But Vegas police and MGM Resorts International later said that there was no gunfire. The sound of glass breaking was misinterpreted, police said.
No one was injured, and a suspect was taken into custody.
Another initial report indicating an active shooter also proved to be false.
Parts of the casino property were closed for the investigation.
