Hotel staff at the Mandalay Bay hotel who interacted with Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock more than 10 times during his stay didn’t notice anything unusual, according to MGM Resorts International.
Paddock checked in to the hotel three days before he apparently unleashed a torrent of bullets on a country music festival on October 1, killing 58 people from the window of his 32nd-floor suite before he is said to have fatally shot himself.
The 64-year-old spoke to housekeeping on the phone and had room service delivered just hours before the massacre, a spokesperson for MGM Resorts International told the New York Daily News.
“There were numerous interactions with Stephen Paddock every day at the resort … all of which were normal in nature,” the spokesperson said. “As a result of these interactions, there was no need to conduct a welfare check.”
In total, “Mandalay Bay staff, room service and housekeeping had contact with Paddock or entered his suite more than 10 times over the course of his stay,” the spokesperson said.
