Gunman robbed Las Vegas casino poker room
Las Vegas police Capt. John Pelletier said the male suspect entered the Bellagio armed with a small black handgun and demanded money. The employees complied with the suspect’s demands, and he escaped with an “unknown amount of money.”
The suspect was wearing a blonde wig, glasses and had his face partially masked, police said. “No one was injured and the suspect fled the premises,” the Bellagio said in a statement. “We are working with Metro as they investigate this incident.”
The suspect fled in a Silver 2011 Chevrolet Cruze with Nevada plates, which has since been recovered by the police. Police believe the suspect acted alone, but did not rule out that another individual might be involved.
Actor James Woods was at the Bellagio when the robbery occurred and commended the Bellagio's staff for handling the situation, saying they “surrendered the money quietly, so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even realized it was happening. Excellent staff, cool under pressure.”
