I was staying 62nd floor of THE hotel and helicopters were circling all morning from 5am on (it was pretty ironic since all day my wife was commenting on how quiet the room was). When we left the entire road behind the tower buildings at the Luxor was closed.

Anyone got an update on why this guy was killed?

Im sure people here can elaborate a lot more, but it's pretty common knowledge that Las Vegas tries to keep all the murders undercover as to not affect tourism, etc.

My ex girlfriend and her family got a free full stay at a major theme park type place because their hotel had a hostage incident involving a family and an employee of the park. They signed full non-disclosures and it never made the papers. They got a super expensive vacation package for it and basically all that happened to them was they couldn't use their room one night. I wonder what the family involved received?

Tourist places covering up incidents is standard.

First off WTF is this even doing in General Poker Discussion? Are we going to get the crime report for every killing in every city with a poker table?

Second, Dids is correct. You list roughly 30 people dead in a handful of acts over a five year period (incl. assailants) before the VA Tech shooting which adds 31. There are over 300,000,000 people in the United States alone. This is tragic for sure but to hyperinflate this as some kind of 'frequent' event is just nonsense.

I think you may have this backwards. He has to be a tool for Obama or Hillary. Why would someone who works for an administration propped up by the NRA tout gun killings? They would want them forgotten quickly.

You must have been IN the helicopter since THE Hotel is only 43 stories

In the old days when you thought about vegas casinos you thought about gambling, glitz, glamour, fun, drinks etc etc. Now adays when you think about vegas casinos, well the actual word is worried. You are worried about not getting stabbed or shot, and now you are also worried about not being blown up. It is like going into the hood now adays.
