The casino interest angle explains a great deal about this investigation, and why the story is losing its “legs”.
Billions of dollars at stake, and the stake holders are high level players in media and government with lots of reasons, lots of money, and lots of “juice” to tamp down this story.
Good points on your part.
Lack of a manifesto also works for a shooter seeking “immortality”. It keeps the conspiracy mill ginning along.
Yes, “immortality” can be a factor, especially with a high-IQ killer. I believe the same motive might have been at work with the pilot of the missing Malaysia Air jet.
Nothing survives history like a good mystery, witness Amelia Earhart.
No doubt the story is being tamped down. LVMPD and the casinos work hand in glove. Police brass routinely are rewarded with lucrative casino security gigs. They all want the story to go away.
(I do NOT rule out a “Professor Raoul X” who motivated and weaponized Paddock, then shot him and left him as a patsy before disappearing down the no-cameras hall to the no-cameras stairwell.)

BTW, I wrote a story called “Is the NFL ready for a stadium attack on a Las Vegas scale” and none of the “respectable” conservative websites would touch it. I’ll post it on WRSA instead.
