Gunfight on Las Vegas strip leaves three dead The occupants of a Maserati and an SUV exchanged gunfire at around 4.30am before the Maserati crashed into a taxi, causing a multi-car pile-up and killing the driver of the sports car, the taxi driver and a passenger. The incident happened at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, a crossroads straddled by the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace casinos. The SUV was gone when the police arrived at the scene, according to Sgt John Sheahan, a spokesman. One passenger from the Maserati, and two others, have been taken to hospital, he said, adding that more people may be hurt. The crossroads, meanwhile, is expected to be closed for hours as the police investigate. It is the latest in a series of violent crimes in the centre of Las Vegas' casino district since the beginning of the year. Two people were critically injured in a shooting at a carpark on February 6 and a tourist was stabbed in an elevator at the Mandalay Bay hotel on February 16.
