Did the police have to wait for clearance from Mandalay Bay before responding? I've seen that a couple places.

Maybe he wanted to go see family after the most traumatic event in his life. Just like thousands of other victims.

I thought this could happen. The ramifications may be far-reaching - who will put on large outdoor events in the future?

The lawsuits seem misplaced. Wouldn't they be better off suing the State of Nevada and the NRA? It would seem to me that they're responsible for giving the concert promoters and the hotel the false sense of security that this would never happen.

Good. When gun violence starts to disturb other businesses, they will at some point start lobbying for gun control, and that will have a lot more effect than popular opinion. (Sadly, but that's how the system works.)

Couldn't agree more. Going to be really interesting to see how much insurance policies increase for live events.

I'm honestly not seeing how this lawsuit prevails. Screams more of lawyers looking to make a quick buck on backs of grieving families, which is as common in the US as gun violence is.

Yah you’re right. Let’s punish those who had no responsibility for what happened. That’s the way to make the world a better place.

Perhaps that is the point?
The US has continually shown that it really doesn't care about these atrocities.
What happens when it starts affecting EVERYONE'S wallet?
At the very least, it will be interesting.

Except you will just end up with no public events and the same rampant gun culture.
Won’t solve a thing.

Good.
The only things Americans love more than guns is freedom and money. Keep chipping away at the things people care about until it hurts too much to ignore.

the suit per the article claims that the hotel breached its duty of care by not realizing this guy was stacking so many guns in his hotel room.
I'm not sure I agree with this thought process and also, what are the implications? Rigorous security now to enter a hotel? That would suck..

Would that conflict with whatever the state’s regulations are? Are people in Nevada not allowed to stockpile guns in hotel rooms?

I have wondered if anyone from housekeeping entered his room after the weapons were stockpiled in there. or did he hang ethe do not disturb sign on the door?
if they did enter his room, did they not think to say anything? or would they have thought nothing of it because it is vegas? for all I know the stuff was in plain crates.
I would think video must exsist of him hauling stuff up to his room.
i'd imagine tit will be a decade or so before this is settled one way or the other. it will be interesting to see if this has any effect on public gatherings where there is a nearby high point in the short term.

I've been on golf trips to Vegas wherein I've taken my golf bag up and down from the room multiple times during the week. And dragged it through the casino.
Instead of golf clubs, it could have been AKs or ARs. No one would be the wiser. I always throw the do not disturb sign up if I'm on a trip that is 3 or less days.
THE HOTEL IS NOT AT FAULT HERE.

Yer gerd derm right they are. However hotels can have whatever rules they want; there's a lot of talk about metal detectors in Vegas now. So I would imagine had they known there was an arsenal amassed on the 32nd floor they might have asked him to leave. Even a cursory check by hotel security might have prevented him from following through with his plan. But who knows? Vegas is pretty concerned about not appearing concerned.

Did the shooting timeline ever get sorted out? Was the security guard shot before or after the massacre started? There still seems to be a lot of questions left unanswered.

Yeah. I mean, obviously if the hotel did something the massacre might not have happened or to the extent it did - but I could just foresee if the hotel told him to get out, they would have the wrath of the NRA come down on the hotel for violating his something or other.

NRA aside, if there was even the hint that a major Vegas hotel was having security or housekeeping go through guest possessions and either advising authorities on what they found or asking people to leave the premesis based on what was found, it would be the end of that hotel.
No one is going to stay at a hotel that, as a matter of policy, enters your room when you are not there and rummages through your stuff.
Will be interesting to see if they follow though on metal detectors, considering the volume of people they would need to screen and hand search every single day. Having what would effectively be airport style security and a long wait to get into a casino or hotel would be a logistical nightmare
