A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration N787SA performing flight WN-1190 from Los Angeles,CA to Las Vegas,NV (USA), was cleared for takeoff from runway 24L. About 30 seconds after the takeoff clearance WN-6326 reported they were slightly over the hold short line, the controller subsequently instructed "Southwest 1190, cancel takeoff roll!", the crew of WN-1190 acknowledged and rejected takeoff at high speed. The aircraft vacated the runway and returned to the apron.
A passenger reported the passengers deplaned, the aircraft was refueled, the brakes checked, the passengers boarded again and the aircraft departed about 2 hours after the rejected takeoff.
WN-1190 reached Las Vegas with a delay of 2.5 hours.
