What was his escape plan?

His guns. Room in his name. How does he escape from that ?

If the two got of Hotel, a sneak across border to Mexico was only long term out. Where was his old planes located. Might be able to take of from Vegas under cover of tank explosions.

Perhaps he planned to escape from the hotel room to commit further mayhem, but not necessarily to escape the consequences of his actions. Maybe setting off the car bomb or something. Suicide may have always been the plan, just not inside the room at Mandalay Bay.
