Las Vegas Casino Robbed On Saturday
A suspect fled a casino on Saturday with an undisclosed amount of cash, the second time in a week that a Las Vegas casino was robbed.
LAS VEGAS, NV - For the second time in a week a Las Vegas casino was robbed at gunpoint. A suspect described as a black adult male between 20-30, between 5'7" and 5'9" tall and weighing between 150-160 pounds is being sought by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after robbing a casino on Saturday.
Metro police say the man entered a casino near Flamingo Rd. and Koval Ln. on Jan. 13 and approached the cashier's cage. The suspect produced a black handgun and demanded money. The employee provided the money and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to a Metro press release.
Early Wednesday morning, the New York-New York casino was robbed by a suspect who fled with cash. In late November, a suspect robbed the Bellagio poker room before fleeing in a vehicle in the middle of the afternoon. Both of those suspects are still at large.
