LAS VEGAS— Police say they're looking for a gunman who made off with a lock box after confronting a security guard carrying the cash at a Las Vegas Strip casino.

No one was injured, and no description of the robber was made available after the 2:15 a.m. Thursday heist at O'Sheas Las Vegas Casino.

Las Vegas police Officer Marcus Martin says investigators are sorting through conflicting reports about the incident, and no description of the robber was immediately made public.

Martin says it's not clear how the man made his getaway.

O'Sheas is located between the Harrah's and Flamingo resorts, across busy Las Vegas Boulevard from Caesars Palace.

It's owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp.

A company spokesman says officials are cooperating with police and O'Sheas remains open.
