MGM Resorts International has donated two acres of private land for a permanent memorial honoring the victims and survivors of the Las Vegas mass shooting, Clark County officials announced Monday.
“They’re a part of this community. I think it demonstrates as much as anything does that their heart is where it ought to be as we work on this,” Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson said.
The shooting unfolded on Oct. 1, 2017, when a gunman opened fire from his Mandalay Bay suite into the crowd across the street at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. Fifty-eight people initially were killed and hundreds more were injured.
