Nicole and her family were staying at Harrah's Tahoe, and while she was up zip lining at Heavenly on July 27, those in charge of Coco's care had her out for a walk. She slipped out of her harness, got scared and took off sprinting through the casino corridor along Highway 50.
Coco crossed the highway at MontBleu and ran down the driveway between the Hard Rock and Harveys.
