Las Vegas strip chaos as 30 police vehicles and helicopter flock to Paris Hotel
A major incident is unfolding in Las Vegas as 30 police vehicles and a helicopter swarmed an iconic hotel. A witness of the massive response is heard saying, “this is crazy” as he estimates 100 police cars are involved on a video uploaded to social media.
He also pointed the camera at the police helicopter flying above while shining a spotlight on the ground. The incident – the nature of which is still unclear – is unfolding on Las Vegas Boulevard in front of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino and the Paris Hotel.
The police have blocked off the section of Las Vegas Boulevard as panicked locals took to social media. The authorities have reportedly warned people who turn north on the street are subject to arrest as they respond to the incident.
One person wrote: “Las Vegas boulevard in front of Bellagio has been blocked off by police.”
Another said: “Something crazy going on on the Las Vegas Strip right now… In front of Paris Hotel.”
A third said: “Not sure what’s going on but police said turn back north Jr be subject to arrest. There was a group of people getting upset with police for closing the walkway.
“Looking like what is taking place is right outside our hotel. We made it back to room”.
A fourth wrote: “I’m in the Bellagio towers and can count about 30 police cars.”
