LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man is hospitalized in critical condition after he was stabbed multiple times at the Venetian.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they received reports of the stabbing about 11 p.m. Saturday.

When officers arrived at the scene, police said they found a man with multiple stab wounds.

The name, age and hometown of the victim wasn’t immediately released.

Police said they’re trying to determine what led up to the attack. So far, no one's in custody.

After that incident, one person was shot at the Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas sign early Sunday after an argument broke out over who’s turn it was to take a picture in front of the landmark. The person who was wounded wasn’t a part of either group, but ended up getting shot in the knee.

No arrests have been reported from that.
