This is huge news for all of Las Vegas but especially for our survivors. A memorial will be built to commemorate the worst shooting in our country’s history.
MGM Resorts agreed to donate two acres of land on the northeast corner of what was the Route 91 Festival. More than three years later, the death toll has now raised to 60 victims after two more attendees succumbed to their injuries.
One last survey will be sent out to help shape what the memorial will look like.
