Unfortunately this is not a meteorite. I spoke with the man and he said it

Darn, I would have loved a night or two in Vegas as a business expense!

itself into a wall?

"It could just be a large piece of asphalt because it is grey on the
outside and black in the middle," said Gleicher, an administrator
at Diagnostic Imaging Southern Nevada, at 3560 E. Flamingo Road,
near Pecos Road."
