Man stabbed to death Monday on the Las Vegas Strip

A man was stabbed to death early Monday while walking with friends on the Las Vegas Strip, Metro Police said.

Officers responded at 1:52 a.m. to the 3700 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard on a report that a man had been stabbed at the location. Officers arrived to find a Hispanic man suffering from multiple stab wounds.

The victim was taken to University Medical Center's trauma unit, where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives determined the man and his friends were walking southbound on Las Vegas Boulevard when they were confronted by a group of men, then members of the two groups became involved in an altercation, Metro homicide Lt. Lew Roberts said.

During the fight, one person pulled a knife and stabbed the victim several times, police said.

The suspects fled the scene southbound, but where apprehended across the street. They were taken to police headquarters for questioning and were being interviewed Monday evening.

The name of the victim will be released by the Clark County Coroner's Office.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 385-5555 or Metro's homicide section at 828-3521.

The incident follows a deadly June 25 stabbing that occurred after a fight over a remark about a girl.

Two groups quarreled, separated and then ran into each other again on the pedestrian walkway between the MGM Grand and New York-New York hotel-casinos. That’s when a second fight broke out, resulting in the fatal stabbing, police have said.

Andres Armando Elena, 21, of Las Vegas, died from a stab wound to the chest. Police arrested 25-year-old Victor Quijano in connection with Elena's death. Quijano, also of Las Vegas, was charged with murder with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon.

So some people came to Las Vegas and chatted with some other people on the Las Vegas Strip, is this right?

Later when they met again, one person was stabbed to death.

And am I reading this right?? just about a week ago. another group of people had met and a remark had been made about a female and then another person was stabbed to death. Correct??

Is this what the articles is saying about what happens on the Strip of Las Vegas regularly?

I see Metro is adept at shooting Las Vegas citizens, but apparently unable to harm or capture knife-wielding tourists. Way to go, Dizzy! Now you have yet another excuse to go on the local talk show and talk about how great your officers are, how dangerous the job is, blah blah blah. Where is the Federalist protection from idiotic mass rule like we have here in Nevada when you need it? Obviously the masses in Clark County are unable to recognize the worst Sheriff in the country.

Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas Aerial Photos - Las Vegas ...

Insomniac wrapped up the 15th Annual Electric Daisy Carnival on Monday morning, marking a major success for North America’s largest electronic dance music festival with 230,000 attendees, more than 100 electronic artists, and minimal causes for concern throughout the three day festival’s debut in Las Vegas.

“I am grateful for how welcoming the city of Las Vegas has been, and excited by how much both the fans and the organizations we worked with loved the event,” said Pasquale Rotella, CEO and founder of Insomniac. “We could not have asked for a better team, from Insomniac’s staff to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Clark County Fire Department, Dr. Dale Carrison, Medic West, American Medical Response, and UMC. I want to thank everyone involved for believing in us.”

Attendees experienced a smooth entrance each day including a state-of-the-art identification screening process, verifying all attendees were 18 or over, along with a multi-stage search process to ensure only approved items were allowed into the festival.

The partnerships with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County Fire Department, University Medical Center, Medic West, CSC, Staff Pro, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and many others kept security and safety concerns to a minimum.

“The event was an overwhelming success for Las Vegas and fans of the event,” commented Captain David O’Leary of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. “Over the course of my long career, I have never witnessed a more respectful and overwhelmingly grateful group of fans and organizers.”

“This was a great crowd – polite, cooperative, and appreciative,” said Dr. Dale Carrison, UMC Chief of Staff. “Insomniac provided every resource we requested so we went into the event feeling adequately prepared. Considering the number of people who were out here, the number of incidents we treated was minimal, and certainly no more than any event of this size would produce.”

Insomniac regularly updated fans via the Electric Daisy Carnival Web site on the importance and practice of staying hydrated before, during and after the festival. With free Water Refill Stations, attendees were able to fill any beverage container or Insomniac branded water canteen in order to stay hydrated throughout the event.

Creating a true carnival atmosphere, the festival featured more than 200 performers, including dancers, fire twirlers, aerialists, and stilt walkers, plus numerous full size carnival rides and attractions. The 1,000-acre complex was transformed into a fully immersive audiovisual experience as 13 large-scale art installations created their own interactive environments amidst the six stages, along with state-of-the-art lighting and sound production. Attendees also experienced the most impressive pyrotechnics display in Insomniac’s history, featuring a 15-minute fireworks display each night and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics on every stage.
