"I just can’t figure out how he was able to assemble a virtual armory in his hotel room(s)?"

I assume their is security footage from the hotel, parking lot, sidewalks, etc that is being looked at. That said, how hard could it be to walk through a Vegas hotel lobby with luggage containing numerous guns & ammo?

I don't expect any hotel employees to give much thought to just some guy/hotel guest arriving with luggage & wondering what exactly might be in it, even if it requires more than one trip through the hotel & up to the room.

=================================================================

If someone has never been in a Vegas hotel, it might be difficult to see how he could bring up to his room what he did.

There is a steady stream of people walking around Vegas hotels carrying suitcases, backpacks, bags and even loaded bellman carts at nearly all hours of the day (it's Vegas after all).
The same person could walk to and from their parked car, to and from elevators, several times a day carrying a bag(s) and not cause suspicion. The elevators in a busy Vegas hotel often have wait lines. There are people constantly coming and going, partying in rooms, going to their rooms to change clothes, take a nap, etc.
An AR-15 type weapon can be transported in a backpack, along with several loaded mags.[1]
Over several days time, making several trips a day, many weapons and ammo can be carried in using nothing more than a backpack and/or a rolling suitcase or two.

To follow up on this...23 guns in the room (at least 1 was a 'small' weapon, a revolver, the alleged suicide weapon).

He's alleged to have checked in on Sept 28th. The shooting took place late on Oct 1st. Depending on check in time, that's 3 to 4 days to bring the stuff in.

"Worse" case for him by himself, that's 6 to 8 trips per day, assuming only 1 bag with 1 gun per trip.

No doubt he was able to fit more than 1 gun per bag or suitcase per trip and not doubt used several bags a few times...especially during the day of check in. He might have only needed to average 2 or 3 trips a day.

Definitely nothing that would be cause for alarm in a big, busy Las Vegas hotel over the weekend.
