Police say the December 9 hold-up at the Suncoast also involved a man wearing a helmet who displayed a gun, demanded casino chips and sped away on a black sport motorcycle.
That heist netted less than US$20,000 in chips.
Police Lt. Clinton Nichols told The Associated Press that Tuesday's 3:50 a.m. robbery at the Bellagio happened "about as quick as you can do it." Police released grainy images showing a man wearing a motorcycle helmet pointing a gun.
No shots were fired, and no one was injured.
