Witnesses say hundreds of shots were fired and the sound of automatic gunfire was heard.
There was panic as people ran from the venue and tried to take cover.
Police said reports of other incidents at different locations along the Las Vegas strip were false.
Who is the suspect?
Police named the man they believe was responsible as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock. They have not said anything about a motive.
Sheriff Joe Lombardo said officers found “in excess of 10” rifles in his room.
“We have no investigative information or background associated with this individual that is derogatory,” Sheriff Lombardo said.
“The only thing we can tell is that he received a citation several years ago and that citation was handled as a matter of normal practice in the court system.”
Officers believe he had been in the hotel since 28 September.
His brother Eric Paddock told Reuters news agency: “We have no idea (about a motive). We’re horrified. We’re bewildered and our condolences go out to the victims.”
There was an appeal to find another “person of interest” named Marilou Danley, 62, who officials say was travelling with the gunman before the shooting.
She is now believed have been out of the country.
How many people have been killed?
The death toll is at least 50, according to police, with 406 taken to hospital with injuries.
Fourteen are believed to be in a critical condition, according to the Reuters news agency.
