I had written previously about accusations that Donald Trump properties were gun free zones. At the Shot Show in Las Vegas, the Trump tower is a convenient five minute walk away. I grabbed my camera and headed over to see if I could find any No Gun signs.
In the picture above, you can see that the buffed and polished entrance to the Trump Tower in Las Vegas is not marred with any "NO GUN" signs. If you look at the two people leaving the tower, each of them is wearing a Shot Show badge. It was obvious that many Shot Show attendees had chosen to stay at the Trump Tower.
Inside the lobby, I interviewed several people who were attending the Shot Show. Jeff Kyle, Chris' Kyle's brother, who served in the Marines, said that he had not been asked about any guns, nor had he seen any signs to indicate that the hotel was hostile to gun owners.
Matt Reed, account manager for NightForce, said the same thing. He had not been asked about guns, no one's luggage had been searched, and there were no signs to indicate an anti-second amendment policy.
Loyd Hill of SD Tactical Arms, Menominee, Wisconsin, affirmed what other Trump guests had said.
Security at the Trump Tower said that the policy was that guests should not touch firearms in the common areas, but could do so in their rooms.
It appeared that restrictions on guns in the Trump tower were limited to good sense and respect for others. Numerous attendees of the 2016 Shot Show had no problem using the Trump facility.

I’m upset you didn’t invite me to come with you.
I couldn’t have done it, but an invite would have been nice.

No signs at Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. Totally open to the public, no (obvious) security.
You can bet that security is tighter than the White House. Look for the cameras.
The Trump Towers are a simply beautiful example of Las Vegas glitz and luxury. While most of the big name strip hotels have something spectacular to offer, we really enjoyed the experience at the TT.
TTTT
Trump Tower is a great place if you’re walking and need to use the restrooms. Clean, marble palaces. Trump Tower has no one minding the doors when I was there this summer. Back when it was first built, it had hilariously-dressed men who looked like Grenadier Guards. That didn’t last long. I’m sure there are cameras but I wish they had extra security - like guards.
--some of the small casinos have "no weapons" signs but all they can do to you even if open carrying is ask you to leave and , if you refuse, treat it as trespassing---
