He didn't have them at the counter when he checked in. Not hard to sneak stuff in afterwards.

Must have taken several days, right?

Hotels have a number of entrances your room card gets you in from parking garage, etc.,

It's not like he pushed a cart with all the guns on top and boxes of ammo and asked for assistance with his bags

Those hotels are nuts with people bringing
stuff in and out. Would not be hard at all.

I have been involved with sneaking entire kegs from the parking lot through the lobby and up to the higher floors. There's no reason why a man with a heavy duffel bag would stand out in a hotel.

"It's not like he pushed a cart with all the guns on top and boxes of ammo and asked for assistance with his bags,,,"

Other than yourself, who inserted that premise into the discussion?

Oh, I get it... Reductio ad absurdum when nothing else of substance comes to mind. Monday's are great days for logical fallacies.

Carry on. Eye-roll, indeed.

These hotels are multi-building complexes. He never had to go past the desk again.

If he had them in some long bags...he could have been a photographer with tripods and recording equipment.

We stayed across the street at the Luxor a few years ago, after a two-week snowboarding trip in Tahoe. No car, we were just staying for one day, then flying out -- so we had all of our gear with us. Snowboard bags, ski bags, bags and bags and bags, and hard cases, too. No one ever looked twice at us. Could have been anything in those bags.

But MB is screwed forever. The Mandalay Bay shooting. Forever.

Because of NRA influence, we've decided to live in a country awash with weapons

The hotels and other public places may have to install metal detectors at entrances now.

We may as well get used to it. The Second Amendment is untouchable.

There will be no change in that so get ready for metal detectors everywhere.

Maybe he brought it in a little at a time.
Maybe the guns were in his car till yesterday.

Lots of possibilities.

in the Open Carry GOP-Oligarch state of NV,,,, hell just back the humV up to the front door, have a crew of bellhops with luggage cart taking it all up to ur $1000/nite suite

I doubt he had them slung across his shoulder.

Edit: Do we even know wha type of rifles were used?

..........and more importantly, hear the audio, it's clear that the weapon was fully automatic. Probably an assault rifle of some kind.

That was a long burst of automatic fire, even taking into account the echo.

If you have money to spend, it's not hard to acquire this kind of weaponry in Nevada.

Those are popular with mass murderers.

It's pretty clear he unloads a clip, takes five or so seconds changing clips, unloads a clip, etc.

Ends up in hotel rooms. I had the contents from my old furnished apartment in a hotel room while I was waiting to get into my new apartment.

Doubt he walking in with all the guns on display. Long guns can be broken down and who even looks at a guests in busy lobby with a luggage cart crammed with duffel bags and luggage.

Those hotels are so busy, people have all types of luggage. We stayed at the MGM on our way to California when my kids were little, you should have seen all the crap we hauled up to our room. Things in bags and stuff sacks along with suitcases.

I'm sure the guy was careful enough to make sure no one would be able to easily see it was an arsenal of guns and ammo.

A couple of big suitcases would be enough. Guns come apart; you can usually break a rifle or shotgun down into pieces less than 2½ feet long. Ten barrels, ten stocks, and ammo.

Total weight would be in excess of 100 pounds.

Anything less is regulated by the ATF as a title 2 firearm, which requires an FFL and other legal hurdles to own / jump through.

The barrel is the longest fixed length part of the rifle, and everything else can be broken down into smaller parts.

Where would he have hid it all from housekeeping? I know you can request no housekeeping so maybe that's what he did.

Leave your dirty towels and linens outside your door and they'll give you clean ones at the desk. One can spend a long time in a hotel room without being bothered by anyone.

Even on trips lasting more than a week. I don't want people in my room when I'm not there with my things. Period.

If I need more towels or linens or anything I call the desk and ask and service my living space myself.

Routine business and none reported anything unusual.

That many guns and ammo. I suppose he could have just left it all in the bags he brought them into the hotel.

Especially modern military style rifles - they are shorter than hunting rifles.

Many hotel rooms - especially in higher-priced hotels - have closets with doors that the housekeeping staff is unlikely to open. Or drawers. Or he could have just left everything in his bags. The housekeeping staff don't usually have the time to go around poking in closets and drawers.

Rifles. Probably happens all the time in Vegas. Lots of hunting, gun shows, etc in an open carry state. Like golf clubs there.

The less they interact with your stuff, the less likely they get fired if something is disturbed or missing.

Plenty of time to bring stuff in, trip by trip.

When have they ever checked your bags?

In fact, I once checked into a hotel WITH TWO OBVIOUS gun cases. Nobody said shit because:
a) When you check in, you rarely have all your luggage with you. It's still in the car.
b) the key cards lets you in any door. Most drive to the entrance nearest their room and then bring in the luggage.

It's much easier than you think.

would hide double what this guy brought easily. And not a box checked until I went into the convention center itself.

and have no idea what's going on.

knows that damn near anything can be carried up to a room. Tubas, violins, skis, gun cases,rappelling equipment, camera tripods and huge camera cases, you name it. And you can make tons of trips back and forth from the car to the room as many times as you want.

Lots of folks haven't navigated the real world very much.

A whole lot of shot in a hotel room with high quality equipment kinds of things!

And you know that stuff doesn't pack small.

Legit modeling photography being done in the casinos or in the desert, or a pool.

Independent films, trade filming (like training videos or industrial shoots.)

Yeah, porn, but it doesn't even have to be that.

Even more so than guns...

porn is the reason we have the internet and high-speed broadband.

Spot on.

People bring bulky luggage in and out of hotels every minute of every day.

These people shoot people with guns, and not bananas or hair dryers, guns they make an effort to hide before the shooting, and they try to kill themselves at the end, I have yet to hear of a mass shooter who is shocked that he's not being given a parade and proclaimed the leader of the free world for his actions.

From what I've seen of mental illness and looking at the average spree killer (Unbelievable to say there is an 'average' spree killer BTW), they don't seem that separated from reality... if at all.

It's depression and suicidal intent that is coupled with rage at society (for various personal reasons) and the person decides to take it out on others (Society) before they commit suicide. This is a major reason why mental illness checks don't stop this - depression and anger are common in US society and even then, some will only take their own lives.

Fully automatic assault weapons are legal but have to be registered with the Feds in accordance with the 1934 Federal Firearms act, but they are bigly expense,,, u can by them on Black market but they are still highly expense...... and ten of them?

strip hotel suite for a month.
lots of money being washed in banks

Follow the money,,, something fishy in Denmark!

I snuck a pig into a hotel once

Hadn't heard that.

And you'll stop wondering how he could have brought in all that. Hotels usually have several entrances accessible with key card and to be honest I've seen quite a few clerks that were less than stellar in being observant of people and things coming in.

And I think there is a gun show there in the next week or so according to the news reporting.

You could carry a lot of rifles is a gold bag and lean it in your closet. Housekeeping would never suspect. Golf is big in LV.

for a number of rifles.

to your next hotel I guess.

God guts and guns made 'Murika great MAGA baby!

It was via a kiosk

never saw a human...except to grab my room key

The kiosk kicked them out

If he'd asked. There's no need to sneak anything at all into a Las Vegas hotel room -- especially something that's perfectly legal. Have none of y'all figured out how Vegas works?

Guest wants to bring in an arsenal, guest gets to bring in an arsenal. As long as it doesn't interfere with the gambling.

And after a few games the bag Even smelled.. badly


Nobody ever said nothing

They apparently also let this lunatic check in with a womans ID
