A Vietnamese couple, part of a tour group, have been found dead in their Las Vegas hotel room, with police saying they were stabbed multiple times.

Two Vietnamese tourists have been found fatally stabbed in a Las Vegas Strip hotel room, with police saying the deaths are a double homicide.

The identities of the man and woman found dead on Friday in a room at Circus Circus were not released.

Police Lt Ray Spencer said both victims were stabbed multiple times and that police had not made an immediate arrest.

He said the victims were in a tour group that arrived on Thursday night in Las Vegas before heading on a trip to the Grand Canyon on Friday.

Spencer said investigators believe the suspect or suspects were involved in an argument that a person reported hearing in the room early on Friday morning.

According to Spencer, there was no active threat to guest safety at the hotel.
