MGM Resorts International, which owns the Mandalay Bay hotel from where the gunman opened fire, was down 5 percent. Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd, Wynn Resorts Ltd and Las Vegas Sands Corp each fell 1 to 2 percent. In a statement on Twitter, MGM Resorts said it had locked down hotels in the vicinity at the request of law enforcement officers. We’re grateful for the immediate actions of our first responders,” MGM Resorts said in the tweet.
