A man was taken into custody and a woman, reportedly his hostage, was safely released on Tuesday following a lengthy standoff at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The incident occurred at the iconic Las Vegas Strip resort, but no injuries were reported. It is unclear whether the man was armed, but objects, including furniture, fell from a 21st floor window during the standoff, causing concern among guests at the pool area below.
The Las Vegas Police Department stated that the suspect had been apprehended and the female victim was in the custody of officers. Fortunately, she did not appear to be injured. According to Las Vegas police Captain Stephen Connell, the incident began when hotel security reported an argument between a man and a woman, with the man forcefully pulling the woman into a room.
During the standoff, SWAT officers secured the hallway outside the room, although it was unclear at the time whether the man was armed. Captain Connell reassured the public that the woman believed to be held hostage had been heard from and was believed to be unharmed.
Witnesses outside the resort described hearing glass breaking and witnessing curtains fluttering out of the broken window on the 21st floor. The incident sparked fear among guests, with some evacuating the pool area. Guests reported seeing various items fly out the window, such as a coffee maker, a hairdryer, and a desk bureau.
Despite the disturbance, the casino and other areas of the resort remained open and unaffected. Hotel representatives have not yet provided a comment on the incident. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to individuals in the pool area.
The authorities managed to resolve the situation, ensuring the safety of the kidnapped woman. The investigation is ongoing, and further details may be revealed in due course.
