A man has taken a woman hostage inside the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.
The man pulled the woman into a hotel room around 9:15 a.m., police spokesmansaid. A chair and other items were thrown out a broken window and landed in the pool area below, he said.
Broken glass and furniture fell intermittently for about an hour from a window of the Palace Tower, said Associated Press writer John Marshall, who was on vacation with family. A hotel desk employee said the hostage was taken on the 21st floor and guests on other floors were not evacuated or restricted from movements, said Marshall, whose room is on the fifth floor.
Beverly Blackwell, 56, was lounging by one of the Caesars Palace pools with her husband, Chris, when someone shouted that something was falling from a window. "When we saw the window shatter it was kind of a surreal feeling, it got pretty scary," she said. "We were told to gather our stuff and rush out the back."
