Officials said at least seven bystanders were injured in the explosion and the driver, who pulled the truck into the valet area of the hotel, was killed, ABC News reported.

It is unclear what caused the blast but the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is treating it as a possible act of terror, the outlet said.
