Power cut cripples Las Vegas casino
A contractor knocked out power to a Las Vegas Strip casino resort, displacing thousands of guests and gamblers, trapping nearly a dozen people in lifts and prompting a room-to-room search of the 33-storey tower.
The Paris Las Vegas, including the casino, restaurants and shops, lost power at about 9.45am local time on Thursday when workers in the basement cut into the main power line, Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling said.
