ah, las vegas was the last resort. it was like tombstone territory, where all outlaws go to die. the mob was really generous with everything they gave the rooms away. they gave the drinks away. the only thing they were concerned about was just making money on the gambling table. food and rooms and all that was just seeing as the service to keep the machines turner and you always felt welcoming even if you were poor because you're all totally walked out the door for the most

part. right. you could lose all the money that you had and you'd be, can't dinners and breakfasts is and rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas, you come back, you know, the next year and blow your money again. the main crime was skimming, and the lobsters protected their turn to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the st. criminals drew attention. so they stopped and got him out of town, put them in a shallow grave. over in san bernardino county, the old mom didn't allow street crime when the mob ran the town. people didn't lock their doors at night. it was considered to be a safe town back then. ma upstairs or skimming money off the casinos and not paying taxes on that money. but in the 1980s they started getting caught. so you're starting to see a transition from the old kind of marchers where the bat noses to suits ran into place. this is a totally integrated, balanced, resort of the man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. his casino mogul steve, when he set off a building boom in the 1980s that turned

a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist bought the when was the reason why vegas is the way it is. he's responsible for it. when he sold the gold nugget and he built the mirage, he changed las vegas tropical setting with lagoons, an adrian top homes. and you can see the show room where zig very roy are going to perform with a just loaded. that's where the template for the current las vegas casinos evolve from. las vegas started to change or get rid of the small independent own casinos going more into the corporate world. big money was starting to run the town as opposed to the people that live there. when you started seeing the logins, all that old stuff come down and all the new stuff was coming in. all these new

manga resorts. in the mid nineties, all vegas was gone through this family friendly phase. now jim la, over here, they decided to build the park on the back of the property. it was starting to become a place you could bring your kids to. and then they realize all these people here spend the time with their kids and on the casinos. tear down the theme bart gilmore, hotels and gym resorts international all over again. these properties and teasers all the most of the rest of what's left outside of that you have like the way in the car on the venetian. those are owned by other people. but for the bulk of it, you just have gym resorts in national and caesar's basically, all of all the corporations took over vegas and away from have around 880000 people in 992 around one and a half a 1000000 by the year 2000 the population almost doubled in the money do a lot more than that, which is blue. m g. i started taking over the town. they bought the mirage in

2000. and steve went, took some about 4400000000. the more i sold for an open to when i'm steve, when this is my new hotel, the only one i've ever signed my name to, and that's where steven path became a regular frequent visitor. once or twice a month. he's been staying in las vegas since 06. so we were talking about 11 years, a picture, a steve holding a $250000.00 check signed by steve with with steve came in. they said, though we got your room mr. paddock. steven paddock was well known on manley bay property. sometimes he was moody. never mean to any of us sell people just man a very few words. he was a high limit gambler, a guy by the name of richardson owned man lay bay. he would actually come down and

shake our hand and he was very personable and that's when steve attic was on a really good winning streak. when richardson owned the company, he would, when i got text from him, where he goes there cohen, my name for the 4th time, i'm sending mary lou up to get because he got like 5 of the 6 things in the drawing for a car. a he had 3 quarters of the tickets in the drum. when he needed to burn points, he'd go to their store and buy a bunch of, you know, $350.00 sunglasses and $450.00 watches, and then i get a box. as long as you got cash, you're getting a judge, you're getting the dinners, you're getting the 82 petrol. that's 20000 a bottle. g 's which over my mom's house. he did kick there. do you scope when plenty, he did very well, gambling he knew what he was doing. that all ended once m g m,

i bought mandalay bay changes came immediately. we got light bulbs for a christmas gift, but they taxed us $17.00 on our check for it. so it wasn't a gift. we bought a light bulb for our christmas gift. i am jam international tightened up a whole bunch of policies and procedures and they started pinching high limit gambler a little more stop fulfilling cox. they didn't make any money on him. so what would they do? they would say, oh, we're sorry steve, but there's going to be 3 x points tonight from midnight to 6, but you don't get the 3 x points. and then when they broke the deal, he was the deal to be off. they were jerking me around along the line, doing about his cops. i've seen this countless times with other gamblers. i limit gamblers would lose 500000 leave thought so mentally they would have this recovery

team, man, they put their chapstick on and start kissing a lot of moving things over for him. losing the amount of money he lost and they would promise him all these caught free weekend to stay a nice week and then you got me the bell guy goes in to go get his free room and all the sudden hotel towers fully committed, which means there aren't any rooms available, but they can sell him a creative room. this highly meant when gamblers think and because you know whole, she mailed me 2 days ago, confirming my cops. i get here and i have nothing. and i've already paid $100.00 for valet. i've given the bill guy 20 guys to escort me and now i got a picture, $500.00 for my room that supposed to be working as a bill person for 13 years. i saw it continuously thinking everything is going to

be caught and when they get there, nothing is comp, this deceptive practice comes from the very top, m g m, and mentally be they definitely want to hi, all these tricks. they pull on gamblers, they're there to make a winner, a loser. he wasn't successful in the gambling as he had been in previous years, a substantial portion of as well, and diminished. and that could have been a contributing factor when you blow your cache and vegas, you go from mr. see mr. p. mr. gee, to get it. they don't want, you know, more your cash to sigh a series. you blow your cash. you can't get a friggin. french fry. steve gambled, $1600000.00 at the mandalay in the week before he did this. i got the last 4 years of his w to g. i've got tax records that show that when he came in at the mandalay and

they wouldn't give him the room you want, he sat down and gambled a $1000000.00, so they gave him the room. he wanted violence behind gambling losses is not something that doesn't have it. he was really, really angry with the gaming industry. i think he wanted revenge for the money he lost at mandalay bay to leave and jim international full he's still got 2 houses. he's got all these guns and ammo. irene, this is not some guy that lost a $1000000.00 and decided to go home and pack up his guns. he pre planned this since monday or any questions for us to release a timeline from today. we have one to 5 for shots fired by the suspect to t last shots were for june. so g officers arrive on the 32nd floor, a security officer. tales fail videos or is he was shot and here's the exact

location. it was room $1120.00 officers in the suspects room. they observed a suspect down on the ground and said that metro timeline of the shooting is not correct. i am very well aware of the gym statement provided yesterday. i agree with their statement the timeline associated with the original shot. mr. tampa has changed. metro now says campbells was shot closer to 10 o 5. aligning the m gm's time table released yesterday, which says campus was shot at nearly the same time, or within 40 seconds of the mash, shooting outside. not the 6 minute gap given earlier this week by police, a campus was given an amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $300000.00 for his silence. he was also gifted to condos, and those come to the tune of about $2500.00 a month each. so as $5000.00 a month that has gifted in the form of a residence. and that came about the time that he was supposed to be on 5 different

television shows, doing interviews. suddenly he canceled shortly before the interviews were to occur and said, he just showed up on the allen show, with a cane and a lamp. he shot through this door right from behind the door. i didn't know how he was shooting out of all the investigative reporters that we have that can ask hard questions. i mean, ellen degeneres, who happens to have a whole line of slot machines that are sponsored by the m g m resorts. wow. so and i mean really he saved your life and he said the l. so the woman that came out of the door to hugh stopped everything and m g m resorts in mandalay bay did everything right. he just threw himself balls. is like she was telling him what happened. there was a metal bracket and holding the door in place. right. so what we're talking about here just everybody is clear. okay. so the only dam interview that he did was on a t v talk show. you just want this to be over,

so you're talking about it now and then you're not going to talk about it again. and she managed to keep him out of contact with the media. and they made sure that instead of hearing the facts from his mouth, we heard the facts from their mouths, but we are getting a better idea of what may happen to the 1 october shooting site, m g m resorts and metro are reportedly talking about the construction of a swipe building on a portion of that site, you would figure what you're interested, give responses to giving you such an enormous diphtheria known as las vegas village is valued at about $30000000.00. we know we're on our investigation by you guys. a few months ago, that's worth over $30000000.00 in this entire event investigation happened in an election year where it jo lombardo was campaigning to continue to be in the sheriff. he raised over a $1000000.00 las

vegas boulevard. stand up and say, this is where we're going to put our money, because it's who we want to have a letter in the naked, more than a $1000000.00 into share of jo lombardo so nobody else is going to win. if they try to run behind them, because there is a power machine behind a minute, the gaming industry, he's got a 1000000 bucks to spend on tv. all the hotels want him because he's going to do what they tell them to do. i don't want anybody to assume that they are on say, fi, you know, state, one of our hotels, almost every press conference, if you saw one figure. and that was steve's this way. he did see governor sandoval there. he didn't see even carolyn gumi of the mayor there, but you always saw steve, this lag in the background. he was on every national television set getting face time using this as a springboard for his political campaign. with

mass geysers financial survival guide, liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no as the domain to inflation datawatch guys report with a, with jason's grand standing on this very strong movement, views the elevator and then they weren't following through with them. i'm a journalist with the las vegas tribune, and i tried reaching out to the vegas strong resiliency center. couldn't get anybody on the phone that wouldn't answer emails. i couldn't get any answers on where this money had gone. if the money had gone anywhere, i was told i was going to get back to the amount of money and i didn't, you know,

we can suffer. they didn't get it christmas. my son's birthday followed up. he didn't get any birthday presents and his only rough rest of the year for me. i felt helpless and there was any i could do to support my family. that's definitely taken a child can change my life as a mother. and i thought i let my kids down, i do, i feel like i let them down, but they understand and they, they get in, thankfully my kids are very, very great, amazing children and they get in there. they're still there for me. there's a lot of broken people that haven't got the help that they needed. my managers daughter was there, she was injured. you had to go back and jo wilcher after happened. she couldn't stand up for work. she was a shot at the ellis and they fired her because she couldn't work. she lost her own kind of divorce. you see they got the very strong on the fire, a medic was old town was all in the we all got there moodle. and i wanted to get coffee in the window of dunkin donuts and they were selling vegas strong

t shirts out of the window. everybody had their hands in this big marketing ploy. the people that were victimized continue to be victimized because they have not received the funds right from i think we were, we lost everything. you know, we kids did. one of, you know, you know, many handle christmas nothing. i didn't want to be home because i was the medicaid, you know, we drinking and i would never ever allow myself to be in that way ever prior to rule and i'm okay limit and the next thing that can destroy it and i tested my sister by and she told me to pray and it's not anything you know, you'll never know what happened back there and we'll never know that's doing that. i feel, you know, it's dark. and i said by an ancient my phone number

a few minutes later and somebody was making on my door not scheme and me and they need to knock me down and seen rose front in my life. kids are on like i let them down and it's just so hard when i see it, you know, they're not part of their help at all. nobody wants to do anything i reach out for how many times a lot of products for everybody really it's donated for all over the world for the shooting. there's never been any distribution for receiving what money or media pretty silent about the whole thing. they're letting people forget about it and i don't think we're willing to let people there's always some where data politician can blame. and i will say that while i was the

fundraiser, but i'm not responsible for distributing what the hell you're not. because if you're not going to distribute the might the victim why collect in, i think the community tobar 1st is a tragedy, but just like he thought as an opportunity, every time there was an event that involve vegas, he was there walking around and making certain that he got a dis, community issue, the site itself and it never showed before. and i'm really proud if las vegas i saw him jumping in front of cameras to show his support and to be real emotional about this horrific tragedy that happened. but i didn't see him dispersing any money. he collected a lot of money for a raise overturned $1000000.00, and here it is on my building. it's over 10 feet long and it's up there on a street. i've been a business owner in downtown las vegas for over 10 years, and i just, i love my community and i thought we are helping and we're not in,

i don't know where that money is out, but it's not getting to the people that need the victims are getting at the victims are missing the rad. they're missing their mortgage payments. eventually the funds were distributed that they weren't distributed at the time that the people needed it. they needed those funds early on. that's when the bills are racking up. that's when the rents do the car payments to the insurance to do that is when they needed the help, they didn't get it. and jim emailed me shortly after the shooting, and they said that they realized what happened that night. it was horrible and they'd like to offer me a 10 percent coupon on my next day at one of their properties. because obviously a 10 percent discount in a hotel room is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims. forget the hell that we suffer. that night. you're here with us, my recollection. we have information on the 25th. i told you previously the 28th. you got the timeline changed in 3 times. only because people were calling out

things a young man. that's not how we conduct a service. okay, but he said i'm presented with a question on the at the ivr 41. and that's not how i conduct press conferences, man official timeline, he's please stop asking your question. he got really angry and that lady was never allowed in the room again and there shortly after they did. here's the timeline, mashed the independent journalist findings. sometime late october, i was here and i notice that there is a camera mounted on the outside of this business. and i was wondering actually caught any of the photos from people coming through here. if i could take a look at and see if i could access the information. and actually, you know, the videos on fox news to me and drag what appears to be a fallen victim in the parking lot. the business owner who possesses this tape tells us that no law enforcement officer or government investigator has ever seen the video. or even asked to see if you would think that the l b, m, p, d,

and the f b. i would want every piece of evidence that they could possibly get their hands on . we have hundreds of agents covering every facet of this investigation. nothing will be overlooked. cheerful bartow promised a comprehensive investigation until the damages of this steven paddock, crime scene. and we still haven't received the results of this comprehensive investigation. so i decided to call into a radio show in which share from bartow was answering questions involving the leave the images. man. you had ramos, or be interested in, and then you would let us know when that outcome was, what they're saying. and you're waiting, frankly not, so we pretty comprehensive investigation. we try to run the ground there. we were never able to source of the leak was the department with over $600000000.00 budget . yeah. they couldn't figure out who really images from a cell phone. imagine that in my opinion,

share from bartow is line. certainly not the 1st line he sold it. i want to over for the 1st time use to see the last name to say community. yes. is it a safe tours community? yes. during church on bar reelection campaign, a violent crime report was released to show that the violent crime rate in las vegas had been reduced when in fact it didn't take into account the 58 that we lost 1 october. and there was also 2 other homicides. did it also didn't take into account, so you had 60 homicides that were not included in this report. so the crime rate ashley was the highest in las vegas in history. if you include the 60 day so conveniently, left out. my name's to papa form a police officer deputy sheriff in criminal investigator and i spent about 20 years in the casino industry as a director of security. and i'm also a journalist. i was listening to the radio static swat off,

so we buy hancock on the radio and said we have an actual discharge. when none of that was released publicly jo bottle do the same thing about the actual discharge library. the story about a month later in the baltimore post examiner and a lady came out and said that was an actual discharge. it kind of expose the fact that he hadn't been entirely truthful with the public. and that was when a lot of people started asking questions about why we weren't being given the whole truth accidental discharge, excuse me. he was tell him to jump in. he does have a paid puppet. he's a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between l e m p and the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide any story. when you try to hide a conspiracy theories dictated breeds. people saying, why is eli and he's a liar, the covering this up becoming that up. if there was

a conspiracy, there was conspiracy to cover up negligence and a competence one of the store as a title was joe bottle ally or competent. both the word and competence has been brought forward and i am absolutely offended with that characterization shut down. all the press conferences, shut the look out of the information and the story just started to go away. and then shortly after that, you get to radio encryption where the public no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out in, on january 23rd and 4th, vegas metropolitan police department to pull out the public ability to listen to what happening in the city and they were getting cold out on a daily basis for the inconsistencies, and they kept changing the stories. and i think probably all of that was based on the fact that people could check up by listening to the radio. you can compare it to the stories you can see for yourself that there were until the truth

i age are news outlets have filed low suits, asking law enforcement to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting. this is, according to the eli times, which is one of the plane of over half a dozen media. all those got together lawsuit together to sue the laws as much paul police department over them refusing to release these documents at the court, ordered them to release. the supreme court ruled that all information was supposed to be given out immediately. so sure, when bartow decided to charge nearly half a $1000000.00 to get this information. another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of information about that. los vegas metro police can not charge the media high fees to get records on the 1 october shooting at the behest of the court system, we were mandated to provide body warren camera footage and document footage as part of a public information request. the las vegas special quality employees from started

releasing data that only bits at a time or from borrow cherry picked which information you wanted to have come out before the election and which information was gonna come out after the election. and there was not a new sure been down with jo lombardo was re elected as las vegas metro, tedious sheriffs and june of 2018. it wasn't until after that that he chose to release videos of his officers cowering in the hallway, outside of steven paddocks room instead of immediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot at about hotel room window. join me every posted on the alex silent. sure. but obviously new to get from the

world of politics. small business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah christmas the traditional yuletide holiday this year i'm making this traditional with a special christmas guide. me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly numbered. i follow the agenda that make us know woman instead of snowman, or even better, that this new person designed for themselves. ah ah, ah, no gift, no, don't want any better. prepare your children for the brave new world. i
