"Early Morning Shooting Near the Strip Alarms New Year's Eve Visitors"
Early New Year's Eve morning in Las Vegas was disrupted by a shooting near the Strip, leading to a heavy police presence and lockdowns at nearby hotels. Visitors, including Valarie Ramirez from California and Bridget Butler from Australia, were either confined to their hotels or unable to return to them, causing significant inconvenience and concern. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) was on the scene, and some guests were moved to shelter-in-place during the investigation.
