   Police said performers for an all-male dance revue on the Las Vegas Strip thwarted a gunman seen stealing property inside the dancers' locker room. 
   
   Las Vegas Metro police said none of the performers were shot in the altercation that happened inside the Excalibur Hotel and Casino Tuesday night. Officers were called to the property just before 9:30 p.m. 
   
   
   
   According to an arrest report, the man was witnessed wandering around the backstage and auditorium area of the show wearing a SWAT hat and shoes and a firefighter's shirt. 
   
   Several people noticed him but just assumed he was a new dancer. 
   
   As the dancers began dressing for the show, several of them noticed they were missing pieces of their costumes and makeup. 
   
   One of the dancers noticed a suitcase and show props outside of a dressing room. The suitcase was filled with dance costumes belonging to the show. 
   
   As the dancer and show director were inspecting the suitcase, Doe approached them and said, "What are you doing? I just bought all that stuff for my girlfriend." 
   
   At that point, a struggle between several dancers and Doe ensued. Doe said, "I got a gun. I'm gonna shoot," pulled a .44 Magnum handgun out and pointed it at a dancer's head, the report stated. 
   
   Someone pushed the gun away from the dancer's head just as a round was fired. It struck a wall. The dancers continued struggling with Doe until he was detained by security and eventually taken into custody by Metro officers. 
   
   The man identified himself to police as Michael Maharas, but that identity was never confirmed. A search of Clark County Detention Center records, though, showed charges connected to the incident under the name Joey Kadmiri, 24. 
   
   
   
   Doe was taken to University Medical Center for treatment for injuries. While at the hospital, he was extremely violent with staff and had to be sedated, according to the report. 
   
   The man was later booked into Clark County Detention Center on counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary with a deadly weapon. 
   
   
   
   A representative for MGM Resorts, which owns the Excalibur, said the show remains on schedule for Wednesday.

   The man lurking behind the scenes at Excalibur might have targeted a better employees locker room than the one used by the performers in the Australian-bred male strip revue Thunder From Down Under. 
   
   The man went into the Excalibur tonight, made his way behind the show's stage, where he allegedly snatched items from the locker rooms used by the fit, muscular men who bring howls of delight from their mostly female audiences. 
   
   One of the performers noticed the suspect, carrying his loot, as he headed to the hotel's courtyard. The dancer rounded up some of his fellow performers and confronted the man, according to Metro Police Lt. David Gordon. 
   
   In the ensuing struggle, the suspect, believed to be between the ages of 25 and 35, fired a handgun once before being subdued by the performers, Gordon said. 
   
   One of the entertainers was injured by the weapon, treated and released. No one was struck by gunfire. 
   
   The suspect, who has not been positively identified, suffered injuries during the physical confrontation and was transported to University Medical Center. After receiving treatment for his injuries, he was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, and burglary with a deadly weapon, police said.
target: – A suspected burglar in Las Vegas took a beating after picking a very bad target—the backstage locker room of a group of male strippers billed as "Australia's Hottest Hunks." Police say members of the "Thunder Down Under" group confronted the suspect after spotting him with items from their locker room at the Excalibur Hotel, the Las Vegas Sun reports. The suspect fired a handgun once as he scuffled with the dancers, leaving one slightly injured by gunpowder residue. The suspect, who is believed to have been high on meth, was taken to the hospital, where he was extremely violent with staff and had to be sedated, KVVU reports. He has been charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, and burglary with a deadly weapon. MGM Resorts, meanwhile, says the "Thunder Down Under" show remains on schedule.
