Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers believe it to be a random event. The victim was stabbed a half-dozen times, police said. He is likely to recover, police add.<\/p>\n

The suspect, believed to be in his 20s, ran from the casino. He headed toward Boulder Highway.<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s Town is a local casino, meaning its customers are mostly drawn from its immediate area rather than tourists. It is operated by Boyd Gaming.<\/p>\n

Prior Shooting Victim Reaches Sam\u2019s Town<\/h2>\n

In November, an assailant shot a man on Boulder Highway. The victim ran into the nearby Sam\u2019s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall to report he had been wounded. He died a short time later.<\/p>\n

The incident began after the victim was approached by two unknown men while sitting at a bus stop. One of the suspects started to argue with the victim.<\/p>\n

As the situation escalated, the suspect displayed a firearm and then shot the man, KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. The suspects fled from the crime scene and headed in a southerly direction, police believe. It was unclear what led to the dispute.<\/p>\n

The victim was well enough to make it into Sam\u2019s Town. But then he collapsed<\/a> at the gaming property. A short time later, he was seen by emergency doctors at Sunrise Hospital and later declared deceased.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an unrelated incident, two bandits attacked an elderly man on Christmas Day 2020 in Sam\u2019s Town\u2019s parking garage before stealing his wallet.<\/p>\n

The victim of the assault was believed to be in his 90s<\/a>, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Details on his injuries were not released.\u00a0The two robbers were described as being in their 20s.\u00a0They were last seen running away from the garage.<\/p>\n

Arizona Casino Stabbing<\/h2>\n

In an unrelated event, FBI agents and local cops continue to search for the man who repeatedly stabbed a woman outside of Arizona\u2019s Wild Horse Pass<\/a> gaming property on Saturday evening. The victim was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Her current condition is not known.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred after the unnamed 31-year-old victim parked her car in a casino lot. She got out of her vehicle and was stabbed by the suspect, KNXV<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. He then fled the area in a white pick-up truck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police did not provide a description of the suspect. But KNXV<\/em> reported several details about his truck.<\/p>\n

He drove a crew cab that did not have license plates. The truck had a brush guard, a light tint on the front window, and a dark tint on the back window. The right rear quarter panel was damaged, and a tailgate was missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
