Las Vegas (CNN)In addition to his frequent forays into casinos and gun shops, Las Vegas strip killer Stephen Paddock took 20 cruises, many of them in Europe and the Middle East, investigators have learned.

New video shows concertgoers fleeing scene 02:57 The cruises included stops at ports in Spain, Italy, Greece, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, according to information provided by a law enforcement source who asked not to be identified because the source was not authorized to share information about the investigation. Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley, accompanied him on nine of the cruises.

[...]

In the wake of Sunday's attack, authorities now believe Paddock rigged his car to explode if fired upon, according to information provided by the source. The car, a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring, contained 90 pounds of Tannerite and two suitcases filled with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Explosive-sniffing dogs discovered the vehicle, according to the information.

[...]

Investigators have also determined that Paddock booked three rooms at the Ogden, a luxury condominium tower in Las Vegas, between September 17 and September 28. The condos were on high floors and facing north overlooking the Life Is Beautiful music festival, according to the information provided by the source. He attempted to book a room at the El Cortez, but there were no vacancies, according to the information. The source said investigators recovered a notepad with numbers in it "significant to the gunman" and were attempting to determine their meaning.

The presence of the numbers was first reported by The New York Times, based on an interview with Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Stephen Paddock took 20 cruises

******************

Were any of them gifts from the Casinos? Apparently he was a big
gambler so I expect he dispersed a lot of cash in the casinos.

I’d change the “them” in the poster with “th” in superscript. Just for fun...

I posted these locations here days ago, including a thread I started. Some doubted it, especially the UAE. I said I was 100% confidence he was there and was with his GF. I was not at liberty to divulge mode of travel at that time. Now you know.

And the Las Vegas Sheriff surmises Paddock had an exit strategy which apparently failed. Exit how? Could this have something to do with it?

The Saudis own the Four Seasons Hotel which sits atop of the killer's Suite. Paddock was on the 32nd floor - the Four Seasons begins at the 35th floor.

Interesting to find out if there is any type of connection (Fire escape stairway) that connects the two hotels. Remember that stairway was right next door to the suite. 4chan also figured this out and has done more digging: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/144155094#p144155094 https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/mandalay-bay-massacre-13-hotel.jpg?w=640

And Trump recently met with top military leaders, and during the photo op cryptically mumbled “the calm before the storm”.
I’m wondering if an ISIS link is being suppressed to keep wraps on a major retaliation (just a theory).

They do know that he did not check in at the Chicago hotel overlooking Lollapalooza. He did check at the hotel in Vegas during the “Life is Beatiful” festival, which was held at the same venue that he fired on. They must have some internet traffic on him, as it’s come out that he searched for hotels near Fenway Park. Who knows what that means..

The UAE is a great tourist venue. The tallest building in the world is there. It has many other attractions

It is a financial center with lots of wealthy visitors doing business in the Gulf and Asia

I’m still keeping my money on ISIS. They generally don’t claim acts they aren’t involved in and they also have a fetish (apparently) for music venues, see the Bataclan and Manchester Arena. The fact that they have continued to claim this and our agencies inability to find an ulterior motive is interesting to say the least.

Good Lord, who would want to cruise the Middle East...

Dubai is awesome. I've been there several times. Also enjoyed Bahrain and Oman.

Lots of places in the Middle East are clean, modern, friendly, cosmopolitan, and affordable.

Yeah, interesting. I wonder how many other times he booked a hotel room "overlooking" a concert?

He was a millionaire, retired and apparently stayed in hotels quite often, and traveled a fair amount (ex., 20 cruises).

The fact that he booked a hotel that overlooked another concert at that location isn't really saying much if he routinely booked hotels in vegas (concerts everywhere, often) or elsewhere.

Now, if there is no record of him staying in a hotel in vegas prior to the "Life is Beatiful" event...then I'd say there's something there!
