Mandalay Bay employees see schedules cut in Las Vegas shooting’s aftermath

{“The event of Oct. 1 has had an impact on the fourth quarter,” Murren said on the conference call. “We saw a spike in non-group cancellations, actually a little more than double what we normally see.”
Partially as a result, MGM expects its Las Vegas Strip revenues in the fourth quarter to decrease in the low to mid-single digit percentage points."}

{"Talledo felt comfortable coming forward because she’s almost certain she won’t keep her job at Mandalay Bay.
Aside from the callousness of how the company handled her cut, she said working the desk in the wake of the shooting has been extremely difficult.
Constantly, she either answers to guests’ criticism of MGM, or she has to politely ignore crude quips about the shooting, like one guest who jokingly asked about staying on the 32nd floor, where the Mandalay Bay gunman’s suite was situated.
“It was extremely hard to deal with,” she said. “Why stay at a job where we’re getting defeated from both sides?”} https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/mandalay-bay-employees-see-schedules-cut-in-las-vegas-shootings-aftermath
This is such a big impact on many employees and businesses in the LV area.
Such things are always difficult for the people that just want to keep working and financially stay a float.
