Las Vegas asks for cards to help city heal

LAS VEGAS, NV - OCTOBER 03: A close-up photo of the marquee at Wynn Las Vegas shows part of a message in response to Sunday night's mass shooting at a music festival on October 3, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hotel-casinos all along the Las Vegas Strip replaced their usual flashy marquee advertisements with the same message of condolence as a show of strength in reaction to the violence. Late Sunday night, a lone gunman killed at least 59 people and injured more than 500 after he opened fire on a large crowd at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival. The massacre is one of the deadliest mass shooting events in U.S. history. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
