Trooper Ross Woodward, from 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards, received the Queen’s Commendation for Bravery, which he said came as a “total surprise”.
He was enjoying a trip to the US gambling capital after a desert training exercise in Nevada when gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire.
As bullets rained down, the 24-year-old, who was off-duty, guided people to safety and tended to those who were injured.
The dad of one, from Beeston, Notts, said: “Anyone in the military would have done the same.”
Six soldiers from 1st Queen Dragoon Guards helped in the wake of the shooting in October last year, which left 58 dead and 489 injured.
