowly to look for the tables with asking one of the employees to direct him towards the back of the casino.
"Thank you." He says with a bright smile to the young woman carrying a tray filled with drinks for the customers playing the slot machines on the floor.
"You're welcomed. Would you like a free drink of diet soda?" She asked with Castle confirming with her that he wanted it with being thirsty.
He walked away with drink in hand to look for the tables to gamble. When he arrived just about all of the tables were busy with the dealers at 15 tables, roulette, and others for the high price gamblers willing to throw their money away. He sat down at a black jack table with sixth others mostly women. He placed down his drink, while taking out his cash from his pocket to change it into the coins to place his bets. He was hoping to be able to win without having to head for an ATM machine.

Checking the computer terminal at the 12th precinct. Esposito and Kevin Ryan were able to come up with five possible names that might of been involved with the jewelry store heist.
They decided to call in favors with four of their sources on the streets. Even though in this case in-doors with the whipping winds outside and around the entire tri-state region. This was one of the biggest snow storms in years to completely shut down the city and outer areas. Even though the snow plows were working around the clock with exhausted crews to try and clean up the main roads, airports and emergency roads to have the police, fire and other emergency vehicles to get around.
One of those names on the list was Jericho Sanchez out of prison the past six months as with his friend Tomilian. This was a possible choice on who might of robbed the jewelry store. And if this is the case, it was going to be hard to head for his small apartment in the Bronx that was on file for when he was released from prison on Rikers Island.
