According to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD), it\u2019s unlikely that all of these crimes are connected.<\/p>\n
However, detectives are not ruling out the possibility, and are investigating the possibility of any relationship between the various crimes.<\/p>\n
Casino patrons at SLS told local NBC affiliate KSNV that they were surprised it was so easy for these types of crimes to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody should be able to rob a casino,\u201d said Leonard Roberts. \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be possible. They need to do something about their security or something.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSo far, no security footage has been released of the incident at SLS. Police say the suspect they are seeking was wearing a hoodie as he ran through a row of slot machines, then exited the building. No one was hurt during the course of the crime.<\/p>\n
In other recent cases, however, those committing the robberies were caught on camera. Last Wednesday, an armed man was seen on surveillance cameras stealing money from the New York New York Hotel and Casino before escaping in a taxi.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, what appeared to be a different armed suspect was seen on security cameras as he approached the cashier with a handgun and demanded money from a cage employee.<\/p>\n
If there is one positive from these incidents, it is that no one appears to have been hurt in any of the recent crimes. Still, some casino visitors say they\u2019ll be on guard while they\u2019re in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty much a lot of that going on our here,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cYou have to keep your eyes open.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
