An armed, masked suspect robbed the Bellagio poker cashiers cage at gunpoint late Tuesday afternoon, and authorities are still searching for the bandit as of late Tuesday night.

According to a report from CBS' local Las Vegas affiliate, the attack occurred a little after 3:45 p.m. and involved a lone robber with a mask and a handgun. The suspect demanded money and then fled in a silver Chevy Cruze with Nevada license plates reading 37D147.

One of the first reports out of the poker world came from the Twitter account of bracelet winner Randy Ohel.
