Marilou Danley, 62, was in the Philippines at the time of the shooting.
Authorities said the gunman, Stephen Paddock, used identification of Danley's at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, prompting authorities to track her down.
Danley, 62, was in the Philippines at the time of the shooting, according to law-enforcement officials cited by multiple news agencies. As of Monday night, Danley was "no longer being sought out as a person of interest," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said. Investigators made the determination after interviewing Danley, the BBC reported.
An unidentified acquaintance of Danley who was contacted by the Reno Gazette-Journal said: "She had nothing to do with this psycho. This poor lady, she was in the Philippines visiting family."

Danley is a citizen of Australia and still has family there, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said.
Danley called herself a "proud mom and grandma who lives life to the fullest" on a personal Facebook page that had been deactivated, the Daily Mail reported. A LinkedIn page connected to Danley that had also been taken down said she worked as a "gambling and casino professional" in Reno from 2010 to 2013, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Danley had been married for 25 years before jointly filing for divorce with her husband Geary Danley in 2015, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported, citing interviews with friends of Marilou. A neighbor, Susan Page, told the newspaper that Paddock and Danley were "closet people" and that she "never saw them."
