A couple visiting the Las Vegas Strip from Kansas said they were unfazed by the news of the UNLV mass shooting.
“It could happen anywhere,” Stephanie Fawcett said while drinking coffee with her husband, Brennan, near New York-New York on Thursday morning. They had traveled to Las Vegas to see Garth Brooks perform at Caesars Palace.
Brennan Fawcett said he they felt “as safe as we could feel.”
It was business as usual on the Strip Thursday morning as many in town to enjoy shows, gaming and the National Finals Rodeo were just getting out of their rooms to grab some food and coffee and play slots. Most of the tourists who spoke to the Review-Journal were in town for NFR, which will take place this week and next the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus. The first day of the rodeo was canceled because of the shooting.
