Actor and Twitchy regular James Woods tweets that he was very near the scene of the crime.

So we are playing poker at the @BellagioPoker and a guy walks up with a gun and robs the cage thirty feet from us ten minutes ago.

.@Bellagio staff were fantastic. They surrendered the money quietly, so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even realized it was happening. Excellent staff, cool under pressure.

Good news that no one was hurt.

I bet he didn't get far after that! Glad you're ok.

Did anyone tell him guns aren’t allowed in Casinos? I’m sure he just didn’t notice the NO GUNS sign. Honest mistake #2A

Does that mean casinos are not as safe as when the mafia run them? Or went legal?
