I live about an hour and a half away from Vegas, so I go pretty frequently to do shopping or sightseeing. My boyfriend and I plan on seeing some shows and spending the night this summer. In fact, Hannah Bleau is here visiting me, and we’ll probably spend a few days there later on this week.
I’ve never stayed at Circus Circus – but I drive by it ALL the time.
I know freak stuff like this just HAPPENS and there’s nothing really to be afraid of…
But I’ve got to admit it skeeves me out.
A Vietnamese couple on vacation in America were violently stabbed to death in a double murder in a Las Vegas hotel room on Friday night.
The couple have not yet been named. Their bodies were found in their room at the Circus Circus hotel in Vegas on Friday after they failed to show up for a scheduled group tour of the Grand Canyon at 4pm.
Police say that the couple had recently arrived in Nevada after spending time in Los Angeles.
Yikes.
Did they manage to make mortal enemies THAT quickly?
Was this someone they already knew?
We don’t know yet – and it’s super creepy to me.
They were due to spend two nights in Vegas then go back to L.A. before flying home to Vietnam next week.
One person reported hearing an argument from the hotel room around 2am, but it wasn’t clear who was involved, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Ugh. I’d HATE knowing the argument I overheard in my hotel room turned in to murder…
I think that would haunt me forever.
As of Friday evening the Metropolitan Police Department was awaiting the coroner’s help in the investigation.
Police call it an ‘isolated incident’ and have no suspects, according to Fox5.
I dunno how you can call it ANYTHING if you have no idea who it was. But oh well, I’d much rather think of it as an ‘isolated incident’.
MGM Resorts International, the owner of Circus Circus, released a statement in light of the incident.
‘Las Vegas Metropolitan Police is on scene and we are cooperating with their investigation.
LVMPD has indicated that there is no known threat to guest safety at this time,’ spokesperson Brian Ahern with MGM Resorts said in an email to Fox.
The hotel is still open and running as police closed about half a floor within the building for the investigation.
Hope they figure THIS ONE out…
Because it’s been like 8 months since the Vegas shooting… and we still don’t know anything.
