"the local authorites (including the Governor and Clark County Sheriff) all say to a man that they are still unaware of any specific threats "

That was definitely my first thought, and I suppose you can come to your own conclusions from readiing the article. To me,this wasn't just a routine general denial to protect our tourist industry; it was a specific denial and specific respones to follow-up questions. It would surprise me if a public official would go on record and blatantly lie that way about something of this magnitude.
