We don't have a lot of answers." Witnesses said in recorded footage: "I just heard a boom. There's a lot of smoke.
It was like a boom, boom, boom. It almost sounded like a rolling garbage dumpster, then I saw that pop up." Eric Trump, the President-elect's son, wrote on X: "Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas.
The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism." Another wrote on X:.
