In October 2017, the terrible mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival killed nearly 60 people and injured countless others. Many victims of both physical and emotional harm have filed a Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit against the hotel that housed the mass murderer.

Plaintiff Arianna M. is filing a Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit against MGM, who owns the Mandalay Bay, and the Mandalay Bay Hotel. She is also filing this Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit against Live Nation, the Route 91 Harvest Festival itself as well as the estate of the shooter, Stephen Paddock.

Arianna claims, in her Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit, that she was attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival with her husband. According to her Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit, “Paddock fire multiple rounds of ammunition into the crowd of people at the Las Vegas Village from his hotel suite on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay.”

She claims that she and her husband were forced to take cover on the ground where her husband shielded her with his body. Arianna says, in her Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit, that she was struck by bullet casings and bullet fragments and that other concertgoers near her were shot.

The shooting allegedly went on for about 11 minutes, during which time the shooter, from a room in the Mandalay Bay hotel, killed 58 people and seriously injured hundreds of others. He is thought to have “used bump stocks to fire his weapons rapidly, mimicking automatic fire,” according to the Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit.

The shooter apparently used his VIP status as a high stakes gambler at the Mandalay Bay Resort to gain access to a service elevator. Through the use of that elevator, he transported ammunition and weapons to his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay.

Paddock was able to install security cameras in his room and in the hallway outside his room at the Mandalay Bay as well as smash two windows without being detected by hotel security. For days, leading up to the shooting, Paddock kept a “Do Not Disturb” sign on his door, according to this Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit.

Arianna claims that the hotel was negligent because they had a “duty of reasonable care in the protection an safeguarding of persons on all Mandalay Bay premises.”

She also claims that Mandalay Bay should be held responsible because they failed to properly surveil people going to and from the hotel and that they failed to monitor the hotel premises with closed-circuit televisions. Additionally, Paddock shot a security officer before he opened fire on the crowd, which the hotel also failed to investigate properly.

This Mandalay Bay shooting lawsuit also alleges that the hotel did not take precautions against Paddock’s delivery of guns or ammo and did not discover, in time, that he had broken the hotel windows in order to shoot.

Arianna claims that she caused “injury to her body an mind, past and future medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, past an future severe emotional distress, and past and anticipated future loss of income.”

This Mandalay Bay Shooting Lawsuit is Case No. 2:18-cv-05640-GW-SK in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District.
