The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the hotel. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Matthew Livelsberger, a Green Beret, likely planned a more damaging attack but the steel-sided vehicle absorbed much of the force from the crudely built explosive.

The explosion outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on New Year's Day is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, sources said.

One person was killed and seven others injured after a Cybertruck burst into flames Wednesday morning just outside the glass entrance doors of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, with police and FBI officials saying the type of vehicle and location of the fire raise many questions.
