The Las Vegas village is an open events center. Above all, this is the venue where more than 22, 000 people are gathering. The night of October 1, 2017, was a good time for the crowd. The people were in the village to attend to a country music concert. Meanwhile, a lone attacker was preparing his riffles planning to attack. He finally managed to shoot to the crowd. The lone attacker was later identified as Stephen Paddock. He had moved to a room on the 32nd floor of the hotel days before the event.
He shot at the crowd, killing 58 people. He left 546 others with various injuries. Stephen killed himself inside his room before police arrived. MGM Resorts spokesperson added that if the venue becomes a SWAT center, there will be no training. DeShong said that the place would handle other things about SWAT but not train.
The Las Vegas SWAT is a small team of about 40 experts. The team is in charge of all attacks. But, the team only handles those attacks that are dangerous or high-risk.
SWAT is also responsible for the security of high-profile politicians. It is this team that offers protection to the President or his Vice when they visit Vegas. For instance, it is SWAT that provided security to VP Mike Pence. The VP was in Las Vegas last week. The security team deployed several mechanisms. Among the tools were sniffer dogs. Also present were snipers and helicopters.
Officers from the Metro Police Department are still investigating the Mandalay Bay shooting. Others assisting in the investigation are agencies from the federal laws. Besides, the State of Nevada is also involved in the probe. On the Las Vegas shooting site becoming a SWAT center, not all are happy. Doug Poppa a former casino security director at the Strip is unhappy. He says the timing is bad. He argues people need time to heal.

MGM says no staff interacts with the guest. In a way, the management says there is no questionable contact. In fact, all the casino is saying is that the staff is doing their job. In the resorts, the job is ‘welfare check.’ “After two consecutive days, there is a ‘Do-Not-Disturb’ sign on the door. During this time, the guest meets no one in-person. He doesn’t contact any housekeeping or other hotel staff on the phone,” MGM reports. The statement goes ahead to say that it is the work of some employees. In fact, they must do welfare checks.
Thus the management says, “Besides, our staff reserves the right to enter the room. They can enter if it is appropriate to conduct a welfare check.” Many of those that suffer injuries go to various hospitals. After weeks of medication, they are finally back to their lives. They are filing lawsuits.
Many of them are hiring high-profile lawyers to represent them. While claims can be different depending on the client, many are suing for negligence. It is uncertain how Mandalay Bay and MGM Resorts International is deciding. The casino is silent about the claims.
After the shooting, the facility closes down. It is a crime area for many days. Various media houses send their reporters to take pictures of the hotel. Only a few journalists find their way to the scene. But this does not contain anything. News about Las Vegas shooter is soon everywhere. Social media keeps buzzing with news every second. Many of the reports going around contradict with police reports. News about the Las Vegas shooter even creates an impact on the Vegas slogan. The review team of the Las Vegas’ ‘What Happens Here, Stays Here’ Slogan Is Back suspends it. But the suspension is not over. The slogan is back into use.
