There's a lot of good points here. Honestly, saying you have a good game idea is meaningless to many publishers. As most publishers will tell you, everyone's got good ideas.
It's a good idea, and you better get a jump on it and get a team together. One chance is to get your idea into a solid form (create it yourself) and then submit it to the Independent Games Festival, which is held during the Game Developer's Conference. Some game titles, such as Savage, started as an IGF entry.
The other thing is, if you've thought of it, chances are other people have also thought of it in some incarnation or another. It's the way the industry works. Kind of a group consciousness (to put a slightly philisophical view on things). There's already a 'gameshow' on Court TV that has people pulling heists. It won't be far long before a game is developer with that premise, either yours or someone else.
Best of luck.
