At least 59 people were killed and 400 wounded when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire at an open-air country music festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.


Flights in and out of Las Vegas’ McCarran airport were temporarily halted, with the airport allowing passengers who “lost or left behind identification” to fly home following an identity verification process.


While agents have seen some concern among customers, few have seen cancellations as a result of the attack.
