Getting that weaponry up to the 32nd floor when you have to walk through the casino floor to get to the elevators seems a difficult task.



I mean you can fit probably 5 rifles in an average size duffle bag

You could have everything up there in one trip and not be suspicious at all

If you have been to Vegas there are people coming and going up and down left and right bags no bags 24/7/365

Would never be able to tell

If you come in at peak check in time, nobody will even check your bags in most hotels in Vegas. You could even bring a couple at a time which is probably what this dude did.

18 weapons, most presumably long rifles, with 2000 rounds of ammo (total estimate) would be

@ about 7 lbs each is approx. 125 lbs of rifles

and 50+ lbs of ammo assuming all the weapons were light weight AR's shooting .223.


And that is without the added weight of extra magazines.

so 175 to 200 lbs of luggage





I suppose if it was spread out over 4 or more rolling suitcases it would not draw too much attention. But don't fool yourself, regardless of the volume of people coming and going, security is looking at each one of them either direct eyes on or with video surveillance.
