LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police say two Vietnamese tourists were found fatally stabbed in a Las Vegas Strip hotel room and that the deaths were a double homicide.

The identities of the man and woman found dead Friday in a room at Circus Circus were not released.

He said the victims were in a tour group that arrived Thursday night in Las Vegas before heading on a trip to the Grand Canyon Friday.

Spencer said investigators believe the suspect or suspects were involved in an argument that a person reported hearing in the room early Friday morning.

According to Spencer, there was no active threat to guest safety at the hotel.
