The police have been on the lookout for suspects in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Out of the four casinos attacked by the criminals, three are located on the famous Las Vegas Strip, while the 4<sup>th<\/sup> one is in close vicinity. Only two months ago, a man adorning a facial bandage and wig robbed the Bellagio\u2019s casino cashier (poker room). Police official Lt. Michael Mauntel calls this series of incidents \u2018unusual\u2019. He added that he was concerned regarding the frequency of such events.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A robbery was reported on January 10 as well. It involved a man displaying a handgun while demanding cash from the cashier at New York-New York casino. On the exact same day, 3 people had run away with chips taken from one of the game tables at another popular casino, Harrah\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Saturday saw an Ellis Island cashier being subject to a gun threat for money extortion and on Monday, there were reports of a man jumping a counter and grabbing cash at the popular SLS. The police aren\u2019t convinced about these incidents being connected. As per rules, authorities aren\u2019t allowed to reveal the chips worth or money amount stolen. The department justifies this policy by saying that other criminals shouldn\u2019t be encouraged to attack the venues with such information at hand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The suspects were armed and not pursued by the security guards of the casinos. A UNLV associate professor informs that this has remained a standard long-term practice among casino operators. The companies are also required to consciously balance the total visible security available on the casino floors. This helps ensure that customers don\u2019t feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Erdem said that with armed security guards, he is looking at his risk management and the sum of money he is losing from thefts versus responsibility. While talking on the subject, he also cited a case from 2000 when a tourist was killed at Harrah\u2019s by a random bullet. This happened when the security guards were struggling with a suspect in a robbery case and he opened fired. The suspect ended up shooting a security personnel in his stomach while the officers were trying to put handcuffs on him. He fired again and the bullet went through the pant leg of a guard and into the victim\u2019s back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 19, bandits managed to run away with chips and cash from four different casinos in Las Vegas.
