"That's a bunch of hooey. It's a bunch of nonsense," he told reporters.

"If I had heard any credible information about threats to Las Vegas, I would have told the public not to come here, whether we depend on tourism or not. No such information was ever given to me."


Were there people told but the info didn't get to the Mayor?
Why did only 2 people show up?
Is there a supreme fear about liabilities of inaction?

Surprising, if true. I wonder how many other cities in the US were subject to the same thing.
