Two people have died and six others were wounded during a stabbing rampage in front of the Wynn Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip on Thursday, police said.

Police began receiving reports of a "series of stabbings" on Las Vegas Boulevard about 11:40 a.m., Las Vegas police Capt. Dori Koren said during an afternoon press conference.

While on scene, police quickly took a suspect into custody and began providing medical aid to victims, Koren said.

Two of the eight victims died. Three of the surviving victims were in critical condition, Koren said.

"The weapon we recovered was a large kitchen knife," he said. It was too early in the investigation to determine a motive, Koren said.

"The scene is under control," he said. "The suspect is in custody and everything appears safe for now."

Las Vegas police tweeted a news alert which said the report of the stabbing, shortly before noon, occurred “in front of a casino in the 3100 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard.”

(Details of suspect, age, race etc. have not been released).

Happened a few hours ago. Two of the victims were showgirls, according to Vegas radio host Wayne Allyn Root.

Not appropriate. People are dead and severely wounded.

When the covid happened, Vegas (Sisolak) shut all the casinos down. When they reopened, they cut their prices and the quality of people cruising the Strip went down dramatically.

Not everyone is onboard with the idea that we live in a clown world and so such humor is an appropriate response directed at the clown world, not the victims.

To those who don’t understand that we can only say, “Why so serious?”

I was in Las Vegas last weekend and I saw no price cuts you reference. I stayed at a resort hotel where they were charging $150 just to get a pool chair that had an umbrella for some shade! “Free” (well, a $44/day resort fee) chairs were in the full sun.

(I had a GREAT time in Las Vegas though. Saw shows and exhibits and ate and drank well.)

RIP to the dead and I hope the others recover. So sad.

Fox5Vegas TV news said:

LVMPD described the suspect as a Hispanic man in his early 30s. Police said he doesn’t appear to be a local resident.

Why not dead instead of taken into custody?

There’s a point to be made and the world is a hostile place. If you cannot see the subtle logic in the point being made I’m sorry. Get a grip.
