So now we will go through Airline type security to enter a hotel? linkI'm still trying to digest how the gun lobby gets off the hook for this.

I suspect that the hotel has deep pockets and someone has to pay. The hotel wants this to go away. I don't begrudge the victim's their payments. But if the hotel security is deemed at fault hotels are going to increase their security. We see how that works with the airlines.

While I don't agree that this is the industry's fault, maybe those with deep pockets will start lobbying for tighter gun control restrictions so they don't get sued when crazy people do things like this.

I doubt it. Stayed at that hotel a month after the settlement. The only thing that changed was if you have a do not disturb on while the maids are going through the rooms they leave a card basically saying we respect your decisions, call us when it's convenient to you to service your room, btw we can access your room at any time for a security check.
There was also a lot of security during the conference there which wasn't there 2 years ago (and the conference was the week after the shooting last time). I think there were more walking around the gambling floor too, but not for sure.

The guy had his do not disturb sign on and no one from the hotel had accessed the room.
I don't think I have stayed anywhere since shortly after that tragedy where the policy is they can come in the room whenever.
I don't stay in a room as long as he was in that room. I do use the do not disturb and no hotel has yet to force their way in. They have called to see if I am okay and that has been the end of it.
I usually stay in hotels when I've been to a concert. If I want to sleep in, I do not want to be bothered. I have told the front desk that.

Meh. There's metal detectors at schools, there's barricades around federal buildings, there's often bag checks at concerts and sporting events. HEck, I'm seeing office buildings where you need to "card key in" to get the revolving doors to unlock so you can get into the lobby of the building so you can go thru the metal detector. Why not at hotels (and restaurants and movie theaters and churchs - any place people congregate). I suspect that more and more "public" places will ramp up security. It's the cost of "freedom". 'Merica. I liked America a lot better - when it didn't seem like everyone was carrying a gun (legally or illegally). I actually felt safer back then.

Back when you felt safer, a gun was a tool used by hunters. Today, a gun is a status symbol. Most often carried by someone as a testosterone booster.

Actually I think it is still a tool used by hunters. The problem is that the prey an increasing number of hunters go after has changed species
