He killed 58 people and injured almost 500 in what became the country’s worst mass shooting.
The last time Las Vegas’ lights were dimmed was in December 2015 to mark the death of former basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian.
They have previously been lowered to mark the deaths of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, George Burns and presidents John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
The Strip was also darkened after the September 11 terror attacks in 2001.
