A man has taken a woman hostage inside the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.
Broken glass and furniture fell intermittently for about an hour from a window of the Palace Tower, said Associated Press writer John Marshall, who was on vacation with family. A hotel desk employee said the hostage was taken on the 21st floor and guests on other floors were not evacuated or restricted from movements, said Marshall, whose room is on the fifth floor.
Blackwell heard glass shattering and then saw the curtains blowing from the broken window. Blackwell said she and her husband thought it might be a shooter or attack. Staff then yelled that the guests needed to evacuate the pool and rushed everyone out.
