what would be the main police agency there? (I know that part of the Strip is technically outside Las Vegas city limits)

In a situation like this they just keep sending cops and EMS until the dispatch says to stop. EMS has to hang out way outside the perimeter until the shooters are dead though.

Could this be a botched robbery? The situation is so weird.

The only reason you'd target a las vegas casino, is if you wanted to kill as many people as possible, which suggests this is an ISIS attack

the use of multiple coordinated active shooters is also consistent with that, they've done similar attacks on hotels in india or some poo poo

20+ is the number I'm seeing, plus UMC is at capacity after only accepting people with life-threatening conditions, so this is not going to hold at 20.

i don't think botched robberies would lead to straight up killing people versus taking hostages

ya this was my thought until I heard the scanners apparently peg white guys in fatigues multiple times

last time a couple militia people went through Vegas they ended up in a Wal Mart shooting everybody they saw, so bodycount isn't something they don't also appreciate. Granted, that one started with a police execution
