Las Vegas police are searching for a masked suspect who held up a casino at gunpoint while dressed in a security-style jacket. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has released surveillance video of the incident and appealed to the public for help identifying the man.

The robbery took place on November 13 around 10:29 pm at a casino in the 200 block of Rampart Boulevard. According to investigators, the suspect entered the building through a parking garage and approached the cashier’s cage while carrying an “AR-style rifle.” He demanded money from an employee, who complied. The suspect then exited the casino using the same route he came in.

Police said the man was wearing a ballistic helmet, blue sunglasses, a black mask and a blue and yellow security-style jacket. During the incident, a security guard briefly approached but stepped back after seeing the rifle.

Patrol officers reached the location within minutes and secured the scene before commercial robbery detectives took over the investigation. In a statement, LVMPD said, "We're sharing new video today as we continue to investigate an armed robbery that occurred on November 13, 2025, at about 10:29 pm, at a casino in the 200 block of Rampart Boulevard. Patrol officers arrived within minutes, secured the scene, and notified LVMPD Commercial Robbery Detectives, who assumed the investigation."

The department’s video release prompted widespread reaction online. One user commented, "Security Officer sees the gun and says, nah im good. Take what you want."
Another questioned the lack of exit footage, asking, "I wanna know how much he got away with and… he exited 'the same way he came in'— ok— where's the footage of him leaving? Walked? Ran? Got picked up? Drove away? Biked away? Segway'd away?? Like??!?!!?"

A third weighed in on the security guard’s response, writing, "Pistol vs Automatic rifle? Think the security officer was right to follow procedure. No use in escalating the situation to where innocent patrons can get hurt/killed. I'm guessing detectives are looking at tracing the jacket and other details to find the guy. He'll be found and prosecuted, eventually."

Police are continuing their investigation and have urged anyone with information to come forward.
