It is currently unclear whether the violence has been caused by multiple shooters, or a single gunman.
Dozens were seen on aerial footage fleeing the Mandalay Bay, which was reportedly on lockdown. SWAT teams in armored cars were seen driving up to the hotel.
The LVMPD tweeted: ‘Please avoid heading to the south end of the Strip. Las Vegas Blvd is shut down at Tropicana, southbound past Russell Rd at this time.’
Musician Luke Combs was at the music festival. He tweeted: ‘Active shooter at @Route91Harvest in Vegas. We’re safe. Love you guys,’ he wrote.
Country singer Jake Owen, who appeared to be in Mandalay Bay, tweeted: ‘Gun shots!!! Vegas. Pray to god. Love you guys. Love you Pearl.’
Police are blocking Las Vegas Blvd at Tropicana.
Details are still emerging; this report will continue to be updated.
