I actually do have a firsthand account. I was there on business last Thursday. I stayed at the Trop which is less than a half mile from the shooting site. I don’t know what I expected, but what struck me was how “normal” everything seemed. The Strip was packed and so were the casinos. The only indication I saw of the tragedy was #VegasStrong on the outdoor video screens and the flashing police lights at the concert venue. When I stay at the Trop, I usually go for a morning run to the Las Vegas sign and back (3 miles round trip). The rout takes me past the Mandalay Bay. I decided to take another route this time.
