\n\tAn armed robber escaped with tens of thousand of dollars from the Bellagio on Friday night, and Las Vegas police have asked for the public\u2019s help finding a person of interest in the crime.<\/p>\n
\tLas Vegas police responded to the casino about 8:30 p.m. and the man pointed a gun at a cashier and demanded money. He then ran from the casino on foot.<\/p>\n
\tIt\u2019s unclear if the man had a vehicle.<\/p>\n
\tThe man was caught on video. He didn\u2019t threaten anyone but the teller.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cUnfortunately the teller was pretty much traumatized by the whole thing,\u201d said a police officer who requested anonymity. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty horrific having a gun stuck in your face.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tPolice don\u2019t know the exact amount the man stole but estimated it at $30,000. A casino employee confirmed that a man robbed a cashier cage at gunpoint and he said the robber took about $50,000.<\/p>\n
\tA hotel spokesperson said the Bellagio is cooperating with police, who did not provide any information Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
\tAs a result of the investigation, Metro\u2019s robbery detectives identified 32-year-old Jesse Jones as a \u201cperson of interest\u201d in the incident. Police described Jones as about 6 feet 2 inches tall and 215 pounds with a bald head and blue eyes. He has a tattoo above his eyes, across both eyebrows, that reads, \u201cWHITE PRIDE.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tGaming Control Board Chairman A.G. Burnett declined comment on the robbery.<\/p>\n
\tThis is not the first armed robbery at the Bellagio\u2019s casino floor.<\/p>\n
\tIn February 2011, Anthony Carleo, son of former Las Vegas Municipal Judge George Assad, was arrested weeks after a Bellagio heist where police said he took $1.5 million in gambling chips.<\/p>\n
\tSurveillance videos showed Carleo park a Suzuki motorcycle at the casino\u2019s valet area and walk into the casino wearing black clothing and concealing his face with a white-striped helmet. He headed to a craps table showing a gun, witnesses said.<\/p>\n
\tCarleo was arrested after selling 14 stolen $25,000 chips for $7,000 to $10,000 each to an undercover officer in multiple meetings, Las Vegas police said.<\/p>\n
\tThe same officer testified that Carleo was upset that his father had cut his $1,000-a-month allowance to $600. Carleo was using cocaine and prescription drugs, the officer said.<\/p>\n
