He could use them if the police take an hour to get to him. That security guard saved a huge number of people.

I agree about the guard.
But the reason for the delay in entering the room was because Paddock had stopped firing and they were clearing several floors of hotel guests before explosively breaching the door. If Paddock had continued to fire, I’m sure they would have just knocked the door down and gone in shooting.
No way did he think he would escape. The cameras were there so he could wipe out cops trapped in a tight hallway.
He couldn’t have been so stupid not to realize cops would find him within moments. Vegas is lit up like broad daylight 24/7. The 32nd floor of the giant Mandalay hotel is hardly the back hilly woods in the middle of nowhere on a moonless night.
