The Harvey's Resort Hotel bombing took place on August 26–27, 1980, when several men masquerading as photocopier deliverers planted an elaborately booby trapped bomb containing 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of dynamite at Harvey's Resort Hotel (now "Harveys") in Stateline, Nevada, United States. After an attempt to disarm the bomb, it exploded, causing extensive damage to the hotel but no injuries or deaths. The total cost of the damage was estimated to be around $18 million. John Birges Sr. was convicted of having made the bomb with a goal of extorting money from the casino after having lost $750,000 there. He died in prison in 1996, at the age of 74.

August 1980 hatten drei Männer in Harvey’s Resort Hotel (heute „Harveys“) in Stateline, Nevada, eine Bombe mit 450 kg Dynamit platziert, die durch mehrere raffinierte Sprengfallen gegen Entschärfung gesichert war. Geplant hatte diese Aktion der ehemalige Millionär John Birges. Birges wollte so das Casino erpressen und verlangte 3 Millionen Dollar (etwa 8,9 Millionen Dollar im Jahr 2018).
