Vegas 'Robin Hood' Helps Needy

A modern-day "Robin Hood" is taking on Las Vegas' mega-casinos to help those affected by the rocky U.S. economy.

Calling himself "Robin Hood 702," he plans to pick a family to win a weekend in the high-rollers suite, including show tickets and spa treatments. He will also hit the tables with the winner and try and win them out of debt and if he loses, he will give them half.

"I'm going to win the person's house back -- their American dream back," he said. "I'm going to take the dark side that's associated with gambling and use it for good."

"Robin Hood 702" is keeping his identity secret so it does not distract from what the mission he wants to accomplish.

He will choose a winner will on Sept. 15. Entrants can submit videos through his Web site.
