On a Thursday midday in Las Vegas, a man moved through one of the world's most visited corridors of spectacle and turned it into a scene of grief, stabbing at least eight people near the Wynn casino and killing two before police took him into custody. The Strip, a place engineered for escape and pleasure, has now twice in five years become a site of sudden, irreversible loss. In the aftermath, Nevada's governor pledged more security, a gesture that speaks to how cities attempt to restore the feeling of safety even when its absence has already been felt.
