"As you know, a rare and isolated, but very serious incident occurred at Red Rock in the early morning hours of August third. While we are all shaken up by this random act of violence, we are grateful for the swift and decisive actions of our security team, which prevented a terrible incident from being much worse. The safety and security of our team members and guests is and will always be our highest priority. Our thoughts and prayers are with our affected team members—please join us in wishing them a quick and complete recovery. We recognize that such a traumatic incident may create concerns of wellbeing and some of our team members may need support on processing the event. Therefore, we will offer counseling service to people who may be in need of assistance. Additionally, team members will be provided with information on typical responses to trauma, coping strategies, and ways to support each other. The team of counselors from our partners at EAP will be available from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the Red Rock Training Room and we strongly encourage any affected team member to take advantage of this service."
"With our strong family spirit, we will pull through this together. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the tremendous support of the first responders from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Paramedics who responded to assist.
