The Hells Angels at Harrah's used their cell phones to ask for help from the other Angels still at Hilton. According to witnesses, David "Monty" Elliot of the
Anchorage chapter told the other Angels "what choice do we have?" while another shouted "let's mount up!" The Hells Angels rode over to Harrah's. Gary Hood of the Vegas police recalled: "they jumped off their bikes in this area and ran into the entrance". A guest, Jeffery King, who had just arrived in the front lobby to check in was told by the Angels who stormed in: "Better get the fuck out of here because trouble is about to start!" Leading the Angels were Raymond "Ray Ray" Foakes, the sergeant-at-arms of the Sonoma County chapter. Sher and Marsden wrote: "The Angels acted with military precision, a small group acting as sentries around the bar". At about 2:16 AM, the security cameras recorded that Foakes kicked a Mongol in the chest, which started the brawl. The Mongols and the Hells Angels fought with guns, wrenches, hammers and knives. A tourist, Kerry Richard, recorded the shots that rang out as: "Boom! Boom! Pop! Pop!" Richard saw a man bleeding from a gunshot wound trying to push his bikers vest with the Mongol patch behind the slot machines. Richard recalled: "Then it dawned on me that he wasn't a regular patron like myself, he was a Mongol and he was trying to hide his colors". Another tourist, John Davidson, took cover under the gambling table along with his chips worth $1,200 and had to pull down the blackjack dealer whom he stated: "She was screaming out of control". A blackjack dealer who had taken cover under the roulette wheel called her husband on her cell phone to ask if he was safe. The husband, who worked as a bartender, had taken cover under the bar and asked his wife in return if she was safe. She replied that she was, but that she had a corpse right next to her. Sher and Marsden wrote: "With little regard for innocent bystanders, the bikers went at each other like Vikings on a battlefield-and it was all captured on more than four hundred surveillance tapes". A Hells Angel, Cal Schaefer, was recorded by the cameras swinging a ball-peen hammer at two Mongols, to be followed by pulling out his handgun and firing several shots. Schaefer shot a Mongol, Richard Nolan, who had to be hospitalized. After a Hells Angel emptied a round from his handgun and was in the process of reloading, Buhr shouted at him: "Hey buddy, get out of the pit because if somebody starts to shoot at you, all of the rest of us are in danger! You're using us as a shield basically!" At another blackjack table, a wounded Hells Angel was dragged over to be treated. A Hells Angel, Rodney Cox, who was armed with a crescent wrench, told everyone else taking over: "This is my area. I'm protecting my friend here-go away!" When a Mongol approached, the blackjack dealer, William Southern, recalled: "He literally jumped up, ran after him, buried it [the wrench] in his head, and then turned around and ran back to watch his friend again". The leader of the Mongols at Harrah's, Roger Pinney, was surrounded by two Hells Angels who forced him to his knees while the Hells Angel Henry Leedom punched him in the face. The other Hells Angel, James Hannigan, grappled Pinney by his long hair with his right hand and stabbed in the chest twice with his left hand. Hannigan then approached a Mongol, Benjamin Leyva, who was fighting another Hells Angel. Hannigan plunged his knife into Leyva's left shoulder. As Leyva stumbled away in pain, he was shot by Schaefer. Levya took bullets to his elbow, back and stomach. The security cameras recorded the Mongol Enrique Muñoz staggering out from the casino bleeding from a bullet wound in his chest. Joining him were his fellow Mongols Davey Carmargo who had a bullet wound in his leg and Anthony Salvador Barrera who had been stabbed in the chest. An eyewitness testified before the grand jury: "Every door out of the place had blood trails". A Mongol, Anthony Barrera, 43, was stabbed to death, and two Hells Angels, Jeramie Bell, 27, and Robert Tumelty, 50, were shot to death. This was the first time that there were multiple murders in a Nevada casino. The brawl was seen as a victory for the Hells Angels. Sher and Marsden wrote: "And while the Mongols fled, stuffing their vests in garbage cans and air vents to avoid being identified by the police after the battle, not a single Hells Angel took off his colours". ==Aftermath==
