"Nevada has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the U.S. In Nevada, open carry of

is legal without a permit, and the law doesn’t require gun owners to have licenses or register their weapons. There is also no limit to the number of firearms that an individual can possess. Certain automatic assault weapons and machine guns are legal as long as they are registered and possessed in adherence to the federal law. Local law enforcement issues concealed handgun licenses.

Given the current gun laws in Nevada, it’s questionable how much Mandalay Bay hotel staff could have done to prevent shooter Stephen Paddock from checking into his hotel room with his weapons.

Had hotel staff known about the firearms, they would have had little legal recourse to inform law enforcement and have them investigate Paddock. The shooter also had no prior criminal record.

State and federal laws prevent sharing of certain kinds of information related to gun ownership and possession."

this is not the hotel's fault or the fault of their security or their cleaners/chambermaids
