00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:29,029
- [Ram] Vegas has definitely,
always been a town

5
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:31,297
that knows how to
make things disappear.

6
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,834
People, money, you name it.

7
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,836
If it's in the way, it's gone.

8
00:00:36,969 --> 00:00:40,173
(dramatic music)

9
00:00:40,306 --> 00:00:43,142
Growing up in Vegas,
when the mob ran Vegas,

10
00:00:43,276 --> 00:00:45,178
you would see stuff
like car bombings

11
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:48,981
and people would
just go missing.

12
00:00:49,115 --> 00:00:50,416
when they were gonna do a new

13
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:52,118
construction site,
or something like that.

14
00:00:52,251 --> 00:00:53,453
So, that's kind of the
way it was out here

15
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:55,255
growing up in the early 80s.

16
00:00:57,823 --> 00:00:59,926
If you ended up dead
in a ditch in the desert,

17
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:01,160
it was probably
because you tried

18
00:01:01,293 --> 00:01:03,196
to get in the way of the money.

19
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:06,165
And in Vegas, that's just
something you don't do.

20
00:01:06,298 --> 00:01:08,934
(siren wailing)

21
00:01:09,068 --> 00:01:11,604
(tense music)

22
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:18,144
(dramatic music)

23
00:01:41,167 --> 00:01:44,838
(motorbike engine revving)

24
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:09,962
- My name is Kate Barton,
I'm an attorney

25
00:02:10,096 --> 00:02:12,132
in San Diego, California.

26
00:02:13,632 --> 00:02:16,135
October 1st,
was a struggling point for me.

27
00:02:16,268 --> 00:02:18,404
In 2015, my mom passed away

28
00:02:18,537 --> 00:02:21,174
fairly suddenly, on October 1st.

29
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:25,278
So, I was just kind of trying
to put that out of my mind.

30
00:02:25,411 --> 00:02:27,279
So we got to the
concert and we were

31
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:29,182
just having a great time.

32
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:33,620
There's something
special going on.

33
00:02:34,353 --> 00:02:36,188
(tense music)

34
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:37,456
There were some
swings and you could

35
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:39,292
have a great view of the strip.

36
00:02:39,425 --> 00:02:42,929
- Oh my God, we're flying now,
oops yay (laughs)

37
00:02:43,062 --> 00:02:45,431
- My friend and I were
just having so much fun.

38
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:47,567
- [Woman] Oh my God,
there's the stage.

39
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,736
- But after coming home
from three combat tours,

40
00:02:49,869 --> 00:02:52,772
10 years as a Marine,
my first concert as an adult,

41
00:02:52,905 --> 00:02:55,074
it's like my third time
to Vegas in my life.

42
00:02:55,207 --> 00:02:58,678
♪ Sing God bless America ♪

43
00:03:00,413 --> 00:03:03,349
- There was 22,000 of us
singing God Bless America,

44
00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:06,885
just enjoying the last
night of the festival.

45
00:03:07,019 --> 00:03:08,454
♪ God Bless ♪

46
00:03:08,587 --> 00:03:10,489
- Strangers for holding
hand with strangers,

47
00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:12,926
we were all swaying
back and forth.

48
00:03:13,059 --> 00:03:15,461
And we're just so
thankful to be there,

49
00:03:15,594 --> 00:03:19,799
be part of that night
and have this experience.

50
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:21,300
♪ Bless America ♪

51
00:03:21,434 --> 00:03:22,969
- And I remember
looking at my friend

52
00:03:23,102 --> 00:03:25,138
and saying,
"I think this is the happiest

53
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,306
"that I've been
since my mom died"

54
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,243
(upbeat music)

55
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,555
(machine gun firing)

56
00:03:42,688 --> 00:03:45,258
- The lady in front of me said,
"Hey, is that gunfire?"

57
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:47,025
I said, "Nah,
I think I'd recognise that,

58
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:48,594
you know, I'm a Marine."

59
00:03:48,727 --> 00:03:50,330
I was being a little cocky,
to be honest with you.

60
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:55,267
(machine gun firing)

61
00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:56,836
- Then I heard pop pop again,
I said,

62
00:03:56,969 --> 00:03:58,437
"No, that gun fire,
we need to start moving."

63
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:01,073
(machine gun firing)

64
00:04:01,206 --> 00:04:03,242
(crowd screaming)

65
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,711
- Then I knew
what the sound was,

66
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:06,311
but I didn't know where
it was coming from.

67
00:04:06,445 --> 00:04:10,316
(machine gun firing)

68
00:04:10,449 --> 00:04:12,751
And then when he
ran off the stage,

69
00:04:12,885 --> 00:04:16,322
that's when everyone realised
something is really wrong.

70
00:04:16,455 --> 00:04:18,891
(screaming)

71
00:04:19,024 --> 00:04:21,260
- The girl in front
of me fell down.

72
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:22,895
- [Woman] Oh my God.

73
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:24,830
- The man behind me,
just tackled me to the ground

74
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:27,232
and yelled,
"It's gunfire don't move."

75
00:04:27,366 --> 00:04:30,068
- [ Man] Hey,
get down, down now.

76
00:04:30,202 --> 00:04:31,937
(machine gun firing)

77
00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:33,305
- [Woman] Oh my God.

78
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:34,607
- There's in a little
in a the rounds

79
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:37,176
started ricocheting
all around us.

80
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:38,978
behind the hotdog cart.

81
00:04:39,111 --> 00:04:40,479
- [Man] Stay down.

82
00:04:40,612 --> 00:04:41,914
- I'm thinking terrorist attack,
to be honest.

83
00:04:42,047 --> 00:04:45,084
That was my initial
thought process.

84
00:04:45,217 --> 00:04:48,020
I knew people had to be helped.

85
00:04:48,153 --> 00:04:50,189
- I was going through
this tunnel right here,

86
00:04:50,322 --> 00:04:52,992
turned on my cell phone
and then the echo went like

87
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,459
(imitates machine gun firing)

88
00:04:54,593 --> 00:04:57,797
(machine gun firing)

89
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:01,067
(screaming)

90
00:05:02,401 --> 00:05:04,203
- The lights went off.

91
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:05,905
(lights banging off)

92
00:05:06,038 --> 00:05:08,006
- And I look back to
the girl in front of me

93
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:09,842
who had initially fallen

94
00:05:09,975 --> 00:05:12,345
and her eyes were
completely blank.

95
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:14,112
And I realised that
we were both laying

96
00:05:14,246 --> 00:05:15,614
in a puddle of her blood.

97
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:17,083
(machine gun firing)

98
00:05:17,216 --> 00:05:20,653
- It sounds like it's 20
or 30 feet away from me.

99
00:05:20,786 --> 00:05:22,654
That's when I called my husband

100
00:05:22,788 --> 00:05:26,859
and I told my husband,
I'm not going to make it,

101
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:31,764
I'm not going to make it,
I love you.

102
00:05:31,897 --> 00:05:33,866
- Gun shots came,
raining bullets all over us,

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,401
stay on the ground.

104
00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:37,035
- [Man] He's shooting
from the Mandalay Bay.

105
00:05:37,169 --> 00:05:39,071
- Felt like I was never
getting away from the bullets.

106
00:05:39,205 --> 00:05:40,172
(machine gun firing)

107
00:05:40,305 --> 00:05:41,307
- [Man] Move, go.

108
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,208
- I'm gonna die any second.

109
00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:44,310
- [Woman] Hey.

110
00:05:44,443 --> 00:05:45,611
(siren wailing)

111
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:47,780
(machine gun firing)

112
00:05:47,913 --> 00:05:49,348
- [Officer] Here, take that.

113
00:05:49,481 --> 00:05:50,916
He shot from the
window of Mandalay Bay.

114
00:05:51,049 --> 00:05:52,752
Let's move, go.

115
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:54,487
(screams)

116
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:55,687
- [Man] Move that way, now.

117
00:05:55,821 --> 00:05:57,322
Let's move that way, now.

118
00:05:57,456 --> 00:06:00,092
- I need (screams).

119
00:06:00,225 --> 00:06:01,960
- [Officer] It's coming
from like eight levels up.

120
00:06:02,094 --> 00:06:03,262
- You can see the fire.

121
00:06:03,395 --> 00:06:04,630
- [Officer] You
can see the blasts

122
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:06,299
from Mandalay
Bay coming through.

123
00:06:06,432 --> 00:06:07,900
- I didn't know when that
bullet was going to come,

124
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,136
but I almost felt
like it was inevitable.

125
00:06:11,003 --> 00:06:12,504
(screaming)

126
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:14,573
- I'm down, I got shot.

127
00:06:14,706 --> 00:06:16,108
- Where, where, where, where?
- My arm, my arm.

128
00:06:16,242 --> 00:06:18,443
- All right, move, move,
we got a casualty.

129
00:06:18,577 --> 00:06:20,979
Go, go, move, move.

130
00:06:21,113 --> 00:06:23,715
(machine gun firing)

131
00:06:23,849 --> 00:06:25,617
- [Officer] Just a little nick
big guy, just calm down.

132
00:06:25,751 --> 00:06:27,954
- I was running so fast,
my foot got stuck

133
00:06:28,087 --> 00:06:31,090
on the food truck hitch
and I flew onto my elbows.

134
00:06:31,223 --> 00:06:32,524
(screaming)

135
00:06:32,658 --> 00:06:34,427
And my elbow popped
up out of my arm.

136
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,328
Picked up my arm
and I kept running.

137
00:06:36,461 --> 00:06:38,330
- There, go, go, go, go, go.

138
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:42,067
- A man, ran up next to me

139
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:45,571
and said, "As soon as
this stops, you have to run.

140
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:47,606
"When the bullets stop, run."

141
00:06:47,739 --> 00:06:49,075
And I said, "I don't know where

142
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,743
these bullets were coming from."

143
00:06:50,876 --> 00:06:53,712
As he turned to point in
the Mandalay Bay direction,

144
00:06:53,845 --> 00:06:56,448
"They're coming from over-"

145
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:57,816
And then I heard it ping

146
00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:59,785
and he fell
backwards into my lap.

147
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:01,987
And I looked down at his face

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,656
and there was a bullet
hole above his eye.

149
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:10,362
And my hands had just sunk

150
00:07:10,496 --> 00:07:16,068
And it just felt like my hands
were inside of a pumpkin.

151
00:07:16,201 --> 00:07:19,572
And I screamed
and just kept running.

152
00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:22,608
- MGM Live Nation,
had concrete barriers

153
00:07:22,741 --> 00:07:25,178
randomly behind our booths.

154
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:28,180
So when the crowd
started filtering in,

155
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:30,516
I got pushed over
the concrete barrier

156
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:32,985
from the booth
because the people

157
00:07:33,118 --> 00:07:35,187
started tearing down
the big thick walls

158
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,059
for us to get out.

159
00:07:40,192 --> 00:07:42,828
- There's 22,000 people
and we're all trying to get out.

160
00:07:42,961 --> 00:07:44,964
But there not enough exits.

161
00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:48,767
And with the top of the fence,
I just kind of rolled over.

162
00:07:48,901 --> 00:07:51,903
(machine gun firing)

163
00:07:52,037 --> 00:07:55,140
And when I hit the concrete,
I lost consciousness.

164
00:07:55,273 --> 00:07:58,010
(sirens wailing)

165
00:08:00,512 --> 00:08:02,882
- He fired over 1100 pounds.

166
00:08:03,015 --> 00:08:06,118
So, after the final volley,

167
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:11,390
he picked up the LMT,
fired two additional rounds.

168
00:08:11,523 --> 00:08:14,727
One he fired into the tank area

169
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:17,563
and then 10 seconds later,
he fired another one.

170
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:20,933
(gun banging)

171
00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:25,337
Picks up the revolver,
walked towards the window

172
00:08:25,471 --> 00:08:26,939
and fired the last round.

173
00:08:27,073 --> 00:08:28,073
(gun banging)

174
00:08:28,207 --> 00:08:30,776
(tense music)

175
00:08:38,150 --> 00:08:40,185
- I find another young
lady that was shot

176
00:08:40,319 --> 00:08:42,287
and I put her in the car.

177
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:44,757
I ended up running
back in and at that point,

178
00:08:44,890 --> 00:08:46,792
a young lady was hit in the eye.

179
00:09:08,213 --> 00:09:09,315
(siren wailing)

180
00:09:12,184 --> 00:09:15,655
- The next thing I remember
was someone shaking me

181
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:18,557
and things slowly starting
to come back into focus.

182
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:19,758
- [Man] On your feet.

183
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,261
- We finally got into Hooters.

184
00:09:22,394 --> 00:09:24,830
There were bloody
footprints everywhere.

185
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:28,200
- I get into Hooters and
there was people in there

186
00:09:28,333 --> 00:09:30,503
and they're bleeding
and they're screaming.

187
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:33,305
And everybody,
it's just complete chaos.

188
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:34,673
My husband's texting me.

189
00:09:34,807 --> 00:09:36,108
He's following Instagram.

190
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,276
He said, "Shooter
headed towards Hooters."

191
00:09:38,410 --> 00:09:39,678
He says, "Get out."

192
00:09:39,811 --> 00:09:42,314
- At 10:45 about,
we heard a noise,

193
00:09:42,447 --> 00:09:44,550
from directly outside
the exit closest to us,

194
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:47,886
that sounded like
another volley of shots.

195
00:09:48,019 --> 00:09:50,889
At that point, we all panicked.

196
00:09:51,023 --> 00:09:53,859
The shots sounded very close.

197
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:57,996
Too close to be
from the same source

198
00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:59,832
as the shooting at the venue.

199
00:09:59,965 --> 00:10:03,168
So, that's when it
really occurred to us,

200
00:10:03,302 --> 00:10:05,671
maybe there's more
than one person involved.

201
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:08,540
- I remember just following a
big group into the Tropicana,

202
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:10,509
then running into another room

203
00:10:10,642 --> 00:10:14,279
because somebody said, "They're
coming, they're coming."

204
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:16,315
And that's what I
ended up in the MGM.

205
00:10:16,448 --> 00:10:17,883
It was like about midnight,

206
00:10:18,016 --> 00:10:19,385
and that's when people
came right into the casino,

207
00:10:19,518 --> 00:10:21,187
screaming like saying
there were shooters

208
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,688
coming after them too.

209
00:10:22,821 --> 00:10:25,958
I sat there crying in
tears and these gamblers

210
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,693
just sat there and
smoked their cigarettes

211
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:29,127
and just looked at us like,

212
00:10:29,261 --> 00:10:30,428
what's going on here
with these people,

213
00:10:30,562 --> 00:10:31,964
you know, gambling.

214
00:10:33,298 --> 00:10:35,433
- As soon as we got
outside of Hooters,

215
00:10:35,567 --> 00:10:40,940
it was Vegas as normal.

216
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:44,944
It was like stepping
into a different world.

217
00:10:50,549 --> 00:10:52,284
I was completely
covered in blood

218
00:10:52,418 --> 00:10:54,987
and all down the front of me
and dripping down my legs.

219
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,390
And no one seemed
to notice or care.

220
00:10:58,523 --> 00:11:01,826
It was just, "Oh here's a
customer, she needs a cab,

221
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,229
let's get her into one."

222
00:11:04,462 --> 00:11:09,869
We drove to my hotel,
a woman who was going up

223
00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:15,174
the escalator looked at
me and just turned green

224
00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:19,845
and threw up because I
literally looked like a zombie

225
00:11:19,978 --> 00:11:21,814
who had just come
out of a horror movie,

226
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:23,282
but it was real life.

227
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,050
The one side of
my face and my hair

228
00:11:25,183 --> 00:11:27,018
was completely soaked with blood

229
00:11:27,152 --> 00:11:29,555
from when the
shooting first started.

230
00:11:29,688 --> 00:11:32,091
And I had laid next
to the girl in front of me

231
00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:37,996
and the rest of my body
was covered in blood.

232
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:42,400
And what was essentially,

233
00:11:42,534 --> 00:11:46,037
the man who had tried
to help me, his brains

234
00:11:46,171 --> 00:11:47,406
all over the front of me.

235
00:11:47,539 --> 00:11:48,440
I just broke down.

236
00:11:48,573 --> 00:11:51,042
I was hysterical.

237
00:11:51,176 --> 00:11:54,346
I was screaming, I was crying,

238
00:11:54,479 --> 00:11:57,382
I had lost control over
all of my emotions.

239
00:11:57,516 --> 00:12:00,286
And a floor manager
came up to me

240
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:03,789
and he told me that I
need to calm down,

241
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:07,859
I was drunk and
that I had spilled,

242
00:12:07,993 --> 00:12:10,395
it looked what he thought
looked like spaghetti,

243
00:12:10,528 --> 00:12:13,365
all over myself, and that I
should go up to my room

244
00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:16,835
and take a nap and change
and everything was fine.

245
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:18,537
(tense music)

246
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:21,106
- We ended up making it
out to Henderson hospital.

247
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,742
So waking up at
3:00 AM from surgery

248
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:26,311
and my arm isn't the same.

249
00:12:26,444 --> 00:12:28,413
Couldn't move,
Couldn't move for a week.

250
00:12:28,546 --> 00:12:30,682
And that's all that I
did was lay around,

251
00:12:30,815 --> 00:12:32,651
for like two-and-a-half months.

252
00:12:32,784 --> 00:12:35,253
- Here I am in a wheelchair,

253
00:12:35,387 --> 00:12:37,155
because I couldn't
walk properly.

254
00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:41,794
I had hematomas the size of
baseballs, two on each side.

255
00:12:43,662 --> 00:12:47,933
- I had 10 breaks in
seven different bones.

256
00:12:48,066 --> 00:12:50,102
Three bones in my
right foot were broken

257
00:12:50,235 --> 00:12:53,205
and I had three pretty
serious fractures in my pelvis.

258
00:12:53,338 --> 00:12:56,075
(dramatic music)

259
00:13:00,846 --> 00:13:04,383
- Good evening, obviously
I'm Sheriff Joe Lombardo

260
00:13:04,516 --> 00:13:07,219
from Clark County,
and I'm here to talk to you

261
00:13:07,352 --> 00:13:09,354
about the tragic event
that's taking place

262
00:13:09,488 --> 00:13:10,956
at the Mandalay Bay.

263
00:13:11,089 --> 00:13:13,826
We determined there was
a shooter on the 32nd floor.

264
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:15,961
Officers responded
to that location

265
00:13:16,095 --> 00:13:19,131
and engaged the
suspect at that location.

266
00:13:19,264 --> 00:13:23,569
He is dead,
we are looking at an excess

267
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:26,238
of 50 individuals dead

268
00:13:26,371 --> 00:13:30,009
and over 200 individuals
injured, at this point.

269
00:13:32,044 --> 00:13:35,013
There has been multiple,
multiple phone calls

270
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:38,250
and accusations or conjecture

271
00:13:38,383 --> 00:13:40,218
coming through social media

272
00:13:40,352 --> 00:13:43,021
that there is multiple
shooters at other resorts

273
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:46,191
that has been
proven to be false.

274
00:13:46,324 --> 00:13:48,994
- Within less than 12 hours,
he had already

275
00:13:49,127 --> 00:13:52,097
dismissed the possibility
of multiple shooters.

276
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:54,599
He had already
dismissed the possibility

277
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:57,169
of it being terrorist related.

278
00:13:57,302 --> 00:14:00,338
- We believe it's a sole actor,
a lone Wolf type actor,

279
00:14:00,472 --> 00:14:02,641
and we have the
place under control.

280
00:14:02,775 --> 00:14:05,611
- This crime scene
included the Mandalay Bay.

281
00:14:05,744 --> 00:14:08,013
It included a venue that was

282
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:10,448
four times as long
as a football field.

283
00:14:10,582 --> 00:14:13,685
It included the streets
around the venue.

284
00:14:13,818 --> 00:14:16,788
It included what people
had heard at the Tropicana.

285
00:14:16,922 --> 00:14:18,524
There were people
that passed away

286
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:21,994
as far away as the
street in front of Hooters.

287
00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:25,697
So, I don't know how it
could have been investigated

288
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:28,200
within less than 12 hours.

289
00:14:30,368 --> 00:14:32,270
- My name is Mike Turber,
I was former intelligence

290
00:14:32,404 --> 00:14:35,941
in the air force, I was a
senior intelligence analyst.

291
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,243
And over the time
that I did that job,

292
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:40,079
I acquired a certain skillset

293
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,380
that becomes rather useful,
in the type of situation

294
00:14:42,514 --> 00:14:44,917
that I found myself in,
in Las Vegas.

295
00:14:46,451 --> 00:14:49,221
The very first task
that I was given

296
00:14:49,354 --> 00:14:51,891
by the attorneys was
to determine how safe

297
00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:55,127
or how secure their
service elevators were.

298
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:56,895
- In the aftermath
of One October,

299
00:14:57,028 --> 00:15:00,432
MGM resorts in Mandalay Bay
promised to increase security,

300
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,867
especially around the
guest and service elevators.

301
00:15:03,001 --> 00:15:04,202
- The service elevator is how

302
00:15:04,336 --> 00:15:06,104
the One October
shooter got his weapons

303
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:09,074
into his hotel room.

304
00:15:09,207 --> 00:15:12,010
would be very closely
monitored by the hotel,

305
00:15:12,143 --> 00:15:13,177
but perhaps not.

306
00:15:13,311 --> 00:15:15,580
- There's no key required.

307
00:15:15,713 --> 00:15:17,482
(elevator beeps)

308
00:15:17,615 --> 00:15:20,052
I was able to go up and
down those service elevators

309
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:23,188
at will, without anyone
ever asking me a question.

310
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:25,224
- [Reporter] This is Mike
Turber, making the same trip

311
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:27,626
through the hallways and
up the service elevator,

312
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:30,262
something he said
he's done 27 times

313
00:15:30,395 --> 00:15:33,598
since the One October shooting.

314
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:37,169
Paddock used to transport
his arsenal to his hotel room.

315
00:15:37,302 --> 00:15:39,037
(elevator beeping)

316
00:15:39,171 --> 00:15:40,439
- He actually had help,

317
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:42,541
with the valet bringing
up the weapons

318
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:44,910
and into a cart
and up to his room.

319
00:15:45,043 --> 00:15:46,511
- Metro police here in Las Vegas

320
00:15:46,644 --> 00:15:49,314
confirmed a bump stock
was added to the weapons

321
00:15:49,447 --> 00:15:53,152
pictured in those exclusive
photos that I obtained.

322
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:54,886
- Several images
of Stephen Paddock

323
00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:56,722
were leaked to the media.

324
00:15:56,855 --> 00:15:59,458
- What I can tell you is
I'm very troubled by it.

325
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:01,693
And we have an
internal investigation

326
00:16:01,826 --> 00:16:03,295
occurring as we speak,

327
00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:10,135
on how those photographs
were obtained by the public.

328
00:16:10,268 --> 00:16:12,904
the source of those
leaked images.

329
00:16:13,037 --> 00:16:15,975
(peaceful music)

330
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:22,714
Your department has
worked through the night

331
00:16:22,847 --> 00:16:24,082
to identify all the victims

332
00:16:24,216 --> 00:16:25,818
of Sunday evening's
mass shooting

333
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:28,620
at the route 91
Harvest Festival.

334
00:16:28,753 --> 00:16:31,289
We have identified
all but three victims.

335
00:16:31,423 --> 00:16:32,624
We still have an active scene

336
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:35,527
at the grounds
near Mandalay Bay.

337
00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:37,796
- There's a wonderful guy,
his name is Greg Zanis.

338
00:16:37,929 --> 00:16:41,100
He made all of these
white crosses, 58 crosses

339
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:44,803
and displays them at the
Las Vegas welcome sign.

340
00:16:44,936 --> 00:16:47,306
- I'm planning to put every
name on these crosses.

341
00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:50,275
I'm trying to get every single
photograph on these crosses.

342
00:16:50,409 --> 00:16:51,944
And this just shows everybody,

343
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:53,345
the severity of
what happened here

344
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:55,513
as you look down
this row of crosses.

345
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:57,682
And I'd like to just
show everybody

346
00:16:57,816 --> 00:17:01,886
that we're sick and tired
of murders here in America.

347
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:03,421
(solemn music)

348
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:04,990
- We talking about the
largest mass shooting

349
00:17:05,123 --> 00:17:07,158
in the history of
the United States.

350
00:17:07,292 --> 00:17:15,767
58 deceased victims.

351
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,172
directly related to the
One October shooting.

352
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:21,907
- The fund that the sheriff
and I set up yesterday,

353
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,444
has now surpassed
53,000 individual donations.

354
00:17:25,577 --> 00:17:28,180
That's an excess
of $3.7 million.

355
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:30,249
- Vegas Strong was a
GoFundMe fundraiser,

356
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:32,550
that was started by Steve
Sisolak and Joe Lombardo.

357
00:17:32,684 --> 00:17:34,386
Steve Sisolak
running for governor

358
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,321
and Joe Lombardo,
who was running for reelection

359
00:17:36,454 --> 00:17:37,923
for sheriff of Clark County.

360
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:40,725
- So at this point,
I wanna thank the community,

361
00:17:40,858 --> 00:17:43,762
I wanna thank you for
letting me be your sheriff

362
00:17:43,895 --> 00:17:45,463
and Vegas Strong.

363
00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:48,166
- It's popped up all over since
the One October shooting.

364
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,901
Billboards, posters,
and of course

365
00:17:50,035 --> 00:17:52,904
on the internet as a hashtag,
Vegas Strong.

366
00:17:53,038 --> 00:17:56,207
More than just the phrase now,
a symbol of the city's unity.

367
00:17:56,341 --> 00:17:58,710
- We put the Vegas
Strong up on the building

368
00:17:58,843 --> 00:18:01,113
just to kind of show, you know,
unity with the community

369
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:02,581
that we are part
of the movement.

370
00:18:02,714 --> 00:18:04,349
Along with a lot of
other local businesses,

371
00:18:04,482 --> 00:18:06,384
we put the Vegas strong
up and we wanted to support

372
00:18:06,518 --> 00:18:09,754
the movement and help
raise money for the victims.

373
00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:12,424
(tense music)

374
00:18:14,192 --> 00:18:15,493
This is the Healing Garden.

375
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:18,530
This is the garden
dedicated to the victims

376
00:18:18,663 --> 00:18:20,632
of the October 1st shooting.

377
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,402
(somber music)

378
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:30,976
The school that my kids go to,

379
00:18:31,109 --> 00:18:33,612
had a night where
everybody got to paint a tile

380
00:18:33,745 --> 00:18:35,180
and they brought
it here and they

381
00:18:35,313 --> 00:18:36,815
put them here in
the Healing Garden.

382
00:18:36,948 --> 00:18:42,287
I'm trying to find my tile now.

383
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,996
And here's one
of them right here.

384
00:18:52,130 --> 00:18:58,203
- The healing garden is located
in a nowhere of Las Vegas.

385
00:18:58,336 --> 00:19:02,241
The world Trade Centre,
9/11 Memorial,

386
00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:04,375
is that, you know,
on a river somewhere?

387
00:19:04,509 --> 00:19:06,211
Or is it, you know,
near Central Park?

388
00:19:06,344 --> 00:19:10,348
No, it's on the site
where that occurred.

389
00:19:10,481 --> 00:19:13,919
It's is highly unusual
to have a Memorial Site,

390
00:19:14,052 --> 00:19:17,055
seven miles from the
site of the massacre.

391
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:19,791
(somber music)

392
00:19:33,471 --> 00:19:35,039
- My first initial
reaction to that,

393
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:38,943
I felt like it was overdue
for Las Vegas only because,

394
00:19:39,077 --> 00:19:41,913
you know, after 9/11, when
I was still a Motor Sergeant

395
00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:44,682
and a lot of reports came
in that they might be trying

396
00:19:44,816 --> 00:19:47,419
to bring a tanker
truck down the strip

397
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:49,721
and crash it into something
that would be an easy way

398
00:19:49,854 --> 00:19:52,958
to make a giant explosion,
kill a lot of people,

399
00:19:53,091 --> 00:19:54,659
after 9/11.

400
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:56,695
So the first time in my life
I ever went down the strip

401
00:19:56,828 --> 00:20:01,800
and I didn't see any taxis,
hardly any cars and no people.

402
00:20:01,933 --> 00:20:05,070
When it's a Saturday and
it should have been packed.

403
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:06,738
And that went on for weeks.

404
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,875
So they're definitely
aware that if people thought

405
00:20:11,009 --> 00:20:16,948
there was a terrorist attack
being carried out in Las Vegas,

406
00:20:17,081 --> 00:20:18,450
fast and furious.

407
00:20:20,018 --> 00:20:21,386
- Las Vegas emergency incidents.

408
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,954
We were the first
people that report live

409
00:20:23,087 --> 00:20:25,857
from the route 91 concert
through our members

410
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:27,692
and through one
of our page admins,

411
00:20:27,825 --> 00:20:29,661
they were live streaming
and putting it on our page.

412
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:31,196
So,
when the shooting was happening

413
00:20:31,329 --> 00:20:32,864
and the first shots were fired,

414
00:20:32,997 --> 00:20:36,001
it was being streamed
live on our page at the time.

415
00:20:36,134 --> 00:20:39,103
So, we actually became
the first people to report it,

416
00:20:39,237 --> 00:20:41,873
you know, through our page
members in the entire world.

417
00:20:42,006 --> 00:20:44,743
We have multiple
reports of multiple shooters

418
00:20:44,876 --> 00:20:46,678
coming in from
all over the place.

419
00:21:03,027 --> 00:21:04,863
- There is radio reports,
but it's, you know,

420
00:21:04,996 --> 00:21:08,800
not like we haven't
gotten false radio reports,

421
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,902
and they turned
out to be unfounded.

422
00:21:11,035 --> 00:21:15,407
And so you can't totally
rely on a radio report.

423
00:21:27,718 --> 00:21:31,189
- I believe I heard a
second shooter at Hooters,

424
00:21:31,322 --> 00:21:32,991
which may or may not be correct,

425
00:21:33,124 --> 00:21:36,694
but that's what I strongly
believe that I had heard.

426
00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:38,430
And I know I
wasn't the only one.

427
00:21:38,563 --> 00:21:40,932
So I called the
Las Vegas police,

428
00:21:41,065 --> 00:21:44,335
and I told them exactly
what my experience was,

429
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:47,438
including the
fact that I believe

430
00:21:47,572 --> 00:21:49,741
there was a second
shooter at Hooters.

431
00:21:49,874 --> 00:21:53,011
They told me that my
recollection must be incorrect.

432
00:21:53,144 --> 00:21:55,880
Perhaps I had been
drinking too much that night

433
00:21:56,014 --> 00:22:02,553
and that they were not
interested in pursuing any leads

434
00:22:02,687 --> 00:22:08,560
a lone Wolf attack.

435
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:13,064
And I called the FBI, I told
them the same information,

436
00:22:13,197 --> 00:22:16,000
and they told me,
"You need to stop saying that

437
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:18,437
there was a second shooter,
that's not what happened."

438
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:20,772
- I hear the shooting
and then I pan up,

439
00:22:20,905 --> 00:22:23,141
and you can see that stroke.

440
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:24,308
I thought that was the shooter

441
00:22:24,442 --> 00:22:26,043
right there on the 10th floor.

442
00:22:26,177 --> 00:22:30,816
So, here I am coming up here
and this is where I stopped.

443
00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:34,619
And this is where I was
hearing the shooting.

444
00:22:34,753 --> 00:22:38,056
(machine gun firing)

445
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:42,927
And of course,
right above is room 134 and 35.

446
00:22:43,061 --> 00:22:47,298
- Most of the shooting that
you hear through your recording,

447
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,967
it sounds fairly distant.

448
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:52,203
- It seems like it's
coming from up there.

449
00:22:52,337 --> 00:22:53,238
(machine gun firing)

450
00:22:53,371 --> 00:22:54,706
Oh (beeps).

451
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:58,376
- There's one burst
where it's really loud.

452
00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:01,747
(machine gun firing)

453
00:23:05,283 --> 00:23:09,020
There's lots of conspiracies
related to that video.

454
00:23:09,153 --> 00:23:12,190
- Right, that's when I'm going
underneath the portraiture.

455
00:23:12,323 --> 00:23:14,158
- Okay, so you think that
was simply because of

456
00:23:14,291 --> 00:23:17,396
your proximity to where
the shooting was happening.

457
00:23:20,431 --> 00:23:23,535
- The FBI came over
and it was nine days later,

458
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:26,904
and they said, "Oh,
we're leaving no stone unturned,

459
00:23:27,038 --> 00:23:30,341
and we just wanna let
you know that there was only

460
00:23:30,474 --> 00:23:33,978
one shooter and he's dead."

461
00:23:34,111 --> 00:23:35,647
And I thought, well,
that's kind of weird.

462
00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:37,915
Why did you just tell
me five minutes ago

463
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,818
that you're leaving
no stone unturned,

464
00:23:39,951 --> 00:23:42,087
and really, you know,
looking things up,

465
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:44,623
and now you're telling me
there's only one shooter.

466
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:48,860
I think the FBI saw that
people had seen my video

467
00:23:48,993 --> 00:23:51,663
millions of times, and I
had been in some interviews,

468
00:23:51,796 --> 00:23:56,667
and wanted to make sure
that I was telling people

469
00:23:56,801 --> 00:23:59,003
that there was only one
shooter and he's dead.

470
00:23:59,136 --> 00:24:00,472
So, you know what?

471
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:02,440
Come on back to Vegas,
spend your money.

472
00:24:02,574 --> 00:24:05,177
(somber music)

473
00:24:08,012 --> 00:24:09,981
- The machines aren't
working if you're not pulling

474
00:24:10,114 --> 00:24:13,451
the one arm band and
they're not making no money.

475
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:15,921
And I think that's
what they're afraid of.

476
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:19,156
(somber music)

477
00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,192
I think they were
afraid of a period of time

478
00:24:21,325 --> 00:24:24,029
where people say it's
not safe to go to Vegas.

479
00:24:26,130 --> 00:24:28,766
- It's been a very,
very difficult time for us.

480
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,335
And as we look
forward to continuing

481
00:24:31,469 --> 00:24:34,205
what our great city does.

482
00:24:34,338 --> 00:24:39,310
We offer a safe place,
this is a crazed lunatic

483
00:24:39,444 --> 00:24:43,648
full of hate, we don't know
much about his background.

484
00:24:43,781 --> 00:24:45,750
- The brother of the
suspect is in town,

485
00:24:45,883 --> 00:24:47,752
we are in contact with him,

486
00:24:47,886 --> 00:24:50,188
along with the other
family members.

487
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:52,623
- My goal was to
try to help the cops.

488
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:55,060
I just tried to help
them understand

489
00:24:55,193 --> 00:24:56,794
Steve's psyche better,

490
00:24:56,928 --> 00:25:00,097
and how people like us are,
but we're not normal people.

491
00:25:00,231 --> 00:25:01,298
(yells)

492
00:25:01,432 --> 00:25:04,035
(laughs)

493
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:07,304
My dad was on the
10 most wanted FBI list

494
00:25:07,438 --> 00:25:08,906
for nine fucking years.

495
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:11,008
- The older Paddock
surfaced in Springfield, Oregon

496
00:25:11,142 --> 00:25:14,079
in the late 1970s,
under the Erickson alias,

497
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:16,547
after escaping from prison
where he'd been serving

498
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:19,251
a 20-year sentence
for robbing a bank.

499
00:25:20,585 --> 00:25:22,920
- There was no trail.

500
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:25,690
He's never done all the shit
that your normal dumb fuck

501
00:25:25,823 --> 00:25:27,525
who goes out and
shoot some people does.

502
00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:33,732
Steve was a very smart guy,
I was in business with him

503
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:36,801
I mean, we ended up with
a bunch of million dollars.

504
00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:41,273
Oh, working our way up from
a duplex in North Hollywood

505
00:25:43,007 --> 00:25:47,678
to 110-unit apartment
building in Meskil, Texas.

506
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:50,882
(tense music)

507
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:56,220
He was retired and then lived
playing freaking video poker,

508
00:25:56,354 --> 00:25:58,723
when he was 40 years old.

509
00:25:59,657 --> 00:26:02,227
(tense music)

510
00:26:14,371 --> 00:26:15,907
He started in Reno

511
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,143
because he was a much
bigger fish in a littler pond.

512
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:22,080
He'd say "Here, here's a
hundred thousand dollars,

513
00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:24,582
"I'm gonna play."

514
00:26:24,715 --> 00:26:25,884
"here's a nice room for you,

515
00:26:26,017 --> 00:26:27,151
"and blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah."

516
00:26:27,284 --> 00:26:31,323
(dramatic music)

517
00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:33,825
whatever they call
their fancy shit club.

518
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:38,029
He wasn't doing
it to get any richer,

519
00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:40,798
he was doing it 'cause you
get to hang out in the hotel

520
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:41,933
and it's nice.

521
00:26:42,066 --> 00:26:43,568
And the people bring you drinks,

522
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:45,136
and they bring you
a nice fat shrimps,

523
00:26:45,269 --> 00:26:47,973
and you get to eat in
really good restaurants.

524
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:50,508
The goal was to gamble
effectively enough

525
00:26:50,642 --> 00:26:54,746
to pay for all that stuff,
so it didn't cost him anything.

526
00:26:54,879 --> 00:26:56,981
At Atlanta's,
we took over the whole top floor

527
00:26:57,114 --> 00:27:00,251
because he brought my
whole extended family (laughs)

528
00:27:00,384 --> 00:27:03,020
there for a week, 'cause
he had a bazillion points,

529
00:27:03,154 --> 00:27:05,189
and he knew it was
coming to an end there,

530
00:27:05,322 --> 00:27:07,392
'cause they had started
crunching him down a little bit,

531
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:09,394
and they pushed him out of Reno

532
00:27:09,527 --> 00:27:12,197
by just cutting off
his comps and stuff.

533
00:27:14,198 --> 00:27:17,902
- There was one place where
the average person could come,

534
00:27:18,036 --> 00:27:19,670
and they were
treated like Kings.

535
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:22,306
(upbeat music)

536
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,777
♪ Las Vegas, Las Vegas ♪

537
00:27:27,912 --> 00:27:29,514
- The mob wanted people to fly

538
00:27:29,647 --> 00:27:31,148
to some shit hole in the desert

539
00:27:31,282 --> 00:27:33,051
to spend their
hard earned money.

540
00:27:33,184 --> 00:27:36,187
John and Jane Q Citizen
making $30,000 a year

541
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,923
would come to Las Vegas,
earn $3,000 and lose it.

542
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:41,793
They got great rooms comped
and they got free drinks.

543
00:27:41,926 --> 00:27:46,631
♪ Las Vegas,
no one does it better. ♪

544
00:27:46,764 --> 00:27:49,434
(drums banging)

545
00:27:52,002 --> 00:27:54,305
- Las Vegas was the last resort,

546
00:27:54,439 --> 00:28:00,178
it was like tombstone territory
where old Outlaws go to die.

547
00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:02,313
The mob was real
generous with everything,

548
00:28:02,446 --> 00:28:07,352
they gave the rooms away,
they gave the drinks away.

549
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:10,621
just making money
on the gambling table.

550
00:28:10,755 --> 00:28:15,026
Everybody kinda knew
which mobster ran which joint.

551
00:28:15,159 --> 00:28:17,195
- This is the Royal Resort,
now it used to be called

552
00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:20,464
Joseline's Royal casino,
this was my dad's joint.

553
00:28:20,598 --> 00:28:22,867
And we'd come here
and hang out after school,

554
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,469
we'd do our homework at the bar,

555
00:28:24,602 --> 00:28:26,770
unlimited Shirley Temples
and grilled cheeses.

556
00:28:26,904 --> 00:28:28,606
I grew up in a
casino in Las Vegas.

557
00:28:28,739 --> 00:28:32,076
- Food and rooms and all that
was just seen as the service

558
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:33,878
to keep the machines turning.

559
00:28:34,012 --> 00:28:36,347
And you always felt welcome,
even if you were poor.

560
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,115
'cause we were all poor
when we walked out the door

561
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:39,751
for the most part, right?

562
00:28:39,884 --> 00:28:41,453
- You could lose all
the money that you had,

563
00:28:41,586 --> 00:28:44,088
and you'd be comped,
dinners and breakfasts,

564
00:28:44,221 --> 00:28:45,690
and rooms,
and everybody was a high

565
00:28:45,823 --> 00:28:47,091
roller, when they came to Vegas.

566
00:28:47,225 --> 00:28:48,659
You'd come back
here the next year,

567
00:28:48,793 --> 00:28:49,894
and blow all your money again.

568
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,663
- The main crime was skimming.

569
00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:54,866
And the mobsters
protected their turf

570
00:28:54,999 --> 00:28:57,001
to the extent that they
didn't wanna draw attention,

571
00:28:57,135 --> 00:28:59,370
and the street criminals,
drew attention.

572
00:28:59,503 --> 00:29:00,872
So they stopped and
got 'em out of town,

573
00:29:01,005 --> 00:29:02,573
they put them in a shallow grave

574
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:04,041
over in San Bernardino County.

575
00:29:04,175 --> 00:29:06,977
The old mob didn't
allow street crime.

576
00:29:07,111 --> 00:29:08,480
- When the mob ran that town,

577
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:10,381
people didn't lock
their doors at night,

578
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:13,484
it was considered to be
a safe town back then.

579
00:29:13,617 --> 00:29:16,320
- Mobsters were skimming
money off the casinos,

580
00:29:16,454 --> 00:29:18,623
and not paying
taxes on that money.

581
00:29:18,756 --> 00:29:21,292
But in the 1980s,
they started getting caught.

582
00:29:21,425 --> 00:29:23,327
- So you're starting
to see a transition

583
00:29:23,460 --> 00:29:25,930
from the old kind of
mobsters with the bent noses

584
00:29:26,063 --> 00:29:27,932
to suits running the place.

585
00:29:28,065 --> 00:29:30,501
- This is a totally
integrated balanced resort.

586
00:29:30,634 --> 00:29:33,538
- The man who turned up
the wattage in Las Vegas,

587
00:29:33,671 --> 00:29:35,907
is casino mogul, Steve Wynn.

588
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,976
He set off a building
boom in the 1980s

589
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:41,179
that turned a bunch
of gambling joints

590
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:43,481
into an international
tourist spot.

591
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:45,849
Steve Wynn was the reason
why Vegas is the way it is,

592
00:29:45,983 --> 00:29:47,451
he's responsible for it.

593
00:29:47,584 --> 00:29:49,520
When he sold the Golden
Nugget and he built the Mirage,

594
00:29:49,653 --> 00:29:51,155
he changed Las Vegas.

595
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:54,225
- Tropical setting with
lagoons an atrium, tall palms.

596
00:29:54,358 --> 00:29:56,627
And you can see the showroom
where Siegfried and Roy

597
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,262
are gonna perform.

598
00:29:58,396 --> 00:30:02,433
- Today is a great day,
a dream come true, the Mirage.

599
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:05,703
- It just exploded.

600
00:30:05,836 --> 00:30:07,839
That's where the
template for the

601
00:30:07,972 --> 00:30:10,675
current Las Vegas
casinos evolved from.

602
00:30:10,808 --> 00:30:12,610
Las Vegas started to change.

603
00:30:12,743 --> 00:30:16,180
(dramatic music)

604
00:30:16,313 --> 00:30:17,681
- They're getting
rid of the small,

605
00:30:17,815 --> 00:30:19,350
independent owned casinos,

606
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,151
going more into
the corporate world.

607
00:30:21,285 --> 00:30:22,787
Big money was
starting to run the town

608
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:26,891
as opposed to the
people that lived there.

609
00:30:27,025 --> 00:30:29,126
That's when you started
seeing the implosions,

610
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:32,996
(explosion booming)

611
00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:34,331
- All that old stuff
had come down

612
00:30:34,465 --> 00:30:36,267
and all the new
stuff was coming up.

613
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,838
Monte Carlo, Bellagio,
all these new mega resorts.

614
00:30:40,971 --> 00:30:43,975
(dramatic music)

615
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:45,643
In the mid 90s,
Las Vegas was going through

616
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:49,013
this family-friendly phase
and MGM over here,

617
00:30:49,146 --> 00:30:50,248
they decided to
build a theme park

618
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:52,049
on the back of the property.

619
00:30:52,182 --> 00:30:53,584
- It was starting
to become a place

620
00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:55,119
you could bring your kids to.

621
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:56,721
And then they realised
all these people here,

622
00:30:56,854 --> 00:30:58,422
spending time with their
kids are not in the casinos.

623
00:30:58,556 --> 00:31:02,961
Tear down the theme park,
build more hotels.

624
00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:06,764
MGM Resorts International
owns over a dozen

625
00:31:06,897 --> 00:31:08,265
of these properties, and Caesars

626
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:10,234
owns most of the
rest of what's left.

627
00:31:10,367 --> 00:31:12,136
And then outside of that,
you have like the Wynn,

628
00:31:12,269 --> 00:31:13,738
the Cosmo and the Venetian.

629
00:31:13,871 --> 00:31:16,241
Those are owned by other people,
but for the bulk of it,

630
00:31:16,374 --> 00:31:18,576
you just have MGM
Resorts International

631
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:21,312
and Caesars
basically own all of this.

632
00:31:21,445 --> 00:31:23,147
The corporations
took over Vegas,

633
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,485
and it went from having on
880,000 people in 1990 to

634
00:31:27,618 --> 00:31:30,321
around one-and-a-half
million by the year 2000.

635
00:31:31,321 --> 00:31:32,957
- The population almost doubled,

636
00:31:33,090 --> 00:31:36,827
and the money did a lot more
than double, it just blew up.

637
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:39,197
MGM started
taking over the town.

638
00:31:40,264 --> 00:31:42,133
They bought the Mirage in 2000

639
00:31:42,266 --> 00:31:44,636
and Steve Wynn took
some of that $4.4 billion

640
00:31:44,769 --> 00:31:47,137
the Mirage sold for
and opened The Wynn.

641
00:31:47,271 --> 00:31:50,575
- I'm Steve Wynn,
and this is my new hotel,

642
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:53,143
the only one I've ever
signed my name to.

643
00:31:53,277 --> 00:31:56,013
And that's where Stephen
Paddock became a regular.

644
00:31:56,147 --> 00:31:58,683
Frequent visitor
once or twice a month.

645
00:31:58,816 --> 00:32:02,019
He's been staying in
Las Vegas since 06.

646
00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:04,488
So, you know,
we're talking about 11 years.

647
00:32:04,622 --> 00:32:06,090
- I've got a picture
of Steve holding

648
00:32:06,224 --> 00:32:09,160
a $250,000 check
signed by Steve Wynn.

649
00:32:10,494 --> 00:32:11,996
- When Steve came in, they said,

650
00:32:12,129 --> 00:32:14,132
"Oh, we've got your room,
Mr. Paddock."

651
00:32:15,566 --> 00:32:18,169
(tense music)

652
00:32:20,571 --> 00:32:24,441
- Vegas is notorious
for luring you in,

653
00:32:24,575 --> 00:32:27,578
they will give you
the hottest chicks,

654
00:32:27,711 --> 00:32:30,181
they will give you
front row tickets,

655
00:32:30,314 --> 00:32:33,851
they'll give you the meals,
all of that stuff.

656
00:32:33,984 --> 00:32:36,153
- When Mandalay Bay
opened up the second tower,

657
00:32:36,286 --> 00:32:40,057
which was called The
Hotel at Mandalay Bay, 2004.

658
00:32:40,190 --> 00:32:42,360
That's when I
started working there.

659
00:32:44,395 --> 00:32:47,332
Stephen Paddock was well
known on Mandalay Bay property.

660
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:50,568
Sometimes he was moody,
never mean to any of us

661
00:32:50,701 --> 00:32:54,705
bell people,
just man of very few words.

662
00:32:54,838 --> 00:33:00,111
He was a high limit gambler.

663
00:33:00,244 --> 00:33:02,680
And he would actually come
down and shake our hand

664
00:33:02,813 --> 00:33:04,382
and he was very personable.

665
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:06,383
And that's when Stephen
Paddock was on a

666
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:10,521
real good winning streak when
Richardson owned the company.

667
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:11,856
He would win.

668
00:33:11,989 --> 00:33:13,290
(coins jingling)

669
00:33:13,424 --> 00:33:14,825
I've got texts from
him where he goes,

670
00:33:14,959 --> 00:33:16,894
they're calling my
name for the fourth time,

671
00:33:17,028 --> 00:33:19,096
I'm sending Mary
Lou up to get the shit

672
00:33:19,229 --> 00:33:22,065
because he got like
five of the six things

673
00:33:22,199 --> 00:33:24,435
in the drawing for a car.

674
00:33:24,569 --> 00:33:27,939
And he had three quarters
of the tickets in the drum.

675
00:33:28,072 --> 00:33:31,508
When he needed to burn points,
he'd go to their store

676
00:33:31,642 --> 00:33:35,312
and buy a bunch of crap,
you know, $350 sunglasses

677
00:33:35,445 --> 00:33:39,216
and $450 watches and
then I'd get a box of shit.

678
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:42,819
- As long as you got cash,
you get into jets,

679
00:33:42,953 --> 00:33:46,823
you get the dinners,
you're getting the 82 Pertrus,

680
00:33:46,957 --> 00:33:49,193
that's 20,000 a bottle.

681
00:33:49,326 --> 00:33:52,196
- TV's would show
up at my mom's house.

682
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:55,967
He did kick their ass,
he used to win plenty.

683
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:59,370
He did very well gambling,
he knew what he was doing.

684
00:33:59,503 --> 00:34:04,941
That all ended,
once MGM bought Mandalay Bay.

685
00:34:05,075 --> 00:34:07,478
Changes came immediately.

686
00:34:07,611 --> 00:34:11,748
We got lights bulbs
for a Christmas gift,

687
00:34:11,882 --> 00:34:15,352
but they taxed us
$17 on our cheque for it,

688
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:17,154
so it wasn't a gift.

689
00:34:17,288 --> 00:34:21,191
We bought a light bulb
for our Christmas gift.

690
00:34:21,325 --> 00:34:22,660
MGM International tightened up

691
00:34:22,793 --> 00:34:25,095
a whole bunch of
policies and procedures

692
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:26,430
and they started pinching

693
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:28,799
the high limit
gambler a little more

694
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:31,501
and stopped fulfilling comps.

695
00:34:31,635 --> 00:34:34,738
They didn't make
any money on him.

696
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:36,507
So, what would they do?

697
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,176
They would say, "Oh,
we're sorry, Steve,

698
00:34:39,309 --> 00:34:41,612
but there's gonna be
three X points tonight

699
00:34:41,745 --> 00:34:44,615
from midnight to six,
but you don't get

700
00:34:44,749 --> 00:34:46,084
the three X points."

701
00:34:46,217 --> 00:34:48,652
And then when they broke
the deal, he was pissed.

702
00:34:48,785 --> 00:34:50,087
The deal's a deal.

703
00:34:50,221 --> 00:34:51,655
- They were jerking
them around a lot.

704
00:34:51,789 --> 00:34:53,858
They were lying to
him about his comps.

705
00:34:53,991 --> 00:34:57,394
I've seen this countless
times with other gamblers,

706
00:34:57,528 --> 00:34:59,664
high limit gamblers,
would lose 500,000

707
00:34:59,797 --> 00:35:01,165
and leave pissed off.

708
00:35:01,298 --> 00:35:03,834
So, Mandalay Bay would
have this recovery team.

709
00:35:03,967 --> 00:35:05,302
Man, they put their ChapStick on

710
00:35:05,435 --> 00:35:08,071
and start kissing a lot of ass.

711
00:35:08,205 --> 00:35:09,774
Smoothing things over for him,

712
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:13,744
losing the amount
of money he lost.

713
00:35:13,877 --> 00:35:16,947
And they would promise
him all these comps.

714
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:18,315
(aeroplane engine roaring)

715
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:21,185
Free weekend
stay at a nice suite.

716
00:35:23,921 --> 00:35:26,924
And then you got me,
the bell guy goes

717
00:35:27,057 --> 00:35:28,859
in to go get his free room.

718
00:35:28,993 --> 00:35:31,996
And all of a sudden hotel
tower's fully committed,

719
00:35:32,129 --> 00:35:34,465
which means there
aren't any rooms available,

720
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:38,502
but they can sell
him a upgraded room.

721
00:35:38,635 --> 00:35:41,739
This high limit gambler's
thinking, the casino host

722
00:35:41,872 --> 00:35:45,409
emails me two days ago,
confirming my comps.

723
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,477
I get here and I have nothing

724
00:35:47,611 --> 00:35:49,547
and I've already
paid a hundred dollars

725
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,848
for valet,
I've have given the bell guy,

726
00:35:51,982 --> 00:35:53,317
20 guys to escort me in.

727
00:35:53,450 --> 00:35:56,220
Now I gotta pay extra
$500 for my room.

728
00:35:56,354 --> 00:35:58,922
That's supposed to be comped.

729
00:35:59,056 --> 00:36:02,960
Working as a bell
person for over 13 years,

730
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:07,397
I saw it continuously thinking

731
00:36:07,531 --> 00:36:11,335
And when they get there,
nothing is comped.

732
00:36:11,468 --> 00:36:15,472
This deceptive practice
comes from the very top.

733
00:36:15,606 --> 00:36:17,541
MGM and Mandalay Bay,
they definitely

734
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:21,545
wanna hide all these
tricks they pull on gamblers.

735
00:36:21,678 --> 00:36:24,015
They're there to make a winner,
a loser.

736
00:36:24,148 --> 00:36:25,749
- He wasn't as
successful in gambling,

737
00:36:25,883 --> 00:36:27,418
as he had been
in previous years.

738
00:36:27,551 --> 00:36:29,486
A substantial
portion of his wealth

739
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:31,122
had diminished and
that could have been

740
00:36:31,255 --> 00:36:33,056
a contributing factor.

741
00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:34,691
(tense music)

742
00:36:34,825 --> 00:36:37,895
When you blow your
cash in Vegas, you go from

743
00:36:38,028 --> 00:36:42,299
Mr C, Mr. P, Mr. G,
to get the fuck out.

744
00:36:42,432 --> 00:36:43,901
They don't want
you to know more.

745
00:36:44,034 --> 00:36:45,269
You're cast aside.

746
00:36:45,403 --> 00:36:47,237
As soon as you blow your cash,

747
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:49,941
you can't get a
fricking French fry.

748
00:36:50,074 --> 00:36:53,510
- Steve gambled $1.6
million at the Mandalay

749
00:36:53,643 --> 00:36:55,112
in the week before he did this.

750
00:36:55,245 --> 00:36:57,581
And I've got the last
four years of his W-2 Gs.

751
00:36:57,715 --> 00:36:59,950
I've got tax records
that show that

752
00:37:00,083 --> 00:37:01,585
when he came in at the Mandalay

753
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,387
and they wouldn't give
him the room he wanted,

754
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,956
he said he sat down and
gambled a million dollars.

755
00:37:06,090 --> 00:37:08,192
So they'd give him
the room he wanted.

756
00:37:08,325 --> 00:37:10,527
Violence behind gambling losses,

757
00:37:10,661 --> 00:37:13,197
is not something
that doesn't happen.

758
00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:17,568
He was really, really angry
with the gaming industry.

759
00:37:18,935 --> 00:37:21,805
- I think he wanted
revenge for the money

760
00:37:21,939 --> 00:37:24,908
he lost at Mandalay Bay.

761
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:29,280
To leave MGM
international at full.

762
00:37:31,248 --> 00:37:32,683
- He's still got two houses.

763
00:37:32,817 --> 00:37:34,585
He's got all these
guns and ammo.

764
00:37:34,718 --> 00:37:36,654
I mean, this is not some guy

765
00:37:36,787 --> 00:37:38,388
that lost a million dollars

766
00:37:38,522 --> 00:37:40,424
and decided to go home
and pack up his guns.

767
00:37:40,557 --> 00:37:43,927
He planned this.

768
00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:46,830
for us to release a timeline
and today, we have one.

769
00:37:46,964 --> 00:37:52,837
10:05, the first shots
fired by the suspect.

770
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:56,407
10:17 officers arrive
on the 32nd floor.

771
00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:59,543
10:18 security officer
tells the LVN PD officers,

772
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:02,713
he was shot and gives the
exact location of this room.

773
00:38:02,846 --> 00:38:04,982
11:20 officers entered
the suspect's room.

774
00:38:05,115 --> 00:38:06,850
They observed the
suspect down on the ground.

775
00:38:06,983 --> 00:38:10,421
- This just in,
MGM says that Metro's timeline

776
00:38:10,554 --> 00:38:13,324
of the shooting is not correct.

777
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:16,526
- I am very well aware
of the MGM statement

778
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:19,062
provided yesterday.

779
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:20,731
I agree with their statement.

780
00:38:20,864 --> 00:38:22,399
It's the timeline
associated with

781
00:38:22,532 --> 00:38:24,468
the original shot and
Mr. Campos has changed.

782
00:38:24,601 --> 00:38:28,038
- Metro now says Campos
was shot closer to 10:05,

783
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:37,113
aligning with the MGM's
timetable released yesterday,

784
00:38:37,247 --> 00:38:41,919
not the six minute gap given
earlier this week by police.

785
00:38:42,052 --> 00:38:43,821
(dramatic music)

786
00:38:43,954 --> 00:38:45,288
- Jesus Campus
was given an amount

787
00:38:45,422 --> 00:38:46,490
somewhere in the neighbourhood

788
00:38:46,623 --> 00:38:48,692
of $300,000 for his silence.

789
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:51,094
He was also gifted two condos

790
00:38:51,228 --> 00:38:54,832
and those come to the tune
of about $2,500 a month each.

791
00:38:54,965 --> 00:38:57,434
So, that's $5,000 a
month that is gifted to him

792
00:38:57,567 --> 00:38:59,303
in the form of a residence.

793
00:38:59,436 --> 00:39:00,838
And that came about the time

794
00:39:00,971 --> 00:39:03,474
that he was supposed
to be on five different

795
00:39:03,607 --> 00:39:05,609
television shows,
doing interviews.

796
00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:08,278
- Suddenly he
cancelled shortly before

797
00:39:08,412 --> 00:39:09,913
the interviews were to occur.

798
00:39:10,046 --> 00:39:13,516
Instead, he just showed
up on the Ellen Show,

799
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:15,619
with a cane and a limp.

800
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:17,320
- He shot through this door,
right?

801
00:39:17,454 --> 00:39:18,656
- Yeah, from behind the door.

802
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:20,457
I don't know how
he was shooting.

803
00:39:20,590 --> 00:39:22,360
- Out of all the
investigative reporters

804
00:39:22,493 --> 00:39:24,661
that we have that could
ask hard questions.

805
00:39:24,795 --> 00:39:26,630
I mean, Ellen DeGeneres,
who happens

806
00:39:26,764 --> 00:39:29,099
to have a whole
line of slot machines

807
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:31,869
that are sponsored
by the MGM resorts.

808
00:39:32,002 --> 00:39:35,072
- Wow, so and I mean,
it really, he saved your life

809
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:38,275
and he saved also the woman
that came out of the door

810
00:39:38,409 --> 00:39:40,076
and came to the hallway.

811
00:39:40,210 --> 00:39:43,580
- You stopped everything and
MGM Resorts and Mandalay Bay

812
00:39:43,713 --> 00:39:45,115
did everything right.

813
00:39:45,249 --> 00:39:49,252
She just threw him
soft balls and it's like,

814
00:39:49,386 --> 00:39:51,422
- There was a metal bracket
holding the door in place.

815
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:54,125
- Right, so what we're
talking about here,

816
00:39:54,258 --> 00:39:55,259
Okay, so-

817
00:39:55,392 --> 00:39:56,560
- That's the only damn interview

818
00:39:56,693 --> 00:39:59,363
that he did was
on a TV talk show.

819
00:39:59,496 --> 00:40:00,597
- You just want this to be over.

820
00:40:00,730 --> 00:40:02,166
So, you're talking about it now

821
00:40:02,299 --> 00:40:04,301
and then you're not
gonna talk about it again.

822
00:40:04,435 --> 00:40:05,469
- And she had
managed to keep him

823
00:40:05,603 --> 00:40:08,072
out of contact with any media.

824
00:40:08,205 --> 00:40:09,706
And they made sure that instead

825
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,775
of hearing the
facts from his mouth,

826
00:40:11,908 --> 00:40:14,344
we heard the facts
from their mouths.

827
00:40:14,478 --> 00:40:16,814
(somber music)

828
00:40:16,947 --> 00:40:18,649
- And tonight,
we are getting a better idea

829
00:40:18,782 --> 00:40:21,117
of what may happen to the
One October shooting site.

830
00:40:21,251 --> 00:40:24,021
- MGM resorts in Metro
are reportedly talking about

831
00:40:24,154 --> 00:40:26,289
the construction
of a SWAT building,

832
00:40:26,423 --> 00:40:28,024
on a portion of that site.

833
00:40:28,158 --> 00:40:31,195
- You would think it'd be a
conflict of interest to give

834
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:32,729
the police department
that's investigating

835
00:40:32,863 --> 00:40:34,531
you such an enormous gift.

836
00:40:34,665 --> 00:40:36,767
- The area known
as Las Vegas Village,

837
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,669
is valued at about $38 million.

838
00:40:39,803 --> 00:40:41,138
- We know we're
under investigation by

839
00:40:41,271 --> 00:40:42,873
you guys,
but we're just gonna give you

840
00:40:43,006 --> 00:40:46,042
this humongous gift that's
worth over $30 million.

841
00:40:46,176 --> 00:40:47,477
(tense music)

842
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:50,447
- This entire event
and investigation

843
00:40:50,580 --> 00:40:52,016
happened in an election year

844
00:40:52,149 --> 00:40:54,551
where Joe Lombardo
was campaigning

845
00:40:54,685 --> 00:40:56,620
to continue to be the sheriff.

846
00:40:56,754 --> 00:40:59,456
He raised over
a million dollars.

847
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:02,159
(tense music)

848
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,299
- You have Las Vegas
Boulevard stand up

849
00:41:08,432 --> 00:41:10,067
and say, "This is where
we're gonna put our money

850
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,102
because this is who
we want to have elected."

851
00:41:12,235 --> 00:41:15,272
- And then they go
more than a million dollars

852
00:41:15,405 --> 00:41:17,341
into sheriff, Joe Lombardo.

853
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:19,276
So nobody else is gonna win

854
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:20,744
if they try to run behind them

855
00:41:20,877 --> 00:41:22,279
because there is a power
machine behind them.

856
00:41:22,413 --> 00:41:28,252
And it's the gaming industry.

857
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:29,819
All the hotels want him
because he's gonna do

858
00:41:29,953 --> 00:41:32,990
what they tell him to do.

859
00:41:33,123 --> 00:41:37,294
that they're unsafe by
staying at one of our hotels.

860
00:41:37,428 --> 00:41:39,529
- I stopped even watching
the press conferences,

861
00:41:39,663 --> 00:41:41,665
because I felt like
they were a farce.

862
00:41:41,798 --> 00:41:44,167
I felt like they weren't
giving us any information.

863
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,704
It was an election year
and it was just camera time

864
00:41:47,838 --> 00:41:50,174
for Lombardo and his friends.

865
00:41:50,307 --> 00:41:51,709
- I wanna thank sheriff Lombardo

866
00:41:51,842 --> 00:41:53,877
for your leadership
and leading us

867
00:41:54,010 --> 00:41:56,513
through this terrible,
terrible day, thank you.

868
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:59,950
- Thank you, appreciate that.

869
00:42:00,083 --> 00:42:01,484
Thank you sheriff, I wanna first

870
00:42:01,618 --> 00:42:02,919
off begin by
thanking the sheriff.

871
00:42:03,053 --> 00:42:04,455
- Oh, they were
fighting each other, man.

872
00:42:04,588 --> 00:42:06,122
The camera lens
wasn't wide enough

873
00:42:06,256 --> 00:42:07,791
to get all these
people in front of it.

874
00:42:07,924 --> 00:42:10,227
- mainly were trying
to stay out of the way

875
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:11,661
because you don't want to turn

876
00:42:11,795 --> 00:42:14,698
a personal tragedy
into a political event.

877
00:42:14,831 --> 00:42:16,132
- Almost every press conference,

878
00:42:16,266 --> 00:42:18,735
you saw one figure and
that was Steve Sisolak.

879
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:20,937
You didn't see
Governor Sandoval there.

880
00:42:21,071 --> 00:42:23,741
You didn't see even Carolyn
Goodman, the Mayor there.

881
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:26,543
But you always saw Steve
Sisolak in the background.

882
00:42:26,677 --> 00:42:28,412
He was on every
national television set,

883
00:42:28,545 --> 00:42:31,248
getting face time,
using this as a springboard

884
00:42:31,381 --> 00:42:33,417
for his political campaign.

885
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:36,820
- [Narrator] But Steve Sisolak,
will fight for Nevadan women.

886
00:42:36,953 --> 00:42:39,256
- So, I support totally the
women's right to choose.

887
00:42:39,389 --> 00:42:41,625
- And you had
politicians grand standing

888
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:43,760
on this Vegas Strong movement.

889
00:42:43,894 --> 00:42:47,764
Used it as an
elevator to get elected.

890
00:42:47,897 --> 00:42:49,566
And then they weren't
following through with it.

891
00:42:49,700 --> 00:42:51,568
- I'm a journalist with
the Las Vegas Tribune.

892
00:42:51,702 --> 00:42:53,270
And I tried reaching out

893
00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:55,572
to the Vegas Strong
Resiliency Centre.

894
00:42:55,706 --> 00:42:57,241
Couldn't get anybody
on the phone.

895
00:42:57,374 --> 00:42:58,975
They wouldn't answer emails.

896
00:42:59,109 --> 00:43:01,645
I couldn't get any answers
on where this money had gone,

897
00:43:01,778 --> 00:43:03,013
if the money had gone anywhere,

898
00:43:03,147 --> 00:43:04,748
- I was told I was
gonna get back

899
00:43:04,881 --> 00:43:06,817
a certain amount of money.
And I didn't, you know.

900
00:43:06,950 --> 00:43:08,685
My kids suffered,
they didn't get a Christmas.

901
00:43:08,819 --> 00:43:10,087
My son's birthday followed up.

902
00:43:10,220 --> 00:43:11,888
He didn't get any
birthday presents.

903
00:43:12,022 --> 00:43:14,291
And it was definitely a
rough rest of the year for me.

904
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:15,759
I felt helpless and
there was nothing

905
00:43:15,892 --> 00:43:18,595
I could do to support my family.

906
00:43:18,728 --> 00:43:20,998
It's definitely taken a toll

907
00:43:21,131 --> 00:43:23,834
in changing my life as a mother.

908
00:43:23,967 --> 00:43:26,769
And I felt like I
let my kids down.

909
00:43:26,903 --> 00:43:29,206
I do,
I feel like I let them down,

910
00:43:29,339 --> 00:43:31,675
but they understand
and they get it.

911
00:43:31,808 --> 00:43:33,910
And thankfully my kids are very,
very great.

912
00:43:34,044 --> 00:43:35,679
They're amazing
children and they get it

913
00:43:35,812 --> 00:43:37,981
and they're still there for me.

914
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:39,650
There's a lot of broken people

915
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:42,019
that haven't got the
help that they needed.

916
00:43:42,152 --> 00:43:43,487
My manager's daughter was there.

917
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:44,888
She was injured,
she had to go back

918
00:43:45,021 --> 00:43:46,990
into a wheelchair
after it happened.

919
00:43:47,123 --> 00:43:48,692
She couldn't stand up for work.

920
00:43:48,826 --> 00:43:52,295
She was a chef at the
SLS and they fired her

921
00:43:52,429 --> 00:43:53,997
'cause she couldn't work.

922
00:43:54,130 --> 00:43:56,800
She lost her home,
she got a divorce.

923
00:43:56,934 --> 00:43:59,736
- You see, they got the
Vegas Strong on the firetruck.

924
00:43:59,870 --> 00:44:01,405
Then you got medic West.

925
00:44:01,538 --> 00:44:04,574
The whole town was all in
and we all got bamboozled.

926
00:44:04,708 --> 00:44:05,942
- But I went up to get coffee

927
00:44:06,075 --> 00:44:08,044
in the window of Dunkin' Donuts.

928
00:44:08,178 --> 00:44:11,148
And they were selling
Vegas Strong t-shirts

929
00:44:11,281 --> 00:44:15,953
out of the window.

930
00:44:16,086 --> 00:44:18,354
- The people that
were victimised

931
00:44:18,488 --> 00:44:19,856
continue to be victimised

932
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:22,092
because they have
not received the funds.

933
00:44:22,225 --> 00:44:24,060
I couldn't provide
for my family anymore.

934
00:44:24,194 --> 00:44:25,495
We lost everything, you know.

935
00:44:25,629 --> 00:44:27,064
My kids didn't wanna be home.

936
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:30,333
I had no cable, no money,
and I had no Christmas,

937
00:44:30,467 --> 00:44:31,468
I had nothing.

938
00:44:31,601 --> 00:44:32,635
My daughter didn't wanna be home

939
00:44:32,769 --> 00:44:34,070
because I was self medicating.

940
00:44:34,204 --> 00:44:38,608
I was heavily drinking
and I would never, ever

941
00:44:38,742 --> 00:44:43,747
allow myself to behave that
way ever prior to October 1.

942
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,383
I'm okay, one minute and the
next thing you know, I'm not.

943
00:44:46,516 --> 00:44:48,585
It can be any little thing
that can just trigger it.

944
00:44:48,718 --> 00:44:54,490
And I texted my sister, bye
and she just told me to pray.

945
00:44:54,624 --> 00:44:56,126
And to just hang in there.

946
00:44:56,259 --> 00:44:57,928
It's not anything, you know,

947
00:44:58,061 --> 00:44:59,596
you'll never know what
happened back there.

948
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:01,165
And you will never know

949
00:45:01,298 --> 00:45:04,434
this feeling that I feel,
you know, it's dark.

950
00:45:04,567 --> 00:45:06,436
And I said, "Bye."

951
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:08,138
And I turned off my phone.

952
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:10,607
Then 15 minutes later, and
somebody was banging on my door.

953
00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:13,276
The cops came and they
admitted me into the hospital.

954
00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:18,348
And I got put on this
mid-level 2000 suicidal hold

955
00:45:18,481 --> 00:45:23,987
at St. Rose,
just wanted to end my life.

956
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,591
And it's just so hard, when
I see pictures at home,

957
00:45:27,724 --> 00:45:29,025
they're not home.

958
00:45:29,159 --> 00:45:31,128
It's hard, there's been
zero help at all.

959
00:45:31,261 --> 00:45:32,729
Nobody wants to do anything.

960
00:45:32,863 --> 00:45:35,432
I've reached out
for help, many times.

961
00:45:37,601 --> 00:45:39,336
- Sisolak started a GoFundMe.

962
00:45:39,470 --> 00:45:43,006
You promised, to
account for every penny.

963
00:45:43,139 --> 00:45:46,009
Millions donated from
people all over the world.

964
00:45:46,143 --> 00:45:50,514
Money unaccounted for
the Vegas victims shooting.

965
00:45:50,647 --> 00:45:52,648
There's never been
any distribution lists

966
00:45:52,782 --> 00:45:56,420
for the Vegas shot funds and
who's receiving what money.

967
00:45:56,553 --> 00:45:58,688
- Our media is pretty
silent about the whole thing.

968
00:45:58,822 --> 00:46:00,023
They're letting
people forget about it.

969
00:46:00,156 --> 00:46:01,191
And I don't think we're willing

970
00:46:01,324 --> 00:46:03,059
to let people forget about that.

971
00:46:03,193 --> 00:46:05,562
- There's always somewhere
that a politician can blame.

972
00:46:05,696 --> 00:46:09,332
And Sisolak will say that
while I was the fundraiser,

973
00:46:09,466 --> 00:46:12,168
but I'm not responsible
for distributing.

974
00:46:12,302 --> 00:46:14,004
Well, the hell you're not.

975
00:46:14,137 --> 00:46:16,740
Because if you're not
going to distribute the money

976
00:46:16,873 --> 00:46:19,376
to the victims,
why collect it?

977
00:46:19,509 --> 00:46:22,012
(dramatic music)

978
00:46:22,145 --> 00:46:25,148
I think the community saw
October 1st as a tragedy,

979
00:46:25,281 --> 00:46:28,051
but Sisolak, he saw
it as an opportunity.

980
00:46:28,184 --> 00:46:29,186
- Every time there was an event

981
00:46:29,319 --> 00:46:30,620
that involved Vegas Strong,

982
00:46:30,753 --> 00:46:32,288
he was there walking around,

983
00:46:32,422 --> 00:46:34,158
making certain that
he got face time.

984
00:46:37,894 --> 00:46:39,295
that it never showed before.

985
00:46:39,429 --> 00:46:42,866
And I'm really proud,
with Las Vegas.

986
00:46:42,999 --> 00:46:44,401
- I saw him jumping
in front of cameras

987
00:46:44,534 --> 00:46:47,103
to show his support
and to be real emotional

988
00:46:47,236 --> 00:46:49,506
about this horrific
tragedy that happened.

989
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:51,608
But I didn't see him
dispersing any money.

990
00:46:51,741 --> 00:46:53,210
He collected a lot of money.

991
00:46:54,211 --> 00:46:55,578
- He raised over $10 million.

992
00:46:55,712 --> 00:46:58,114
And here it is on my building.

993
00:46:58,248 --> 00:47:00,583
It's over 10 feet long and
it's up there on main street.

994
00:47:00,717 --> 00:47:01,918
I've been a business owner

995
00:47:02,052 --> 00:47:04,054
in downtown Las
Vegas for over 10 years.

996
00:47:04,187 --> 00:47:07,857
And I just, I love my community.

997
00:47:07,991 --> 00:47:09,393
And I don't know
where that money's at,

998
00:47:09,526 --> 00:47:11,127
but it's not getting to
the people that need it.

999
00:47:11,261 --> 00:47:12,462
If the victims
aren't getting it,

1000
00:47:12,596 --> 00:47:14,097
the victims are
missing their rent,

1001
00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:15,499
they're missing their
mortgage payments.

1002
00:47:15,632 --> 00:47:17,100
- Eventually the
funds were distributed,

1003
00:47:17,233 --> 00:47:18,768
but they weren't
distributed at the time

1004
00:47:18,902 --> 00:47:20,136
that the people needed it.

1005
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:21,904
They needed
those funds early on.

1006
00:47:22,038 --> 00:47:23,507
That's when the
bills are racking up,

1007
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,041
that's when the rent's due,

1008
00:47:25,175 --> 00:47:26,409
the car payments due,
the insurance is due.

1009
00:47:26,543 --> 00:47:27,610
That is when they
needed the help.

1010
00:47:27,744 --> 00:47:29,579
They didn't get it.

1011
00:47:29,713 --> 00:47:31,214
- While the #VegasStrong

1012
00:47:31,347 --> 00:47:33,850
Campaign raised
over $10 million,

1013
00:47:33,984 --> 00:47:35,953
less than $20,000
were distributed

1014
00:47:36,086 --> 00:47:38,255
to the victims in
the first five months.

1015
00:47:38,388 --> 00:47:40,456
And that's kind of when
it became clear to me

1016
00:47:40,590 --> 00:47:43,026
that it was just
another campaign,

1017
00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:45,896
it was just another
slogan to make people

1018
00:47:46,029 --> 00:47:48,665
see the city in the
best light possible.

1019
00:47:48,798 --> 00:47:50,533
(peaceful music)

1020
00:47:50,667 --> 00:47:55,038
MGM emailed me
shortly after the shooting.

1021
00:47:55,172 --> 00:47:56,906
And they said that they
realised what happened

1022
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,508
that night was horrible.

1023
00:47:58,641 --> 00:48:01,444
And they'd like to
offer me a 10% coupon

1024
00:48:01,578 --> 00:48:03,914
on my next day at
one of their properties,

1025
00:48:04,047 --> 00:48:07,050
because obviously a 10%
discount in a hotel room

1026
00:48:07,183 --> 00:48:09,853
is going to just make
everything go away

1027
00:48:09,986 --> 00:48:11,855
and make all the
victims forget the hell

1028
00:48:11,988 --> 00:48:14,190
that we suffered
through that night.

1029
00:48:14,324 --> 00:48:16,593
- Sheriff, when did he
check into the hotel?

1030
00:48:16,726 --> 00:48:18,228
And what date did he
check into the hotel?

1031
00:48:18,361 --> 00:48:19,930
- To the best of
my recollection,

1032
00:48:20,063 --> 00:48:22,332
we have information on the 25th.

1033
00:48:22,466 --> 00:48:25,035
I had told you
previously, the 28th,

1034
00:48:25,168 --> 00:48:27,471
You got the timeline
changing three times

1035
00:48:27,604 --> 00:48:29,539
only because people
were calling out things.

1036
00:48:29,673 --> 00:48:31,808
- ...That have been obtained
from the valet security system.

1037
00:48:31,942 --> 00:48:35,112
- Ma'am, that's not how we
conduct this service, okay?

1038
00:48:35,245 --> 00:48:37,280
If I'm presented
with a question.

1039
00:48:37,413 --> 00:48:39,816
- Timeline change?
Because the FBI...

1040
00:48:39,949 --> 00:48:42,085
- That's not how I conduct
press conferences, ma'am.

1041
00:48:42,218 --> 00:48:43,920
- Well have the
official timelines changed.

1042
00:48:44,053 --> 00:48:45,722
- Please stop
asking your question.

1043
00:48:45,855 --> 00:48:47,290
- He got really angry,

1044
00:48:47,423 --> 00:48:49,059
and that lady was never
allowed in the room again.

1045
00:48:49,192 --> 00:48:50,827
- And then shortly after
they did change the timeline

1046
00:48:50,961 --> 00:48:54,164
that matched the independent
journalist's findings.

1047
00:48:56,366 --> 00:48:58,001
- Sometime late October,

1048
00:48:58,134 --> 00:48:59,870
I was here, and I noticed that
there's a camera right here,

1049
00:49:00,003 --> 00:49:01,671
mounted on the
outside of this business.

1050
00:49:01,805 --> 00:49:03,039
And I was wondering,

1051
00:49:03,173 --> 00:49:04,508
if that actually
caught any of the

1052
00:49:04,641 --> 00:49:06,143
footage from people
coming through here.

1053
00:49:06,276 --> 00:49:07,577
So I asked if I could
take a look at it,

1054
00:49:07,711 --> 00:49:09,212
and see if I could
access the information.

1055
00:49:09,345 --> 00:49:12,149
And next thing you know,
the video's on Fox news.

1056
00:49:12,282 --> 00:49:13,983
- Two men drag
would appears to be

1057
00:49:14,117 --> 00:49:16,653
a fallen victim
into the parking lot.

1058
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:24,093
The business owner
who possesses this tape,

1059
00:49:24,227 --> 00:49:25,962
or even asked to see it.

1060
00:49:26,095 --> 00:49:28,531
- You would think
that the LVMPD,

1061
00:49:28,664 --> 00:49:31,335
and the FBI would want
every piece of evidence,

1062
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:33,102
that they could possibly
get their hands on.

1063
00:49:33,236 --> 00:49:35,305
- We have hundreds of agents,

1064
00:49:35,438 --> 00:49:38,308
covering every facet
of this investigation.

1065
00:49:38,441 --> 00:49:40,309
Nothing will be overlooked.

1066
00:49:40,443 --> 00:49:43,213
Sheriff Lombardo promised
a comprehensive investigation

1067
00:49:43,347 --> 00:49:45,815
into leaked images of the
Stephen Paddock crime scene.

1068
00:49:45,948 --> 00:49:47,884
And we still haven't
received the results of this

1069
00:49:48,017 --> 00:49:49,419
comprehensive investigation.

1070
00:49:49,553 --> 00:49:52,189
So I decided to call into
a radio show in which,

1071
00:49:52,322 --> 00:49:55,292
Sheriff Lombardo was
answering questions.

1072
00:50:16,646 --> 00:50:19,983
- You have a department
with over a $600 million budget,

1073
00:50:20,116 --> 00:50:21,351
yet they couldn't figure out who

1074
00:50:21,484 --> 00:50:23,786
leaked images from a cell phone.

1075
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,255
Imagine that.

1076
00:50:25,388 --> 00:50:28,124
In my opinion, sheriff
Lombardo is lying.

1077
00:50:28,257 --> 00:50:31,227
And it's certainly
not the first lie,

1078
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,396
Or the first time he's
deceived the public.

1079
00:50:33,529 --> 00:50:35,398
- Is Las Vegas a safe community?

1080
00:50:35,532 --> 00:50:36,399
Yes.

1081
00:50:36,532 --> 00:50:38,467
Is it a safe tourist community?

1082
00:50:38,601 --> 00:50:39,603
Yes.

1083
00:50:45,074 --> 00:50:47,477
- During Sheriff Lombardo's
reelection campaign,

1084
00:50:47,610 --> 00:50:50,113
a violent crime rate
report was released,

1085
00:50:50,246 --> 00:50:51,814
which showed that
the violent crime rate

1086
00:50:51,948 --> 00:50:54,251
in Las Vegas had been reduced.

1087
00:50:54,384 --> 00:50:56,719
When in fact it didn't
take into account,

1088
00:50:56,853 --> 00:50:59,188
the 58 that we lost
during 1 October.

1089
00:50:59,322 --> 00:51:00,723
And there was also
two other homicides

1090
00:51:00,857 --> 00:51:02,558
that it also didn't
take into account.

1091
00:51:02,692 --> 00:51:04,227
So you had 60
homicides that were

1092
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:05,761
not included in this report.

1093
00:51:05,895 --> 00:51:08,632
So the crime rate
actually was the highest,

1094
00:51:08,765 --> 00:51:10,800
in Las Vegas history.

1095
00:51:10,934 --> 00:51:14,771
If you include the 60 that
they so conveniently left out.

1096
00:51:14,904 --> 00:51:17,240
- My name's Doug
Poppa, former police officer,

1097
00:51:17,373 --> 00:51:19,042
Deputy Sheriff and
Criminal Investigator.

1098
00:51:19,176 --> 00:51:21,811
I spent about 20 years
in the casino industry,

1099
00:51:21,945 --> 00:51:23,279
as a director of security.

1100
00:51:23,413 --> 00:51:26,616
And I'm also a journalist.

1101
00:51:26,749 --> 00:51:29,452
SWAT officer Levi Hancock
got on the radio and said,

1102
00:51:29,586 --> 00:51:30,987
"We have an
accidental discharge."

1103
00:51:31,121 --> 00:51:33,290
But none of that
was released publicly.

1104
00:51:36,259 --> 00:51:38,528
Joe Lombardo didn't say anything
about the accidental discharge.

1105
00:51:38,661 --> 00:51:40,797
So I broke the story
about a month later,

1106
00:51:40,930 --> 00:51:42,198
in the Baltimore Post Examiner,

1107
00:51:42,331 --> 00:51:43,566
then they later
came out and said

1108
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:45,202
there was an
accidental discharge.

1109
00:51:45,335 --> 00:51:47,269
- It kind of exposed
the fact that he hadn't

1110
00:51:47,403 --> 00:51:49,439
been entirely truthful
with the public.

1111
00:51:49,573 --> 00:51:52,976
And that was when a lot of
people started asking questions,

1112
00:51:53,109 --> 00:51:56,145
about why we weren't
being given the whole truth.

1113
00:51:56,279 --> 00:51:58,881
Accidental
discharge, excuse me?

1114
00:51:59,015 --> 00:52:02,852
- Casinos tell him, you know, to
jump, and he asks how high?

1115
00:52:02,985 --> 00:52:04,488
- 'Cause he's a paid puppet.

1116
00:52:05,655 --> 00:52:06,689
He's a liar.

1117
00:52:06,823 --> 00:52:10,560
- There is no conspiracy
between the FBI,

1118
00:52:10,693 --> 00:52:13,729
between LVMPD, and the MGM.

1119
00:52:13,863 --> 00:52:18,701
Nobody is attempting
to hide anything.

1120
00:52:18,835 --> 00:52:20,503
Yeah, can't trust this.

1121
00:52:20,636 --> 00:52:24,440
- When you try to hide it, it
breeds conspiracy theories,

1122
00:52:24,574 --> 00:52:26,742
it breeds people
saying, why is he lying?

1123
00:52:26,876 --> 00:52:29,512
He's a liar, they're covering
this up, covering that up.

1124
00:52:29,646 --> 00:52:32,349
If there was a conspiracy,
it was conspiracy

1125
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:34,651
to cover up negligence
and incompetence.

1126
00:52:34,784 --> 00:52:36,319
Even one of the stories
even the title was,

1127
00:52:36,452 --> 00:52:38,855
is Joe Lombardo a liar,
incompetent, or both?

1128
00:52:38,988 --> 00:52:41,791
The word incompetence
has been brought forward,

1129
00:52:41,925 --> 00:52:49,699
and I am absolutely offended
with that characterization.

1130
00:52:49,832 --> 00:52:51,534
shut the public out
of the information,

1131
00:52:51,668 --> 00:52:53,903
and the story just
started to go away.

1132
00:52:54,036 --> 00:52:55,638
And then shortly after that,

1133
00:52:55,772 --> 00:52:57,540
you get the radio encryption
where the public's no longer

1134
00:52:57,673 --> 00:53:00,410
allowed to listen, to the
police scanners out here.

1135
00:53:00,543 --> 00:53:02,245
- On January 23rd,

1136
00:53:02,379 --> 00:53:04,914
the Las Vegas Metropolitan
Police Department,

1137
00:53:05,048 --> 00:53:08,451
blocked the public's
ability to listen,

1138
00:53:08,584 --> 00:53:11,054
to what's happening in the city.

1139
00:53:11,187 --> 00:53:13,456
- They were getting called
out on a daily basis for

1140
00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:16,059
the inconsistencies, and
they kept changing the stories.

1141
00:53:16,192 --> 00:53:19,161
And I think probably
all of that was based on,

1142
00:53:19,295 --> 00:53:21,163
the fact that people
could check up

1143
00:53:21,297 --> 00:53:22,465
by listening to the radio.

1144
00:53:22,598 --> 00:53:24,000
You can compare
it to the stories,

1145
00:53:24,133 --> 00:53:25,401
you could see for yourself that

1146
00:53:25,534 --> 00:53:27,370
they weren't telling the truth.

1147
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,242
Decrypt the police scanners.

1148
00:53:33,376 --> 00:53:35,512
Those are our public airwaves.

1149
00:53:35,645 --> 00:53:38,014
- Major news outlets
have filed lawsuits,

1150
00:53:38,147 --> 00:53:43,152
asking law enforcement
to turn over police records

1151
00:53:43,286 --> 00:53:45,021
This is according
to the LA Times,

1152
00:53:45,154 --> 00:53:47,390
which is one of the plaintiffs.

1153
00:53:47,524 --> 00:53:50,026
- Over a half a dozen
media outlets got together,

1154
00:53:50,159 --> 00:53:51,560
put a lawsuit
together to sue

1155
00:53:51,694 --> 00:53:53,496
the Las Vegas Metropolitan
Police Department,

1156
00:53:53,629 --> 00:53:55,664
over them refusing to
release these documents

1157
00:53:55,798 --> 00:53:57,400
that the court ordered
them to release.

1158
00:53:57,533 --> 00:53:59,369
- The Supreme Court
ruled that all information

1159
00:53:59,502 --> 00:54:01,404
was supposed to be
given out immediately.

1160
00:54:01,538 --> 00:54:03,639
So Sheriff Lombardo
decided to charge,

1161
00:54:03,773 --> 00:54:06,676
nearly half a million dollars
to get this information.

1162
00:54:06,809 --> 00:54:08,378
Another legal
manoeuvre on his part

1163
00:54:08,511 --> 00:54:09,879
to delay the release
of the information.

1164
00:54:10,013 --> 00:54:11,747
- A Las Vegas
judge has ruled that

1165
00:54:11,881 --> 00:54:15,318
Las Vegas Metro Police can
not charge the media high fees,

1166
00:54:15,451 --> 00:54:17,419
to get records on the
1 October shooting.

1167
00:54:17,553 --> 00:54:19,889
At the behest of
the court system,

1168
00:54:20,023 --> 00:54:23,693
we were mandated to provide
body worn camera footage,

1169
00:54:23,826 --> 00:54:25,561
and document footage as part of

1170
00:54:25,695 --> 00:54:27,397
a public information request.

1171
00:54:27,530 --> 00:54:29,399
- The Las Vegas
Metropolitan Police Department

1172
00:54:29,532 --> 00:54:32,836
started releasing data,
but only bits at a time.

1173
00:54:32,969 --> 00:54:35,371
Sheriff Lombardo cherry
picked which information

1174
00:54:35,504 --> 00:54:37,473
he wanted to have come
out before the election,

1175
00:54:37,606 --> 00:54:38,608
and which information was going

1176
00:54:38,741 --> 00:54:41,377
to come out after the election.

1177
00:54:41,510 --> 00:54:43,846
- And there's not the
new sheriff in town.

1178
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:46,282
- I'm going to declare victory
at this point, all right?

1179
00:54:46,416 --> 00:54:49,352
Joe Lombardo was
reelected as Las Vegas

1180
00:54:49,485 --> 00:54:53,990
Metro PD's sheriff
in June of 2018.

1181
00:54:54,123 --> 00:54:55,491
It wasn't until after that,

1182
00:54:55,624 --> 00:54:58,595
that he chose to release
videos of his officers

1183
00:54:58,728 --> 00:55:01,964
cowering in the hallway outside
of Steven Paddock's room

1184
00:55:02,098 --> 00:55:05,968
instead of immediately entering
to stop the possible threat,

1185
00:55:06,102 --> 00:55:09,505
of more people being shot
out of that hotel room window.

1186
00:55:09,638 --> 00:55:11,875
Newly released video
shows Las Vegas police

1187
00:55:12,008 --> 00:55:16,378
waiting in the hallway at
the Mandalay Bay hotel,

1188
00:55:16,512 --> 00:55:18,948
continues to murder
people below.

1189
00:55:20,516 --> 00:55:22,285
- Holy fuck.
- He shot his gun.

1190
00:55:22,418 --> 00:55:24,320
Oh my God.

1191
00:55:24,453 --> 00:55:25,721
He got shot through the leg

1192
00:55:25,855 --> 00:55:27,323
- People were getting killed,

1193
00:55:27,457 --> 00:55:30,059
and this coward
stayed on the 31st floor,

1194
00:55:30,193 --> 00:55:35,364
and not one attempt was
made to reach the 32nd floor.

1195
00:55:35,498 --> 00:55:38,301
- Lives could have been saved
if they had taken action.

1196
00:55:38,434 --> 00:55:39,902
Absolutely.

1197
00:55:40,035 --> 00:55:42,572
They had a team of armed
individuals that did nothing

1198
00:55:42,705 --> 00:55:45,508
but cower while the
shots were going on.

1199
00:55:45,641 --> 00:55:49,311
- 58 people died that
night and the coward cop

1200
00:55:49,445 --> 00:55:51,047
who could have done something,

1201
00:55:51,180 --> 00:55:55,151
they fire him, but they
don't tell anybody about it.

1202
00:55:55,284 --> 00:55:56,285
I found out about it,

1203
00:55:56,419 --> 00:55:57,987
and I did the story on it.

1204
00:55:58,121 --> 00:56:00,690
There were about 30 police
officers with shotguns and ARS,

1205
00:56:00,823 --> 00:56:02,659
and all kinds of
handguns, and they sit,

1206
00:56:02,792 --> 00:56:04,794
for over an hour
on the 32nd floor.

1207
00:56:04,928 --> 00:56:07,030
- SWAT entered the room 11:20.

1208
00:56:08,331 --> 00:56:09,499
- One of the SWAT officers

1209
00:56:09,632 --> 00:56:11,233
discharged his
weapon in the room.

1210
00:56:11,367 --> 00:56:13,002
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1211
00:56:16,105 --> 00:56:17,540
They went into the room,

1212
00:56:17,673 --> 00:56:20,276
and they completely
destroyed the crime scene,

1213
00:56:20,409 --> 00:56:21,611
which is something you don't do.

1214
00:56:21,745 --> 00:56:23,613
But they turned
over Paddock's body,

1215
00:56:23,746 --> 00:56:25,214
they ransack the room.

1216
00:56:25,347 --> 00:56:27,716
That goes against any
standard police protocol,

1217
00:56:27,850 --> 00:56:29,085
anywhere in this country.

1218
00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:30,386
- They handled the crime scene

1219
00:56:30,519 --> 00:56:32,622
like a bunch of
incompetent boobs.

1220
00:56:32,755 --> 00:56:34,590
Because they compromised
the biggest crime scene

1221
00:56:34,724 --> 00:56:36,425
in American
history at that point.

1222
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:38,427
- Lombardo never
brought this out,

1223
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:39,962
until I broke the story,

1224
00:56:40,096 --> 00:56:41,964
and was followed up by
some news media after.

1225
00:56:42,097 --> 00:56:45,301
- He would not have won
the election, in my opinion,

1226
00:56:45,435 --> 00:56:48,938
had this information
been released,

1227
00:56:49,071 --> 00:56:51,441
in the time frame it should
have been released.

1228
00:56:53,376 --> 00:56:56,412
- In the footage that the
LVMPD was forced to release,

1229
00:56:56,545 --> 00:56:58,414
you have these body cam videos,

1230
00:56:58,547 --> 00:57:00,783
where you hear
officers directly saying,

1231
00:57:00,917 --> 00:57:03,920
turn your cameras off, make
sure your cameras are off.

1232
00:57:09,358 --> 00:57:12,061
- Why do you not want what's
about to happen to be on video?

1233
00:57:14,897 --> 00:57:18,133
It's one of the
many crazy things

1234
00:57:18,267 --> 00:57:21,337
I think there's something
more to this shooting,

1235
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:24,073
than what's been disclosed.

1236
00:57:24,206 --> 00:57:27,076
You've got police officers
that say that they heard

1237
00:57:27,210 --> 00:57:29,011
gunshots from
different locations.

1238
00:57:29,144 --> 00:57:31,013
- I'm telling you right now
there's more than one shooter.

1239
00:57:31,147 --> 00:57:33,382
Dude, we saw multiple muzzle
flashes coming out that window.

1240
00:57:33,516 --> 00:57:35,084
- Are you sure it
wasn't just one?

1241
00:57:35,217 --> 00:57:37,220
- No, because it was
two distinctive sounds.

1242
00:57:40,122 --> 00:57:42,758
- Hey, somebody said there
could be as many as three.

1243
00:57:42,892 --> 00:57:44,761
(gunfire, screaming)

1244
00:57:46,228 --> 00:57:49,365
- We're getting about
10 shots per second,

1245
00:57:49,499 --> 00:57:51,434
during that interval,
which would be

1246
00:57:51,568 --> 00:57:54,671
about twice as fast
as my observation

1247
00:57:54,804 --> 00:57:57,740
of what an individual
could pull a trigger manually.

1248
00:57:57,873 --> 00:57:59,441
So this would be consistent with

1249
00:57:59,575 --> 00:58:01,544
a gun that has the bump stock.

1250
00:58:01,677 --> 00:58:04,180
The gunshots themselves are all

1251
00:58:04,313 --> 00:58:06,616
very similar in their amplitude.

1252
00:58:06,749 --> 00:58:08,985
There seemed to be these
volleys of many, many shots,

1253
00:58:09,118 --> 00:58:10,853
and then a gap of
some number of seconds

1254
00:58:10,987 --> 00:58:13,322
before the shooting
starts again.

1255
00:58:13,455 --> 00:58:14,657
(gunshots, shouting, sirens)

1256
00:58:16,925 --> 00:58:19,496
- There's gun shots right here.

1257
00:58:22,999 --> 00:58:27,169
- Stephen Paddock
fired 13, 14 volleys.

1258
00:58:27,302 --> 00:58:30,239
(cops chattering)

1259
00:58:30,372 --> 00:58:33,542
- Why would there be
instances during the volleys

1260
00:58:33,676 --> 00:58:35,311
where it would stop shooting?

1261
00:58:35,445 --> 00:58:36,879
If you have multiple shooters,

1262
00:58:37,012 --> 00:58:38,982
there's no reason
to stop shooting.

1263
00:58:41,217 --> 00:58:43,552
- They would be
firing simultaneously,

1264
00:58:43,686 --> 00:58:46,288
and there would be
overlapping volleys

1265
00:58:46,422 --> 00:58:47,756
of these different shots.

1266
00:58:47,890 --> 00:58:49,259
And so we would
expect the recordings

1267
00:58:49,392 --> 00:58:52,161
would have a barrage
of overlapping gunfire,

1268
00:58:52,295 --> 00:58:56,265
rather than these
distinct individual shots.

1269
00:58:56,399 --> 00:58:59,736
The fact that we've got
the architectural features of

1270
00:58:59,869 --> 00:59:02,672
Las Vegas with the
different buildings nearby.

1271
00:59:02,805 --> 00:59:05,374
Lots of concrete and
sidewalks and so forth,

1272
00:59:05,508 --> 00:59:08,877
that tends to lead to a lot
of acoustical reflections.

1273
00:59:09,011 --> 00:59:10,612
And so the recording of a gun,

1274
00:59:10,746 --> 00:59:12,081
fired in that
environment is going to

1275
00:59:12,214 --> 00:59:14,784
have lots of this
reverberation present.

1276
00:59:16,352 --> 00:59:17,286
(gunfire)

1277
00:59:17,419 --> 00:59:18,721
(screaming)

1278
00:59:18,855 --> 00:59:20,656
It's like a sound wave
going across the venue,

1279
00:59:20,789 --> 00:59:22,625
and then bouncing
off of a building.

1280
00:59:22,758 --> 00:59:23,927
(gunfire)

1281
00:59:25,227 --> 00:59:27,330
So it sounds like it's
coming from two directions.

1282
00:59:32,034 --> 00:59:34,537
- That can sound like
there's many more shooters,

1283
00:59:34,671 --> 00:59:37,006
just because you're
hearing one sound,

1284
00:59:37,139 --> 00:59:41,243
echoed several times from
these different surfaces.

1285
00:59:41,377 --> 00:59:43,279
- I gotta go, there's
more people.

1286
00:59:43,412 --> 00:59:45,013
- Go, go, go, go, go.

1287
00:59:45,147 --> 00:59:46,882
- People were saying there
were shootings down the strip.

1288
00:59:47,016 --> 00:59:50,219
What was really happening,
was someone was in a hotel,

1289
00:59:50,353 --> 00:59:52,755
and some person ran in
with blood all over them,

1290
00:59:52,889 --> 00:59:54,757
and someone asked
him, what happened?

1291
00:59:54,891 --> 00:59:57,126
And they said there
was a shooting.

1292
00:59:57,259 --> 00:59:58,794
Next thing you know,
they're calling 911,

1293
00:59:58,927 --> 01:00:00,863
there's a shooting at
New York, New York.

1294
01:00:04,166 --> 01:00:05,802
- And there's a
shooting at Bellagio.

1295
01:00:07,703 --> 01:00:09,272
- There's a shooting
at Tropicana.

1296
01:00:11,140 --> 01:00:13,242
- All because these people are
interpreting what they're seeing

1297
01:00:13,375 --> 01:00:15,345
as a shooting happening right
then and there in front of them.

1298
01:00:15,478 --> 01:00:17,013
When it's just a person
running in the door,

1299
01:00:17,146 --> 01:00:19,182
that's bloodied from
running from this event.

1300
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,291
- The officers don't
know what's happening.

1301
01:00:31,193 --> 01:00:32,928
- They're trying to
investigate and find out

1302
01:00:33,062 --> 01:00:35,732
what's going on, and if somebody
runs up to them and says,

1303
01:00:35,865 --> 01:00:37,900
hey, you know, there's a
shooting at the Tropicana,

1304
01:00:38,033 --> 01:00:40,469
or there's something going
on at New York, New York,

1305
01:00:40,602 --> 01:00:43,939
they're not in a position to
judge how valid that claim is.

1306
01:00:44,072 --> 01:00:46,876
They're going to have
to now report that back.

1307
01:00:53,015 --> 01:00:55,684
- I've gone through the
recordings and observed

1308
01:00:55,818 --> 01:00:57,720
the characteristics
of the wave forms,

1309
01:00:57,853 --> 01:00:59,455
and from the examples
I've looked at here,

1310
01:00:59,588 --> 01:01:04,861
there is a single shooter
involved in this incident.

1311
01:01:04,994 --> 01:01:08,431
I have uncut footage
from 7:00 am that morning

1312
01:01:08,564 --> 01:01:10,733
until 12:00 pm the next day,

1313
01:01:10,867 --> 01:01:12,467
from six different
camera angles.

1314
01:01:12,601 --> 01:01:14,970
The attorneys asked me to
analyse this footage for them.

1315
01:01:15,104 --> 01:01:17,372
I can zoom in on any of
these camera views that I want

1316
01:01:17,506 --> 01:01:19,642
plus combine that with
all the audio footage

1317
01:01:19,776 --> 01:01:23,813
that I've gotten off of all
of the cell phone cameras

1318
01:01:23,946 --> 01:01:26,683
The shooting happened
from one location

1319
01:01:26,816 --> 01:01:30,319
right there, from
that room right there.

1320
01:01:32,388 --> 01:01:35,857
I'm 99% sure, that
Steve did this by himself,

1321
01:01:35,991 --> 01:01:39,762
completely and totally.

1322
01:01:39,895 --> 01:01:40,929
Accumulating the guns,

1323
01:01:41,063 --> 01:01:42,297
getting the guns in the hotel.

1324
01:01:42,431 --> 01:01:45,367
He tipped some
kid a hundred bucks,

1325
01:01:45,501 --> 01:01:48,871
and he took 'em up
on a little gold trolley.

1326
01:01:49,004 --> 01:01:50,472
- When you fire a weapon,
what you're doing is

1327
01:01:50,605 --> 01:01:53,609
you're causing a minor
explosion inside of a barrel.

1328
01:01:53,743 --> 01:01:58,414
So, that minor explosion
inside the barrel creates

1329
01:01:58,547 --> 01:02:01,016
transferred out into the barrel.

1330
01:02:01,150 --> 01:02:03,686
Then you can see that the
curtain just because of the

1331
01:02:03,820 --> 01:02:06,122
ejected casings or
possibly him leaning

1332
01:02:06,255 --> 01:02:08,157
the rifle against it
actually was burned.

1333
01:02:08,291 --> 01:02:09,825
That's what's going to happen,

1334
01:02:09,958 --> 01:02:11,327
when you put that many
rounds through a barrel.

1335
01:02:11,460 --> 01:02:13,062
A hundred rounds
through a barrel is gonna

1336
01:02:13,195 --> 01:02:14,430
heat it up enough to
where you can't touch it.

1337
01:02:14,563 --> 01:02:15,564
That's why he's wearing gloves.

1338
01:02:15,698 --> 01:02:17,500
(tense music)

1339
01:02:17,633 --> 01:02:19,101
So the most efficient
way to handle it,

1340
01:02:19,234 --> 01:02:20,969
instead of changing out barrels,

1341
01:02:21,103 --> 01:02:22,571
is to change out weapons.

1342
01:02:22,704 --> 01:02:24,407
It's a lot more expensive,
but he had the money,

1343
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:28,043
he spent over $100,000
in weapons alone.

1344
01:02:28,177 --> 01:02:30,646
So Steven, when
he fired the weapons,

1345
01:02:30,780 --> 01:02:32,915
he would expend
all the ammunition,

1346
01:02:33,049 --> 01:02:34,750
drop the weapon
into a makeshift pit

1347
01:02:34,884 --> 01:02:36,352
that he had in the
middle of the room.

1348
01:02:36,485 --> 01:02:39,721
And then he would start
firing again with a new weapon.

1349
01:02:39,855 --> 01:02:42,625
(machine gun firing)

1350
01:02:42,758 --> 01:02:43,926
(metal clanking)

1351
01:02:44,059 --> 01:02:46,661
- This is AR10,
that Paddock used,

1352
01:02:46,795 --> 01:02:47,896
shooting at the fuel tank.

1353
01:02:48,030 --> 01:02:49,198
(machine gun firing)

1354
01:02:49,331 --> 01:02:50,932
Fuel tanks are
made to take abuse.

1355
01:02:51,066 --> 01:02:52,067
(machine gun firing)

1356
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:53,536
We're shooting at 50 yards here,

1357
01:02:53,669 --> 01:02:55,504
and you can't put
a dent in that steel.

1358
01:02:55,637 --> 01:02:57,806
So imagine a thousand yards,

1359
01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,941
trying to penetrate
a piece of steel.

1360
01:03:00,075 --> 01:03:02,078
This is gonna be the AR15.

1361
01:03:02,211 --> 01:03:03,712
All right, this is
gonna be the one that

1362
01:03:03,846 --> 01:03:05,314
he shot the people with.

1363
01:03:05,448 --> 01:03:09,051
(machine gun firing)

1364
01:03:09,185 --> 01:03:11,654
See how fast and
accurate you can be.

1365
01:03:11,787 --> 01:03:13,622
Really super easy to shoot.

1366
01:03:13,756 --> 01:03:15,624
Doesn't take much skill.

1367
01:03:15,757 --> 01:03:16,959
Having an outdoor open venue

1368
01:03:17,092 --> 01:03:18,828
with that many
people in one location,

1369
01:03:18,961 --> 01:03:20,162
fences all around it.

1370
01:03:20,296 --> 01:03:21,664
They're kind of
corralled in there.

1371
01:03:21,797 --> 01:03:23,232
Yeah, they're sitting ducks.

1372
01:03:23,365 --> 01:03:25,267
I mean, it was like
shooting fish in a barrel.

1373
01:03:25,401 --> 01:03:26,769
(tense music)

1374
01:03:26,902 --> 01:03:32,107
- The FBI put out a three
page comprehensive report,

1375
01:03:32,241 --> 01:03:33,709
I've had in custody

1376
01:03:33,842 --> 01:03:36,479
petty larceny reports that
were over three pages.

1377
01:03:36,612 --> 01:03:37,847
That was a misdemeanor offense,

1378
01:03:37,980 --> 01:03:39,916
with one person being arrested.

1379
01:03:40,049 --> 01:03:45,120
I can't tell you,
the absurdity of that

1380
01:03:45,254 --> 01:03:48,191
from, if you look at when
Parkland had their shooting

1381
01:03:48,324 --> 01:03:50,125
at the Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School,

1382
01:03:50,258 --> 01:03:51,627
where 17 kids were murdered.

1383
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,530
They put out a 400 page
comprehensive report.

1384
01:03:54,663 --> 01:03:56,766
And they studied every
aspect of that thing

1385
01:03:56,899 --> 01:03:58,167
to prevent it from
happening again,

1386
01:03:58,300 --> 01:04:00,336
to find out what
things were missed.

1387
01:04:00,469 --> 01:04:02,538
- These are the things
you could slam on the desk.

1388
01:04:02,671 --> 01:04:03,972
You know what I mean?

1389
01:04:04,106 --> 01:04:05,274
It caused an earthquake.

1390
01:04:05,407 --> 01:04:07,076
But this is just
a little pamphlet,

1391
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:08,610
you know, just
a hey, this is it,

1392
01:04:08,744 --> 01:04:10,112
we're done, goodbye, go away.

1393
01:04:10,245 --> 01:04:12,915
- If they don't do a
proper investigation,

1394
01:04:13,048 --> 01:04:14,249
then it could happen again.

1395
01:04:14,383 --> 01:04:17,619
And that's what
makes people less safe.

1396
01:04:17,752 --> 01:04:20,822
- When Sheriff Lombardo
holds his final news conference,

1397
01:04:20,956 --> 01:04:24,360
there are less than a handful
of reporters who show up.

1398
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,329
Small crowd today.

1399
01:04:27,463 --> 01:04:30,466
- The Vegas shooting went
from being the biggest casualty

1400
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,737
event of the year to being a
small news conference set,

1401
01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:37,506
that even the local
journalists didn't show up for.

1402
01:04:37,639 --> 01:04:40,009
- Today, we will release
our final criminal investigative

1403
01:04:40,142 --> 01:04:44,647
report on the 1 October
mass casualty shooting.

1404
01:04:44,780 --> 01:04:49,151
I know and believe there
was only one suspect,

1405
01:04:49,284 --> 01:04:53,188
who killed 58 people and
injured hundreds more.

1406
01:04:53,321 --> 01:04:56,058
We have considered as
investigation complete.

1407
01:04:56,191 --> 01:04:58,261
I hope that the conclusion
of this investigation

1408
01:04:58,394 --> 01:05:01,430
provides some answers
and some closure.

1409
01:05:01,563 --> 01:05:03,699
What we have been able
to answer are the questions of

1410
01:05:03,832 --> 01:05:06,601
who, what, when, where, and how.

1411
01:05:06,735 --> 01:05:09,605
What we have not been
able to definitively answer

1412
01:05:09,738 --> 01:05:12,941
is the why Stephen
Paddock committed this act.

1413
01:05:13,075 --> 01:05:14,243
(tense music)

1414
01:05:14,376 --> 01:05:18,848
- They have to say no motive

1415
01:05:18,981 --> 01:05:22,818
(laughs) Hey, you
know, and because

1416
01:05:22,952 --> 01:05:25,554
that's not really good
for business, I don't think.

1417
01:05:33,228 --> 01:05:35,731
And now it's part
of this spin machine.

1418
01:05:35,865 --> 01:05:38,434
(tense music)

1419
01:05:39,768 --> 01:05:42,971
- The actual cover up
was their incompetence

1420
01:05:43,105 --> 01:05:44,707
and their negligence
in the handling

1421
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,475
of the investigation.

1422
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:50,078
The destruction of the crime
scene, turning over his body,

1423
01:05:50,212 --> 01:05:51,413
ransacking the room before

1424
01:05:51,547 --> 01:05:53,349
the crime scene
analysts went in there.

1425
01:05:53,482 --> 01:05:55,151
- Then you have the accidental
discharge in Paddock's room.

1426
01:05:55,284 --> 01:05:57,119
Then they tried
to cover that up.

1427
01:05:57,253 --> 01:05:58,887
The fact that it
took over 70 minutes

1428
01:05:59,020 --> 01:06:00,589
to get into Paddock's room.

1429
01:06:00,723 --> 01:06:03,058
And that the officer that
could've stopped it all,

1430
01:06:03,192 --> 01:06:05,261
basically chickened out.

1431
01:06:05,394 --> 01:06:08,797
There's nothing justifiable
about what he did.

1432
01:06:08,931 --> 01:06:10,232
Stephen Paddock was a monster.

1433
01:06:10,366 --> 01:06:11,734
But what do you call a company

1434
01:06:11,867 --> 01:06:13,669
that sues the victims
in a case like this,

1435
01:06:13,802 --> 01:06:15,270
where 58 people died.

1436
01:06:15,404 --> 01:06:17,773
- MGM resorts is
suing the victims

1437
01:06:17,906 --> 01:06:20,076
of last year's mass
shooting in Las Vegas,

1438
01:06:20,209 --> 01:06:22,311
claiming that it
has no liability

1439
01:06:22,444 --> 01:06:23,746
for the deadly attack.

1440
01:06:23,879 --> 01:06:25,680
MGM is asking a judge to dismiss

1441
01:06:25,814 --> 01:06:27,149
any lawsuits against it,

1442
01:06:27,282 --> 01:06:28,984
stemming from the
October 1st shooting.

1443
01:06:29,117 --> 01:06:31,153
I was just, you
know, I was like,

1444
01:06:31,286 --> 01:06:34,589
why the fuck would
they sue the victims,

1445
01:06:34,723 --> 01:06:37,092
that were just there during
a concert in their property?

1446
01:06:37,226 --> 01:06:39,995
They were getting shot
at from a hotel room,

1447
01:06:40,128 --> 01:06:41,730
that's a part of their property.

1448
01:06:41,864 --> 01:06:45,734
- Now they are being sued by
one of the largest companies

1449
01:06:45,867 --> 01:06:48,537
in America for getting shot.

1450
01:06:48,671 --> 01:06:51,339
- Shameful,
disgusting, outrageous.

1451
01:06:51,473 --> 01:06:53,141
Those are some of
the common words

1452
01:06:53,275 --> 01:06:56,978
people used along
with a #boycottMGM,

1453
01:06:57,112 --> 01:07:00,082
as it was trending on Twitter.

1454
01:07:00,215 --> 01:07:01,750
- In more than 30
years of practise,

1455
01:07:01,883 --> 01:07:05,454
this is the most reprehensible
conduct I've ever seen

1456
01:07:05,587 --> 01:07:07,122
by a defendant.

1457
01:07:07,256 --> 01:07:09,258
- MGM says in part quote,

1458
01:07:09,391 --> 01:07:14,630
"Years of drawn out
litigation and hearings

1459
01:07:14,763 --> 01:07:17,465
the community, and
those still healing."

1460
01:07:17,599 --> 01:07:20,802
- That is the biggest,
fattest lie I've ever heard.

1461
01:07:20,936 --> 01:07:25,674
- If you make the public
think that you're suing people

1462
01:07:25,807 --> 01:07:30,446
or their families who are
dead or seriously injured,

1463
01:07:30,579 --> 01:07:32,982
to me, that's a PR disaster.

1464
01:07:33,115 --> 01:07:40,389
- As an attorney,
I tried to look

1465
01:07:40,522 --> 01:07:43,591
than maybe a lot of victims do.

1466
01:07:43,725 --> 01:07:45,827
The MGM legal
strategy heavily relied

1467
01:07:45,961 --> 01:07:49,798
upon a Federal Act that
was passed shortly after 9/11.

1468
01:07:49,931 --> 01:07:51,933
It's called the Safety Act.

1469
01:07:52,067 --> 01:07:55,637
And the Safety Act states that

1470
01:07:55,771 --> 01:07:58,440
that private
company is not liable

1471
01:07:58,574 --> 01:08:01,610
for what happened
at the terrorist attack,

1472
01:08:01,743 --> 01:08:04,646
as long as they have
hired a security team

1473
01:08:04,780 --> 01:08:06,282
that has been
previously approved

1474
01:08:06,415 --> 01:08:08,183
by the Department
of Homeland Security.

1475
01:08:08,316 --> 01:08:10,919
Many people have
filed suit against MGM.

1476
01:08:11,053 --> 01:08:14,523
Instead of having to fight each
of these lawsuits individually,

1477
01:08:14,656 --> 01:08:17,259
MGM decided to file one lawsuit

1478
01:08:17,392 --> 01:08:19,662
against all the people
that had sued MGM

1479
01:08:19,795 --> 01:08:23,232
and all the people that
MGM thought would sue MGM

1480
01:08:23,365 --> 01:08:30,305
and make a statement
that they were not liable.

1481
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:31,774
who were at fault here.

1482
01:08:31,907 --> 01:08:34,209
They not only named
the estate of people

1483
01:08:34,343 --> 01:08:36,879
who were killed that
night and victims,

1484
01:08:37,012 --> 01:08:39,247
but they also named the children

1485
01:08:39,381 --> 01:08:41,116
of people who
were killed that night.

1486
01:08:41,250 --> 01:08:43,886
Some as young as age six.

1487
01:08:44,019 --> 01:08:47,189
So, they sued six year olds,

1488
01:08:47,322 --> 01:08:49,658
in an effort to
clear their name.

1489
01:08:49,792 --> 01:08:52,561
(somber music)

1490
01:08:52,694 --> 01:08:57,433
The brief literally stated
that, we the victims

1491
01:08:57,566 --> 01:08:59,701
who were affected by this
who were injured by this,

1492
01:08:59,835 --> 01:09:04,639
who were killed by this,
remained in the line of fire.

1493
01:09:04,773 --> 01:09:06,575
(somber music)

1494
01:09:06,708 --> 01:09:08,878
We were inside MGM's venue.

1495
01:09:09,011 --> 01:09:11,980
The venue that didn't
have enough exits.

1496
01:09:12,113 --> 01:09:13,649
The venue where bottlenecks

1497
01:09:13,782 --> 01:09:15,884
at those few exits
were occurring.

1498
01:09:16,018 --> 01:09:19,988
The venue in which they
have shone a spotlight on us,

1499
01:09:20,122 --> 01:09:22,557
so that he had a better view.

1500
01:09:22,691 --> 01:09:26,828
The venue where I
watched a woman die

1501
01:09:26,962 --> 01:09:32,367
long before she knew that
there even was a line of fire.

1502
01:09:32,501 --> 01:09:35,437
She didn't even know that
a shooting was going on.

1503
01:09:35,570 --> 01:09:40,275
And now her parents are
told, "Oh, your daughter's dead.

1504
01:09:40,408 --> 01:09:42,143
Well, it was her own fault.

1505
01:09:42,277 --> 01:09:44,346
She remained
in the line of fire."

1506
01:09:46,882 --> 01:09:49,984
MGM and Mandalay Bay
claimed that they didn't know

1507
01:09:50,118 --> 01:09:51,586
that this could happen.

1508
01:09:51,720 --> 01:10:01,296
Yet years prior, Mandalay
Bay had discovered

1509
01:10:01,430 --> 01:10:03,699
A guest had brought many guns.

1510
01:10:03,832 --> 01:10:06,034
He was aiming those
guns down the strip.

1511
01:10:06,168 --> 01:10:08,503
Thankfully he was stopped.

1512
01:10:08,637 --> 01:10:10,372
And the fact
that in their brief,

1513
01:10:10,505 --> 01:10:13,642
they say they had no way
of knowing, is a pure lie.

1514
01:10:13,775 --> 01:10:15,844
Just goes to show
how much disregard

1515
01:10:15,977 --> 01:10:19,381
they have for the victims of
what happened on October 1st.

1516
01:10:19,515 --> 01:10:23,452
(somber music)

1517
01:10:23,585 --> 01:10:26,922
- On October 1st of 2018,
the one year anniversary,

1518
01:10:27,055 --> 01:10:30,992
MGM had said that they were
going to darken the marquees.

1519
01:10:31,126 --> 01:10:33,394
You could come out and
have a candle if you want

1520
01:10:33,528 --> 01:10:35,230
and memorialise
the fallen, you know.

1521
01:10:35,364 --> 01:10:36,932
It was a one year anniversary.

1522
01:10:37,065 --> 01:10:39,734
So, I'm out there and
I'm live on Facebook

1523
01:10:39,868 --> 01:10:41,436
and from the Mandalay
Bay and we're waiting

1524
01:10:41,570 --> 01:10:42,905
and waiting and waiting.

1525
01:10:43,038 --> 01:10:44,539
There's all these
other people around me

1526
01:10:44,672 --> 01:10:47,843
and they didn't do anything.

1527
01:10:47,976 --> 01:10:51,980
Layering on the music,
was this real upbeat song,

1528
01:10:52,114 --> 01:10:54,483
happy and you know,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

1529
01:10:54,616 --> 01:10:55,984
I was like, "God,
what kind of slap

1530
01:10:56,117 --> 01:10:57,453
"in the face is this?"

1531
01:10:57,586 --> 01:10:58,987
- [Reporter] Day's
after the city marked

1532
01:10:59,121 --> 01:11:00,622
the somber second anniversary

1533
01:11:00,755 --> 01:11:02,958
of the Route 91
Festival shooting,

1534
01:11:03,091 --> 01:11:05,994
there's a settlement between
victims and MGM resorts.

1535
01:11:06,127 --> 01:11:07,696
- They were trying to hide
behind the Safety Act.

1536
01:11:07,829 --> 01:11:09,965
An Act in which the
Federal Government,

1537
01:11:10,098 --> 01:11:12,500
would have actually paid
out all of these claims.

1538
01:11:12,634 --> 01:11:15,003
And because it wasn't
ruled a terrorist act by the FBI

1539
01:11:15,137 --> 01:11:18,407
or Homeland Security, they
couldn't use the Safety Act.

1540
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:22,377
This settlement will
provide fair compensation

1541
01:11:22,510 --> 01:11:25,614
for thousands of
victims and their family.

1542
01:11:25,747 --> 01:11:28,082
- [Reporter] Las Vegas lawyer,
Robert Eglet of Eglet Adams

1543
01:11:28,216 --> 01:11:32,821
represents about 2,500 of
the 4,400 victims in the case.

1544
01:11:32,954 --> 01:11:34,823
- The total settlement
amount is expected

1545
01:11:34,956 --> 01:11:39,594
to be approximately
$735 to $800 million.

1546
01:11:39,728 --> 01:11:42,030
Now as stated and this
needs to be made clear,

1547
01:11:42,163 --> 01:11:48,069
MGM Resorts has insurance
coverage for $751 million.

1548
01:11:48,202 --> 01:11:51,473
- MGM is only on the
hook for about $49 million.

1549
01:11:51,606 --> 01:11:53,041
That's a slap on the wrist.

1550
01:11:53,174 --> 01:11:56,745
- What MGM has done
here through this process

1551
01:11:56,879 --> 01:11:59,448
and through this
mediation represents

1552
01:11:59,581 --> 01:12:02,884
the highest standard
of corporate citizenship

1553
01:12:03,017 --> 01:12:04,285
I have ever seen.

1554
01:12:04,419 --> 01:12:06,955
Last year, I was
the loudest voice

1555
01:12:07,088 --> 01:12:09,757
in the country saying
negative things about MGM

1556
01:12:09,891 --> 01:12:12,828
when they sued a
number of the victims.

1557
01:12:12,961 --> 01:12:14,429
In more than 30
years of practise,

1558
01:12:14,563 --> 01:12:16,164
this is the most
reprehensible conduct

1559
01:12:16,297 --> 01:12:19,868
I have ever seen by a defendant.

1560
01:12:20,001 --> 01:12:23,171
- Robert Eglet, attorney
for over 2,500 claimants

1561
01:12:23,305 --> 01:12:27,609
in this case, stated that
the $800 million settlement

1562
01:12:27,742 --> 01:12:29,210
would be good for everyone.

1563
01:12:29,344 --> 01:12:31,347
But what he didn't say is that

1564
01:12:31,480 --> 01:12:34,116
he stands to get over a
hundred million dollars

1565
01:12:34,249 --> 01:12:37,085
in this case, making
him the true winner.

1566
01:12:37,218 --> 01:12:39,655
- And as a lifelong
Nevadan, I cannot tell you

1567
01:12:39,788 --> 01:12:44,392
how proud I am that
MGM is a Nevada company.

1568
01:12:44,526 --> 01:12:46,928
They have made me
the most loyal customer

1569
01:12:47,061 --> 01:12:48,530
they'll ever have.

1570
01:12:48,663 --> 01:12:51,066
- And now they're the
most wonderful corporation

1571
01:12:51,199 --> 01:12:52,400
he's ever seen.

1572
01:12:52,534 --> 01:12:54,402
And he went from
their largest critic

1573
01:12:54,536 --> 01:12:56,405
to becoming their
biggest ass kisser.

1574
01:12:56,538 --> 01:12:58,140
Is he their lawyer or ours?

1575
01:12:58,273 --> 01:13:01,610
Because he sure as
hell wasn't acting like it.

1576
01:13:01,743 --> 01:13:02,777
- Keeping this out of the courts

1577
01:13:02,911 --> 01:13:04,479
by settling with the victims,

1578
01:13:04,613 --> 01:13:07,615
allows MGM to hide
the fact that their greed

1579
01:13:07,749 --> 01:13:10,886
and incompetence may
be part of why this happened.

1580
01:13:11,019 --> 01:13:13,221
They were the ones
with the terrible security,

1581
01:13:13,355 --> 01:13:16,225
allowing him to take 20 plus
weapons up into the room.

1582
01:13:16,358 --> 01:13:20,161
Their inactions is what
caused a lot of the deaths

1583
01:13:20,295 --> 01:13:21,863
that we see in this case.

1584
01:13:21,997 --> 01:13:27,635
The failure on the security,
failure on surveillance...

1585
01:13:27,769 --> 01:13:31,573
The former MGM
director of surveillance

1586
01:13:31,706 --> 01:13:35,410
told me over 200 cameras
were off at the time

1587
01:13:35,544 --> 01:13:38,713
in the Mandalay Bay shooting.

1588
01:13:38,847 --> 01:13:40,815
October 1st, Mandalay Bay

1589
01:13:40,949 --> 01:13:44,186
had over 200
cameras not working.

1590
01:13:44,319 --> 01:13:45,820
- It's security negligence,

1591
01:13:45,954 --> 01:13:48,156
cameras were out,
they were untrained

1592
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:50,359
in some of the equipment
and the protocols

1593
01:13:50,492 --> 01:13:51,960
and how to do the
different systems.

1594
01:13:52,093 --> 01:13:54,128
And that came out in
their reports to the police.

1595
01:13:54,262 --> 01:13:55,830
And I did stories on that.

1596
01:13:55,964 --> 01:13:57,432
So, there was no way this
was gonna go to a courtroom.

1597
01:13:57,566 --> 01:13:58,834
That's why they
agreed to the settlement.

1598
01:13:58,967 --> 01:14:00,936
I think that there
was a clear intent

1599
01:14:01,069 --> 01:14:02,504
that this would
never go to trial.

1600
01:14:02,638 --> 01:14:04,272
And I had a problem with that

1601
01:14:04,405 --> 01:14:06,008
'cause from day one, I said,
"The truth needs to be told."

1602
01:14:06,141 --> 01:14:08,944
- If we did go to trial,
all of this would come out

1603
01:14:09,077 --> 01:14:12,881
and that's exactly
what they didn't want.

1604
01:14:13,015 --> 01:14:14,883
they chose Jennifer Togliatti.

1605
01:14:15,016 --> 01:14:17,686
This is a judge who
stepped down a year early

1606
01:14:17,819 --> 01:14:19,854
from her retirement
to actually go work

1607
01:14:19,988 --> 01:14:22,424
for a company called ARM.

1608
01:14:22,557 --> 01:14:23,958
And when she goes to work there,

1609
01:14:24,092 --> 01:14:26,661
what is their first case
that she's handed?

1610
01:14:26,794 --> 01:14:29,564
Oh, wow, look, it's an MGM case.

1611
01:14:29,697 --> 01:14:31,533
And who is her father?

1612
01:14:31,666 --> 01:14:34,635
MGM's Vice President,
Head of Security,

1613
01:14:34,769 --> 01:14:36,004
Safety and Surveillance.

1614
01:14:36,137 --> 01:14:38,573
None other than
George Togliatti.

1615
01:14:38,707 --> 01:14:40,007
There is a conflict
of interest there

1616
01:14:40,141 --> 01:14:48,150
because her dad
is the VP of Security.

1617
01:14:48,283 --> 01:14:50,752
instead of going that one
more year for retirement.

1618
01:14:50,886 --> 01:14:55,357
Judge Togliatti, I
believe, was brought in

1619
01:14:55,490 --> 01:14:59,094
to save MGM and
her father's ass.

1620
01:14:59,227 --> 01:15:02,664
How did they not say,
"We should not do this."

1621
01:15:02,797 --> 01:15:06,234
They didn't do it because
they wanted the fix in.

1622
01:15:06,367 --> 01:15:07,702
Period, the end.

1623
01:15:07,835 --> 01:15:10,438
The fix has always
been in in Vegas.

1624
01:15:10,572 --> 01:15:11,606
That's what they do.

1625
01:15:11,739 --> 01:15:12,841
It's ridiculous.

1626
01:15:12,974 --> 01:15:14,743
It can only happen in Vegas.

1627
01:15:14,876 --> 01:15:16,711
- Las Vegas is a big facade.

1628
01:15:16,845 --> 01:15:18,646
The whole city is an illusion.

1629
01:15:18,780 --> 01:15:20,248
And the person that's getting

1630
01:15:20,381 --> 01:15:21,916
in the way of the
illusion of selling this case

1631
01:15:22,050 --> 01:15:24,085
to the American
public, is Roger Kenis.

1632
01:15:24,219 --> 01:15:26,955
This is a claimant
who actually ran back in

1633
01:15:27,089 --> 01:15:29,424
and tried to save
the lives of others.

1634
01:15:29,557 --> 01:15:31,059
And this is a slap in his face.

1635
01:15:31,192 --> 01:15:32,927
And he pulled out
of the settlement.

1636
01:15:33,061 --> 01:15:35,897
He is the single person that
we know of that opted out.

1637
01:15:36,031 --> 01:15:38,566
We never even got the damn
truth and that's all I wanted.

1638
01:15:38,700 --> 01:15:40,201
That's why I opted out.

1639
01:15:40,335 --> 01:15:43,071
Because no amount of
money is gonna buy the truth.

1640
01:15:43,204 --> 01:15:44,840
And somebody had
to stand up to 'em.

1641
01:15:44,973 --> 01:15:46,308
People need to be
held accountable,

1642
01:15:46,441 --> 01:15:48,009
so this can never happen again.

1643
01:15:48,143 --> 01:15:52,814
- It's a twisted, twisted
tale of corruption in Vegas.

1644
01:15:52,947 --> 01:15:56,117
- It's an incestuous thing
that happens in Vegas.

1645
01:15:56,251 --> 01:15:59,387
They all protect each other
like brothers and sisters.

1646
01:15:59,521 --> 01:16:01,556
This case should have
been in the billions.

1647
01:16:01,689 --> 01:16:02,991
- You have a case
of someone trying

1648
01:16:03,125 --> 01:16:08,596
to put on the illusion
that everyone is happy.

1649
01:16:08,730 --> 01:16:11,133
were the lawyers
and MGM and that's it.

1650
01:16:11,266 --> 01:16:13,601
The take was $800
million and divided up

1651
01:16:13,735 --> 01:16:15,570
with around 4,500 people.

1652
01:16:15,703 --> 01:16:17,105
And it's not a lot of money.

1653
01:16:17,238 --> 01:16:19,140
Neither is the 49
million that MGM,

1654
01:16:19,274 --> 01:16:21,743
a corporation who grosses
over 10 billion a year

1655
01:16:21,877 --> 01:16:24,112
has to actually pay
out out of pocket.

1656
01:16:24,245 --> 01:16:26,181
So MGM won.

1657
01:16:26,314 --> 01:16:29,151
But the victims
in this case lost.

1658
01:16:29,284 --> 01:16:31,753
- I do love my town,
but I'm starting to see

1659
01:16:31,886 --> 01:16:33,754
the reality of things
since October 1st

1660
01:16:33,888 --> 01:16:35,790
on what Vegas really is.

1661
01:16:35,924 --> 01:16:37,258
(somber music)

1662
01:16:37,392 --> 01:16:38,894
- After you lived
there a little bit,

1663
01:16:39,027 --> 01:16:41,363
you start seeing the
dark side of Vegas,

1664
01:16:41,496 --> 01:16:42,997
the sinister side of Vegas,

1665
01:16:43,131 --> 01:16:45,967
and it has nothing to do
with cocaine and hookers.

1666
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:48,337
It has to do with all the greed.

1667
01:16:53,174 --> 01:16:55,677
- I had been at
the City Hall, parked,

1668
01:16:55,810 --> 01:16:58,346
and I saw a bunch of
what looked like sticks

1669
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,748
behind a screen of a fence.

1670
01:17:00,882 --> 01:17:02,350
So I went over there to look,

1671
01:17:02,483 --> 01:17:06,321
and it was the crosses from
the Las Vegas massacre.

1672
01:17:06,454 --> 01:17:09,657
There were thrown in
a giant pile in the sun,

1673
01:17:09,790 --> 01:17:10,992
behind a dumpster.

1674
01:17:11,125 --> 01:17:12,761
And that's where
they sit all year.

1675
01:17:12,894 --> 01:17:14,763
And then Greg
Zanis comes into town

1676
01:17:14,896 --> 01:17:18,567
and he displays them at
the Las Vegas welcome sign.

1677
01:17:18,700 --> 01:17:20,936
Today's the second
year anniversary

1678
01:17:21,069 --> 01:17:23,804
and I'm down here
letting these families know

1679
01:17:23,938 --> 01:17:25,407
that I remembered...

1680
01:17:25,540 --> 01:17:26,908
This year, what happened was

1681
01:17:27,041 --> 01:17:30,579
the County asked him
to move all the crosses

1682
01:17:30,712 --> 01:17:32,714
to be displayed
for only two hours

1683
01:17:32,847 --> 01:17:34,148
at the County Government Centre

1684
01:17:34,282 --> 01:17:35,950
where no one would
have ever seen them.

1685
01:17:36,084 --> 01:17:38,553
And they only wanted
them displayed for two hours.

1686
01:17:38,686 --> 01:17:39,988
- It's the right thing to do

1687
01:17:40,122 --> 01:17:42,190
to spend one full
day out of my life,

1688
01:17:42,324 --> 01:17:44,993
to remember what happened
to here two years ago.

1689
01:17:45,126 --> 01:17:46,694
- He didn't back down.

1690
01:17:46,828 --> 01:17:48,996
He decided that he
was going to display

1691
01:17:49,130 --> 01:17:50,765
the crosses on the astro turf.

1692
01:17:50,898 --> 01:17:52,533
And then the County came in

1693
01:17:52,667 --> 01:17:53,901
and said that they thought

1694
01:17:54,035 --> 01:17:55,737
it was a pedestrian
safety issue.

1695
01:17:55,870 --> 01:17:57,639
- And as you see, there
goes one of the crosses,

1696
01:17:57,772 --> 01:17:59,707
their families are taking them.

1697
01:17:59,841 --> 01:18:01,176
And that's why I'm here.

1698
01:18:01,309 --> 01:18:03,378
We're gonna try to give
all of these out today.

1699
01:18:05,079 --> 01:18:07,448
- And they want it to
go away and it shouldn't.

1700
01:18:07,581 --> 01:18:11,119
We should never let those
crosses be forgotten.

1701
01:18:11,253 --> 01:18:13,989
(somber music)

1702
01:18:14,122 --> 01:18:16,357
- [Ram] Nobody wanted the
1 October event to happen.

1703
01:18:16,491 --> 01:18:18,226
But when it did, I
think there's people

1704
01:18:18,359 --> 01:18:19,961
who found a way to
make it work for them.

1705
01:18:20,095 --> 01:18:22,430
To turn a tragedy
into an opportunity.

1706
01:18:22,564 --> 01:18:24,232
(somber music)

1707
01:18:24,365 --> 01:18:27,435
1 October was almost
like a show, a Vegas show.

1708
01:18:27,568 --> 01:18:29,904
And once the stars of that
show got what they wanted,

1709
01:18:30,037 --> 01:18:32,206
they didn't care anymore
and neither did Vegas.

1710
01:18:32,340 --> 01:18:33,875
Keep the money
dropping off the tables,

1711
01:18:34,008 --> 01:18:35,009
keep the slot machines going

1712
01:18:35,142 --> 01:18:36,644
and keep the registers ringing.

1713
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:39,013
- $50 billion worth of tourism

1714
01:18:39,147 --> 01:18:40,749
that comes into our community.

1715
01:18:40,882 --> 01:18:44,152
The hotels are full, the
occupancy rate is great,

1716
01:18:44,286 --> 01:18:47,923
the prices are reasonable,
nothing's better than Las Vegas.

1717
01:18:49,958 --> 01:18:52,527
- It is hot here, is
all I can tell you.

1718
01:18:52,661 --> 01:18:56,931
We just are trying to keep
having enough cranes out there.

1719
01:18:57,064 --> 01:18:59,767
Labourers, carpenters,
we're just booming.

1720
01:18:59,901 --> 01:19:01,303
- Steel on the Raider stadium

1721
01:19:01,436 --> 01:19:03,504
is like four months
behind on construction,

1722
01:19:03,638 --> 01:19:06,541
waiting for more steel
to be forged in China.

1723
01:19:06,674 --> 01:19:07,975
That's how crazy
it is, you know.

1724
01:19:08,109 --> 01:19:10,412
The world can't
produce steel fast enough

1725
01:19:10,545 --> 01:19:13,180
to get us our steel, to
build the new Vegas.

1726
01:19:13,314 --> 01:19:15,316
And they just keep building,
and everything looks like this.

1727
01:19:15,449 --> 01:19:19,420
This is what we see
everywhere we go every day.

1728
01:19:19,554 --> 01:19:21,823
- The gambling industry
is bouncing back.

1729
01:19:21,957 --> 01:19:24,659
So evidently
they're doing it right.

1730
01:19:24,792 --> 01:19:27,529
(peaceful music)

1731
01:19:29,197 --> 01:19:32,133
- Vegas took a hit, but it
bounced back pretty damn quick.

1732
01:19:32,266 --> 01:19:34,069
It's an endless supply of money.

1733
01:19:34,202 --> 01:19:38,039
People still are getting on
those planes coming to Vegas.

1734
01:19:38,173 --> 01:19:39,674
- 50 million passengers

1735
01:19:39,807 --> 01:19:41,842
travelled through Vegas in 2019,

1736
01:19:41,976 --> 01:19:43,744
the most in a year ever.

1737
01:19:43,878 --> 01:19:46,448
(tense music)

1738
01:19:48,550 --> 01:19:51,052
- March of 2020, the
pandemic happens.

1739
01:19:51,186 --> 01:19:53,087
Coronavirus shuts
down the entire country.

1740
01:19:53,221 --> 01:19:54,656
- Makeshift morgues

1741
01:19:54,789 --> 01:19:56,858
are being built to handle
the crush of bodies.

1742
01:19:56,991 --> 01:19:58,960
- [Reporter] The usually
packed Vegas strip,

1743
01:19:59,093 --> 01:20:00,394
now a ghost town.

1744
01:20:00,528 --> 01:20:02,063
- [Reporter] This,
after several employees

1745
01:20:02,196 --> 01:20:04,732
on the strip tested
positive for COVID-19.

1746
01:20:04,865 --> 01:20:06,968
- [Reporter] It has been more
than a month since Las Vegas

1747
01:20:07,101 --> 01:20:08,770
was shut down by the coronavirus

1748
01:20:08,903 --> 01:20:10,471
with the number
of confirmed cases

1749
01:20:10,605 --> 01:20:12,840
continuing to climb
though in Nevada.

1750
01:20:12,974 --> 01:20:14,609
- You've got over
a million people

1751
01:20:14,743 --> 01:20:17,078
who have been infected by
this virus in the United States.

1752
01:20:17,211 --> 01:20:18,513
The death toll in
the United States,

1753
01:20:18,647 --> 01:20:21,215
from coronavirus
now stands at 57,000.

1754
01:20:21,349 --> 01:20:22,717
- Today at the
president's briefing,

1755
01:20:22,850 --> 01:20:24,352
we were told again
that the number

1756
01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:27,055
of American deaths could
reach as high as 200,000.

1757
01:20:27,188 --> 01:20:28,656
- Las Vegas mayor,
Carolyn Goodman,

1758
01:20:28,789 --> 01:20:32,226
is calling the shutdown
of the state total insanity.

1759
01:20:32,359 --> 01:20:38,366
This shutdown has
become one of total insanity.

1760
01:20:38,499 --> 01:20:41,536
- She also compared
COVID 19 to the flu

1761
01:20:41,669 --> 01:20:42,871
and other viruses.

1762
01:20:43,004 --> 01:20:45,440
Who died and made somebody,

1763
01:20:45,573 --> 01:20:47,942
the consummate doctor?

1764
01:20:48,076 --> 01:20:49,110
Open the city.

1765
01:20:49,243 --> 01:20:51,579
- The most contagious contagion

1766
01:20:51,712 --> 01:20:53,247
that we've seen in decades.

1767
01:20:53,381 --> 01:20:55,350
And then you have a mayor
who doesn't care.

1768
01:20:55,483 --> 01:20:59,119
- 2.3 million people
in Southern Nevada.

1769
01:20:59,253 --> 01:21:01,756
And we've had 150 deaths.

1770
01:21:01,890 --> 01:21:05,459
- Isn't that because of social
distancing that you would have

1771
01:21:05,593 --> 01:21:06,928
had far more without it?

1772
01:21:07,061 --> 01:21:09,164
- How do you know until
we have a control group?

1773
01:21:09,297 --> 01:21:11,099
We offered to be
a control group.

1774
01:21:11,232 --> 01:21:13,301
So, here's Caroline
Goodman offering the lives

1775
01:21:13,434 --> 01:21:16,170
of the Vegas residents
to be the control group.

1776
01:21:16,303 --> 01:21:19,106
I offered to be a control group,

1777
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,710
and I was told by our
statistician, you can't do that.

1778
01:21:22,844 --> 01:21:25,646
And Anderson Cooper
was sitting there in disbelief

1779
01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:28,550
at the amount of crap that
was spilling from this woman.

1780
01:21:28,683 --> 01:21:31,953
- This is in China,
this is Las Vegas Nevada.

1781
01:21:32,086 --> 01:21:33,588
- Wow, okay, that's
really ignorant.

1782
01:21:33,722 --> 01:21:36,124
If you can't figure out
how to do this safely.

1783
01:21:36,257 --> 01:21:41,296
Why as mayor of a city
that you are responsible

1784
01:21:41,429 --> 01:21:42,897
for something that
you have no plan

1785
01:21:43,030 --> 01:21:45,200
for how it would be done safely?

1786
01:21:45,333 --> 01:21:48,003
They'd better figure
it out, that's their job.

1787
01:21:48,136 --> 01:21:51,206
That's not the mayor's job.
- Let me ask you,

1788
01:21:51,339 --> 01:21:52,841
any social distancing?

1789
01:21:52,974 --> 01:21:54,175
You don't believe
that this is a...

1790
01:21:54,309 --> 01:21:55,810
Of course, I believe
there should be.

1791
01:21:55,943 --> 01:21:57,145
Of course.

1792
01:21:57,279 --> 01:21:59,447
How do you do
that in a casino?

1793
01:21:59,581 --> 01:22:01,215
That's up to
them to figure out.

1794
01:22:01,348 --> 01:22:03,317
- [Man] You have people
dropping dead all over Las Vegas

1795
01:22:03,451 --> 01:22:05,553
and you have a mayor
who doesn't care.

1796
01:22:05,687 --> 01:22:08,523
All she cares about is cash,
cash, cash, money, money, money.

1797
01:22:08,657 --> 01:22:11,226
- We were not broken, and
we need to get back to work.

1798
01:22:11,359 --> 01:22:12,961
- [Man] Just keep
the registers ringing.

1799
01:22:13,094 --> 01:22:14,862
Keep the slot machines dinging.

1800
01:22:14,996 --> 01:22:16,163
Vegas is a money machine.

1801
01:22:16,297 --> 01:22:20,234
It's a huge cash register

1802
01:22:20,367 --> 01:22:22,270
about people's lives being lost.

1803
01:22:22,403 --> 01:22:24,105
It was evidenced by
what happened during

1804
01:22:24,238 --> 01:22:26,441
the mass shooting where
58 people lost their lives,

1805
01:22:26,574 --> 01:22:28,109
and it's evidenced by
what Carolyn Goodman

1806
01:22:28,242 --> 01:22:30,612
did on the CNN interview
with Anderson Cooper.

1807
01:22:33,481 --> 01:22:37,117
- [Woman] The deadliest
mass shooting in U.S. history

1808
01:22:37,251 --> 01:22:40,288
became one of
the most forgotten.

1809
01:22:41,456 --> 01:22:43,224
- Most of the American public

1810
01:22:43,358 --> 01:22:45,259
barely remembers
that it happened.

1811
01:22:45,392 --> 01:22:48,463
That just shows you the
power of money in Las Vegas.

1812
01:22:51,165 --> 01:22:53,167
- [Man] It's a town that
was built by the mob,

1813
01:22:53,301 --> 01:22:54,636
built on corruption,

1814
01:22:54,769 --> 01:22:56,070
and with corporations in charge,

1815
01:22:56,204 --> 01:22:59,107
it's just a different
kind of corrupt.

1816
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:00,708
- [Man] Vegas was
a different town.

1817
01:23:00,841 --> 01:23:02,710
I mean, don't get me wrong,
the mob were no angels,

1818
01:23:02,844 --> 01:23:04,145
these guys were savages.

1819
01:23:04,279 --> 01:23:06,313
But when the town
was less corporate,

1820
01:23:06,447 --> 01:23:08,716
it was a much better town.

1821
01:23:08,849 --> 01:23:10,184
- I think the challenge is now,

1822
01:23:10,318 --> 01:23:12,320
what it should be
and what it was.

1823
01:23:12,453 --> 01:23:14,956
- Greed is what's
ruining Las Vegas.

1824
01:23:15,089 --> 01:23:16,323
Where else does that happen,

1825
01:23:16,457 --> 01:23:18,025
where an entity
would sue the victims

1826
01:23:18,159 --> 01:23:19,794
because they dropped the ball?

1827
01:23:19,927 --> 01:23:21,061
Only in Las Vegas.

1828
01:23:21,195 --> 01:23:23,765
(tense music)

1829
01:23:27,802 --> 01:23:29,437
as far as I'm concerned.

1830
01:23:40,214 --> 01:23:43,418
(light tense music)
