LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas police are looking for an armed casino bandit who made off on a motorcycle with perhaps $2 million worth of gambling chips from the posh Bellagio hotel-casino.

Las Vegas police Lt. Clinton Nichols told The Associated Press that detectives were reviewing video and camera images of the robbery a little before 4 a.m. Tuesday at the Las Vegas Strip resort.

No shots were fired and no one was injured.

Nichols calls the robbery about as quick as you can do it.

He says the man wore a full-face motorcycle helmet and leather jacket.

He went to the casino pit area, displayed the gun, demanded chips, and fled the casino before speeding away on Flamingo Road on a black sport-style motorcycle.

I bet that casino is a mess with all the cops, Federal Agents and Gaming Agents. Also I wonder how he is going to cash in all those chips? He should have gone for cash.

If he's smart he'll bide his time and slowly cash them in over time.

That will take a very long time.

I could stretch $2 million forever.

I was just listening to the radio and they said this same guy used the same routine to rob a smaller casino(Stardust I believe) last week.

Pretty soon he's gonna hit the wrong casino and in that case he will be lucky if the police get to him before the mobsters do.

pkd is in vegas! Maybe she is the bandit!

Who's that?

I wouldn't wanna be the bandit right now, they have every branch of law enforcement looking for this guy. They will find him, I just hope it's before he hurts someone.

Actually it was freakin brilliant chips aren't marked......the cash is.......all he needs to do is send people in a little at a time to play slots a couple times take their chips and cash them in........and they are at a loss as to who did this......I guarantee their is more than one person behind this heist..........wow I repeat BRILLIANT......

I guarantee they are high dollar chips and not many people play with them.

You don't know that since the denominations weren't published............guess it would be easier to play them and lose then still gaining money...........LOL

She's a regular on the site.

All she wanted was a memory, Tanyaann, beisides what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas..........

A lone robber wouldn't be able to carry two million in lower denomination chips.

Haha, awesome.

About time someone took from the casino instead of the other way around.

Inside job!!

I highly doubt it.

Another way to do it would be to sell the chips to players at a discounted rate. Sell high rollers 10k chips for 9k etc. You could go in play some cards and cash out. Buy in High, play low tables and cash out. The pit boss doesn't know what tables you are playing. Do this with a few people and you can cash out fine.

you may have something there chazter...

should be fun to watch them trying to catch him selling them or cashing them in!

aren't they marked in some way?

Survalliance would pick up on that.
