The more you know...

The Saudis always do seem involved don't they

I’ve stayed at the Four Seasons before - pretty sure it starts at the 35th floor and was not the floor the shooter was on. I don’t see where this is relevant.

Just speculating. Odd coincidence ?

Speculating: I could transit arms easier using private/express entrances

I could “escape” to higher floor and sit tight if I was aided/protected by those who could control access/surveillance (even if it was a compartmentalized portion of the hotel)

Four seasons starts on the 35th floor and up to the 39th

Understood

See reply above (upper floors would be the getaway)

Devils advocate: this make the “selection” of the 32nd floor even more symbolic to some
The shooting from the upper floors would be too on the nose

If this guy was such a high roller, why was he not in the Four Seasons ? (he was not cowboy, baby..., but he could smell a p!g from a mile away )

They either own them or keep them booked up. My dad was an exec at Caesar's and it was always sheikhs up there. This was the late 80's and early 90's though.

As much as I hate the Saudis, I don't see what they would gain from this.
