A permanent memorial to honor victims of the 1 October shooting received final approval from the Clark County Commission on Tuesday, nearly four years since efforts began on how to formally memorialize the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in American history.
The Forever One Memorial will stand just off the Las Vegas Strip where the shooting occurred. The memorial will be in the shape of an infinity symbol and will feature a 58-foot “Tower of Light” — representing the 58 people who died in the shooting — and a circular chamber called “Surround” containing 22,000 points of light, the same number of concertgoers who attended the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, where the shooting occurred.
