A No gun policy is only as good as it is enforceable. You never know what people have in their bags. But I would be a tad upset if I was on that floor.

Some idiot probably had too much to drink and let go with 2 rounds. Or she/he handed their gun to other person to check it out and they forgot to unload it. I assume every gun is loaded until I personally clear it. Yes I have a CCW and carry every where including my timeshares unless prohibited.

That is one thing a mandatory face mask policy has in common with a no gun policy. Heck, I guess it applies to any policy.

In years gone by, most law enforcement officers were required to carry their weapons off duty (in Washington, DC).

Illegal guns purchases are so easy to purchase in Vegas off the streets and in any big city or small towns. IMHO.

Perhaps there was a dispute over a sales presentation.

The shooting occurred at 2:50am and that was before the sales office open. Facts nothing but the facts,.

So, you are saying the presentation ran a little long (2:50AM), and someone pulled a gun to get out of it? Kidding.

AFAIK, shooting (or shooting at) TS salesmen is still illegal
... even after they bring you one more deal.

Any chance this leads to increased maintenance fees to deal with enhanced security?

There was already a security desk at the elevators, only guests with keys allowed to go up.

All a group needs is one person with a valid key. Any guest can take anyone they’ve met up to their room.

Yeah, and the security guy at Nakatomi Plaza also sat at a desk.
