You can check in to a Vegas hotel with 12 bags and not raise a single eyebrow. Especially if you are staying in a VIP suite and extra especially if you slip the bellman $100.

Do you think the floor of that hotel will be turned into a museum similar to the Texas School Book Depository building in Dallas?

Also, if the video is damaged, unviewable, or not available for any reason, the speculation will only grow. Sure investigations take time but eventually the video or enough video to dispel speculation can be available. Just about everyone knows Vegas casinos are known for having boat loads of cameras. |

It's starting to look like the main glitch in his plan was not thinking about setting off the smoke alarm. I think that's what brought the security guard to his room. I think he figured he would have time to get out of the room and get away. But he used his own name to register and they knew what car he was driving too. Lot's of conflicting facts and conjectures to figure out here. |

those windows don't open. So there would need be more window glass broken - other than of the room of the main nutjob. |

He had a bunch of tannerite and ammonium nitrate in his car. He had plans for that and never got a chance to use it. I think he did plan on getting out of the hotel and to his car to do something, and since he took a bunch of shots at the huge tanks of aviation fuel at the nearby airport (luckily not puncturing them) it could have been that he planned on driving his car next to them somehow and blowing up his homemade bomb, setting off a few million gallons of jet fuel.

Sometimes I think crazy even evil stuff goes through many of our heads. What separates us form those that are really nuts is that we have the common sense to talk ourselves out of it because we know it's wrong. I'm not a psychiatrist and I didn't even sleep at a Holiday Inn last night. |

There's just so many questions from someone on the outside looking in. Hell, I know there's a lot of questions for the investigators on the inside. Either by himself or involved in something with others, I know it's just a sad mess. What a sad mess for those that only wanted to go to a concert and have fun. |

That being the case, it's remarkable the guard was only hit once in the leg and reportedly managed to move other guests to safety during the drama. |

I know. It boggles the mind when you consider there are those with sinister agendas (both foreign and domestic) who purposely conceive and carry out tragic events like this. Still, in times like this, I take solace from Scripture like Ephesians 6:12 ERV when it says, "Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places." |

I can think of evil crap that makes this guy look like he was playing with Legos, but you are correct. Imagining, and doing are approximately 14 bazillion miles apart. |

A smoke alarm going off for 51 mintues would be unnerving as well. |

Wouldnt the alarm in his room tie into additional rooms for evacuations? To add to the conspiracy theory maybe there were more than one shooter and the others escaped in the fire alarm evacuation with the other guests. |

That is what a mean. Why only one room? My electronic detectors are tied together. If one goes off so does the others.
It would seem pointless to wait and check out if there was a fire 5 minutes later after one room alarm is noted and then evacuate the area, floor, entire hotel. |
