The fists fly, a camera rolls and a security guard stands by watching.
Two women gang up on another. They punch her, grab her by the hair and tumble to the ground as she kicks one of her attackers in the stomach.
A security guard in the foreground stands and watches for 25 seconds before trying to break it up.
The video of the fight is on Facebook. It happened early Wednesday morning inside The Venetian hotel-casino.
Hotel guests like Anja Rusch want to know: why didn't that guard jump in sooner?
"I would feel unsecure because it means I could walk around. They could do something to me. It would just not matter. They are not doing their job," Rusch said.
Katja Kohler asks how could this have happened in the first place?
"You could walk around and something could happen to you and they would just walk around and stand there and just watch," said Kohler.
Another guard jumped in about 27 seconds into the fight and shouted: "Guys let go or you're getting sprayed!" She finally sprays the women to split them up.
13 Action News asked The Venetian why the guard waited so long before acting. A spokeswoman, in a statement, wrote "the security guard in the video followed protocol and the situation was resolved without injuries."
The man who posted the video said he works at a nightclub in a casino. He said it is standard procedure for security guards to wait for backup before trying to break up a fight.
Guests tell 13 Action News they feel safe at the hotel.

The security guard was just waiting for the clothes to come off. Everybody likes a good cat fight.
Perhaps he was just a security monitor. “Yep, that’s a fight all right.”
LOL
Yes the minimum wage security guard should jump in and take a beating also.
Yeah, I totally understand that.
I thought you couldn’t take photos or video inside of a casino.
Since the guard sprayed them in the face would that mean that they’re now ventian blinds?
Ha Ha very smart!!
The guard was waiting for the patrol gondola to arrive.
Lol
Possibly so but I’d say, don’t take a job if you’re not going to do it. The second guard did it even at minimum wage.
“Possibly so but I’d say, don’t take a job if you’re not going to do it.”
If your boss says wait for backup you are doing your job.
I think that's only in the play area? Looks in the video like that's in the hotel region.
My wife and I have been to the Venetian. Nice place.
Emphasis added.
Problem apparent.
Look like a bunch of illegal Mexican chicas just having a normal every day gang fight.
“why didn’t that guard jump in sooner?”
Easy, the lawyers are trying to protect the business from lawsuits.
YOU cant, they can
LOL oh my word, that was a good one.
