Video Shows Las Vegas Gunman Gambling, Eating Alone and Filling His Suite With Guns

Sometimes we see him as other hotel guests would have seen him: as the tall gambler intent on the video poker machine across the casino floor, or as the customer standing in line in front of you at the gift shop, buying snacks, or as the guy you briefly glance at as he waits for you to get off the elevator — polite, unhurried, unmemorable.

Sometimes we see him as the employees would have seen him, as the casually dressed V.I.P. with the many suitcases who jokes with bellhops, chats with valets and gives out tips along with handshakes. And sometimes we see him as only the surveillance cameras saw him — riding the elevator alone.

Within a few days, he would use the arsenal he had moved upstairs in those suitcases to shoot and kill 58 people from his 32nd-floor suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

If he intended to committ suicide WHY did he pay off his marker..??

He wasn’t suicidal at all and probably didn’t trigger a single round.

He was killed by the people who REALLY did it.

Did he really “use his arsenal to kill...”? One wonders.

It took time to patch the multiple copies of the same short clips into one video; give them some slack!

Propaganda shows that it is good if over a certain period it can win over and fire up people for an idea.

If it fails to do so, it is bad propaganda.

If propaganda wins the people it wanted to win, it was presumably good, and if not, it was presumably bad.

No one can say that your propaganda is too crude or low or brutal, or that it is not decent enough, for those are not the relevant criteria.

Its purpose is not to be decent, or gentle, or weak, or modest; it is to be successful

If you think this crap is any of the story, you’re not as smart as I thought you were.

"it doesn’t make sense for him to have more than, say, 2 firearms (the second as a spare), plus of course as much ammo as he planned to use"

It doesn't make sense to me that he slaughtered over 50 people in a concert but he did. Trying to apply rationality to a mass murderer is sort of a lost cause.

The people who run the hotel said they host conventions all the time. Vendors haul around tons and tons of suitcases, etc up and down from their rooms all the time. No one bats an eye.
Also, the guy was in a freebie room on a lower floor for a few days then paid money and upgraded to “suite” level. In that level, no questions are asked. That is where you have to go if you are going to host a hooker. No visitors in non-suite rooms. He had room service in there, it was not privacy he was looking for. Of course, higher up in the floors would give him a better shot, but he could not have traded guns in a regular room.

Likely not the first time he has done this. He was most likely an arms dealer - no way he amassed his wealth gambling. I don't think it is a coincidence that shortly after the shooting, the Saudi prince who owned the top part of that hotel (Four Seasons) was taken into custody and tortured along with the other scumbag Saudi princes. It's nice to see some video finally, but there is still more to this story.

And I’m still trying to figure out with all that weaponry up there, from an elevated position into a densely populated area with bottlenecked exits ans no real threat of return fire from the ground, he only kills 58 and then offs himself before any substantial reaction force arrives? Yeah ok.
