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.

Nevada Supreme Court ruling could expose MGM Resorts in Las Vegas shooting

"Just days after the Oct. 1 shooting, a Nevada Supreme Court panel issued a decision that could sharpen questions about the adequacy of security at Mandalay Bay and increase its liability.
The ruling is hovering over the hotel-casino and its owner, MGM Resorts International, as the company braces for a run of lawsuits related to the shooting and an expensive, yearslong court battle. A shooter killed 58 concertgoers and injured more than 500 others at the Route 91 Harvest music festival across the street from his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay suite before apparently taking his own life."

{“You no longer have to show the exact circumstance was foreseeable,” he said. “I think it makes it difficult for MGM Resorts to get the Mandalay Baycase dismissed by arguing it’s a lone shooter and they couldn’t have ever foreseen that.”
Longtime civil litigator Robert Eglet said the decision opens the door for plaintiffs to question whether MGM Resorts had sufficient security measures to protect its casino guests and those at the Las Vegas Village concert site, which the company also owns.
Those questions have surfaced in the most recent round of lawsuits."} https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/nevada
"Tragedy after tragedy
The massive litigation compares to another tragedy that cost MGM a large legal settlement: the infamous fire at the old MGM Grand, which killed 87 people and injured more than 700.
On Nov. 21, 1980, a smoldering electrical fire broke through a wall in the first-floor deli, creating a giant fireball that swept through the hotel-casino, blowing out the front doors and leaving behind death and destruction.
The wall of fire was fueled by flammable plastic furnishings, fixtures and wall coverings. There were no sprinklers in place to dampen the intense flames.
Some died trying to beat the fast-moving blaze out the casino entrance, but most fell victim to smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning in the 25 floors above the casino as a stream of thick black smoke traveled up through elevator shafts, air ducts and other openings.
Litigation over the fire was hard-fought and lasted years. It never went to trial." https://www.reviewjournal.com

In so many of these occurrences throughout the years, its like anything that could go have gone wrong did. Yet, in hind-site had certain preventative measures been done, so much tragedy could have been avoided.
