Wynn executive’s body discovered in high-rise apartment

A Wynn Las Vegas executive was found dead in a luxury high-rise community late Wednesday night, sources said.

Sharla Perry, a director of VIP services for the casino, was found dead about 7:30 p.m. at Turnberry Towers, 322 Karen Ave., near Sahara Avenue and Paradise Road.

Police called the death "suspicious," but it was not ruled a homicide because there was no physical evidence of a crime. More information will be known after an autopsy.

A Wynn Las Vegas representative did not return calls seeking comment.

Officer Barbara Morgan, a police spokeswoman, said the body was discovered after the woman's mother called security at the complex and asked them to perform a welfare check.

She told security her daughter had not been at work for several days and had a medical condition, Morgan said.

When security officers checked, they made "verbal contact" with someone in the residence who indicated they were OK, Morgan said. Several hours later, after Perry's mother asked the officers to go inside the residence, they found the woman's body.
