LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Authorities have a man in custody after he claimed to have a bomb inside the Trump International Hotel near the Las Vegas Strip on Tuesday.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they got a report about the item around 1:10 p.m. at a property near the 2000 block of Fashion Show Drive.
Capt. Dori Koren with LVMPD said a man entered the hotel with a large suitcase and duffel bag and yelled there was a bomb in the building.
The man left in a taxi, and the hotel got two more bomb threats over the phone about 15 minutes later, Koren told reporters.
As of 3:45 p.m., no hazardous materials were found, but authorities were double-checking to be sure.
Koren said a suspect is in custody and described the situation as an “isolated incident,” though he declined to release any identifying information.
