The four-hour standoff began with the suspect reportedly trying to steal the small SUV from the casino valet.
He then refused to come out of the vehicle when police arrived. The SWAT team was called to the scene.
No one was hurt.
Casino operations and traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard weren't affected. Â The valet is the only area of the property that was affected, police told CBS affiliate KLAS.Â
