According to reports, shots were fired from a black Range Rover Sport at a Maserati that was stopped at a traffic signal, causing the Maserati to collide with a taxi which burst into flames.
The driver of the Maserati was killed and his passenger suffered gunshot wounds. Both the driver and the passenger in the taxi were killed and several other people were injured when six other vehicles crashed into the pile-up.
The incident took place at around 4.30am on the morning of February 21 at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, close to some of The Strip’s most prominent hotels, including Caesars Palace and the Bellagio.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority released a statement reassuring the public that it was doing everything in its power to keep visitors and residents safe.
"Recent incidents, while unfortunate, were isolated events," said spokesman Jeremy Handel in a statement.
"Las Vegas is among the safest travel destinations in the world and utilises the most advanced technology and training to maintain a secure environment."
The incident is the latest in a string of violent attacks in Sin City this year. One tourist was stabbed in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay on Saturday (February 26) and two people were wounded in a shooting on February 6.
