2 injured in stabbing near Las Vegas resort, police say

The Metropolitan Police Department said two people were injured in a stabbing near a resort in Las Vegas.

According to police, the incident occurred at about 2:10 a.m. in the 4500 block of Tropicana Avenue. While police wouldn’t directly confirm the location, The Orleans Hotel & Casino is located at 4500 West Tropicana Avenue.

Police said that officers responded to a fight call resulting in a stabbing.

“Four subjects were injured in the event,” Lt. Ken Viano said in a text message. “Two of those subjects were injured after being stabbed.”

Arriving officers detained a possible suspect, police said. However, Luis Vidal, a spokesman for the department, confirmed later Monday that the individual was not arrested in connection with the stabbing.

According to Vidal, the suspect in the stabbing is still outstanding.

The victims were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
