An apparently homeless person died on the Las Vegas Strip in front of the resort formerly known as The Mirage, police said Sunday.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the person appears to have died of natural causes.
Near a bus stop on Las Vegas Boulevard, a section of sidewalk littered with trash and a battered sneaker was cordoned off with crime scene tape late Sunday afternoon, but tourists were still able to walk through the area. One Metro officer watched over the scene. The body was no longer visible.
The Mirage closed in July and is expected to reopen as the Hard Rock Las Vegas in 2027.
