and nothing was noticed as a 64YO guy pulled the guns and ammo up to his room???
I’m sure he didn’t tote them up there out in the open.
He was there for three days before the shooting, so he had time to bring ammo one can at a time. As for the guns, I imagine he had them either broken into upper and lower so the length was reasonable or just in a long, rectangular Pelican case. It’s Vegas - not many questions.
I’m not sure why so many guns. I can see two or even three in case of jams, but beyond that it seems unnecessary. That may have been more about the fantasy than about the actual outcome.
luggage.

Yeah, it’s not like a casino has security cameras or anything; or is prepared in case a well-armed gang tries to rob the floor (sarc/off)

My first thought, as well!

I was a competitor in a match at a range near Vegas. I hauled all my gear and ammo to my room, I’m not going to leave it in the truck. Nobody said anything. When I looked around there was an M60 link under a chair.
When SOF had their big gun show at the Sands there were long guns in most of the rooms, I guess.
Bring it up in a golf bag.
My thought from the beginning. How could he get all those weapons into the room unnoticed in a town where cameras seem to catch everything? Somebody needs to review the hotel tapes.
You must not go to Vegas much. Vegas is convention central. People who are displaying their wears at industry meetings often bring lots of large creates into their hotel rooms. I have seen creates for large panel TVs and satellite equipment.
I bet there is even a sportsman show where half the ballroom is filled with Hunting equipment including everything for guns.
The reality is that Vegas has a huge amount of security. But nobody thought about this. You would think that mass murder is unlikely when someone is up in their 32nd floor room. Who would think they would hit a concert a block away. And the reality is that the guy only needed one gun and several rounds of ammo.
While all the stupid security people on the news channels are proposing dumb things. The reality is that a guy could do this in New York City any day. Virtually anywhere there is a crowd and a hotel window looking down on it. Just think about Bourbon Street. There is no stopping this with security checks.
Who’s gonna check his luggage as he heads up there?
The ammo might have been only 1 or 2 cans. The riffles he could have put in any kind of luggage, hubby uses a square guitar case.
Maybe he packed it all in Louis Vuitton luggage.
This 64YO always travels with a cased long gun. No one notices.
One never knows if a crazed Commie or Antifa thug will try to kill Republicans.
