We don’t believe that recent high-profile incidents are reflective of Las Vegas and the safety of our properties on the Strip.” He added, “We work very closely with Metro as they work diligently to reduce crime both on the Strip and off.
MGM Resorts International spokesman Brian Ahern said its casinos have highly trained security personnel and updates staffing levels every week. There will also be additional security guards. The Wynn Las Vegas and Encore casinos will be scanning guests for metal and screening bags. Bags will be checked and “oversized alcoholic beverages or glass products” won’t be allowed in. In addition, admission will be restricted to a few doors that will also have Metropolitan Police Department officers posted. Guests will be wanded with metal detectors, the resort said in a statement. only those who have a reservation with the hotel or one of the restaurants, or Identity Rewards members, will be granted entry. The rise in violence on Las Vegas’s Strip has led the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to adopt new procedures, including deploying metal detectors and restricting access on weekends.
