A pair of gun-toting bandits robbed the Las Vegas Hilton's Race and Sports Superbook early Friday.

Although Las Vegas police did not provide the size of the haul, one source put the amount at $570,000.

Two individuals with handguns entered the sports book shortly before 6:15 a.m. and demanded money from a ticket maker's window.

"They were wearing stuff that totally obscured their face and hands," Sgt. Chris Tomaino said. "They were in and out in about 30 seconds."

Police couldn't tell what sex the individuals were, he said.

No one was injured in the robbery, according to police.

A getaway car with Nevada license plates was recovered by police shortly after the heist, Tomaino said. The robbers had switched vehicles.

Few people were in the sports book at the Hilton, on Paradise Road between Sahara Avenue and Desert Inn Road, at the time of the robbery, he said.

Investigators are carefully reviewing surveillance video for clues that would lead to the capture of the robbers, he said.

Tomaino wouldn't say how much was taken, but was "enough to catch our attention."

A hotel executive said the robbers got away with a combination of cash and casino chips.
