Maybe off topic, and I admit I don’t know the laws in this case. But I don’t see how Mandalay Bay has great liability.
It seems to me that the hotel was incidental to the heinous actions.
What liability do they have? For example, will some attorneys suing claim that they failed to screen his luggage for weapons or explosives?
I’m sure somehow they will be sued. I just can’t figure off hand exactly what they failed to do, legally, that makes them somehow legally liable for a nutcase using their premises to carry out a massacre.
I work IT in a large sporting venue. We get sued for everything. Slip and falls. Fans getting hit in the stands with whatever. Literally, drunks falling down stairs. People who OD'ed sue our care center. A surprising number succeed.
One angle in this case may be negligence in maintaining the Gun Free zone they had signage up for.
Doesn't matter in today's world. Everyone from the Port Authority to the GWB administration to the airlines got sued after 9-11.
