If you've been to the Las Vegas Hilton sports book, you know it's located next to the buffet. The robbery happened at 6:15 am, which is before the buffet opens for breakfast. This buffet isn't a 24-hour operation, which was probably known to the criminals. It could have been much more dangerous if this had occurred while there was a big line of patrons just feet away waiting to get in.
With all the security, it does seem improbable that casinos can be victimized in this way, but it did indeed happen. Now the sports book is near an exit, whereas the casino cage tends to be in the middle of the property, which likely made it (sports book) more attractive as a target.
Let this be a reminder to always be aware of your surroundings. Even casinos, with large security staffs and systems, can still fall victim to thuggery.
