Not all hotels, just this one in particular that failed to do anything about a lone guest bringing in 20 heavy bags of stuff and barricading himself in his room. Also, they are saying the security at the venue was not adequate; the venue is owned by MGM/Mandalay Bay.Here's an article: https://www.npr.org/section...
I think he did that the seoncd or third time. The first one, he personally guaranteed the debt and had to liquidate assets to cover them. He was also cited for taking an illegal loan when his father bought a few million in chips and held them for a while. Not sure if he ever got paid back.
Funny thing is that Trump will NEVER admit that he made the debts from his first bankruptcy whole, no matter how egalitarian that may sound. Because no good wall street scheister would ever agree to a deal like that in the first place.
I'm not sure what practical options are available, but the issue certainly deserves its day in court. Trying to circumvent that by a peremptory suit seems the very lowest of class.
Also, the AI system I am developing with my colleagues could have noticed that an excessive number of suitcases were being brought to this man's room. It could do that based on the current CATV & security systems the hotel has already installed. That could have triggered a soft review
Sifting the chaff for grain is what AIs are good at.
I can't wait to read that the judge told MGM to go fuck itself. MGM obviously tried to cut corners by hiring attorneys who graduated from Ed's Law School and Discount Furniture. A fundamental principle of the law is that "the actions of an agent are the actions of its principal". Contemporary Services Corporation was hired by MGM and was therefore its agent. If it failed to secure the hotel and/or the concert venue, the failure is MGM's. It doesn't matter what the so-called SAFETY act says or doesn't say.
What do you think the hotel should have done to anticipate, detect, and prevent this mass shooting? Metal detectors at all the doors? Search all luggage?How should they be prepared for a car bomb in the underground garage?
I heard that Vegas was a great place to go if you didn't gamble because the gambling subsidized everything else, so food and rooms were cheap.Not anymore, since it changed from a gambling destination to a gambling-themed family resort.
One theory I read, probably here, was that he borrowed money to buy the casinos, stuffed as much of that money as he could into his pockets, then crashed the casinos so he wouldn't have to pay back the loans.
The American justice system is weird. David is correct, the hotel has no liability here. That doesn't matter though. In America, we tell ourselves that incidents like this had to have signs, that it was predictable and therefore someone failed to predict it. If it wasn't predictable, we might have to do something about our gun laws. So just because the hotel has no liability doesn't mean that if they get in front of a jury, someone won't decide they did. Suing victims is bad PR, but the story seems to indicate that victims are going to start suing them soon. And the best defense is a good offense. (I'll leave whether or not this is a good offense to someone else)
I've been to Las Vegas many times and love it! Las Vegas, NM, that is. Actually, I've been to LV, NV many more times, but one time when I lost a quarter in a slot machine (literally lost it, couldn't find it anywhere!), I decided I'd had my fill of gambling.
OTOH, and to be perfectly fair, there is some outrageously gorgeous scenery around Las Vegas -- and I'm NOT talking about the show dancers. Although, most of them aren't bad either.
OK, ok! You don't have to push, I'm leaving now to go back to my cave.

They were swamped by trans men looking for safe T.

The equivalent to jailing a person would be seizing the assets I suppose. Stockholders get their money back at the end of the sentence.
Czech, please!
This. Exactly this!
....and the whole place smells like a fucking used ashtray.

The "free market" is bullshit. There's no such thing.
