LAS VEGAS — Police are searching for an armed person who they said walked into a Las Vegas casino and demanded money from a cashier at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have released the video of the holdup that happened Tuesday afternoon, Fox News reported.

Police said the person was wearing a blond wig, glasses and had his face partially covered.
No one was hurt, and police believe he didn't have an accomplice, but isn't ruling it out either, ABC News reported.
Actor James Woods was there at the time and relayed what happened via his Twitter account.
He said that the staff “surrendered the money quietly, so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even realized it was happening. Excellent staff, cool under pressure.”
So we are playing poker at the @BellagioPoker and a guy walks up with a gun and robs the cage thirty feet from us ten minutes ago.

In true poker player fashion we all were focused on the hands we were playing and nobody actually realized it was happening. The gunman pointed his weapon at the cashier with his back to the room.
