    Why hasn't Vegas been a target yet?

    Too many soft targets with large crowds and people with mental health issues. What is to stop another France tragedy happening on the Strip with so many people walking on it.

    I think there was a car-plows-crowd incident a few months back.

    they know that the people out there more than likely want to be put out of their misery. at least the residents who are broke would. so they leave vegas alone for now.

    Between surveillance cameras, massive amounts of security and various law enforcement in the area and the fact that the dirty Saudis whom finance these nuts love Vegas and have major dollars invested in city you have your answer.

    Doesn't mean something doesn't happen but a likelier target would be Hoover dam.

    A few nukes dropped in Syria, Iran and near Damascus would end this nonsense once and for all.

    When the rodney king riots happen they were marching on vegas. The police met them outside of vegas and said there would be dying if they took a step forward. The guy that was manager for steve wind properties was from cinti. He ran acme playing cards when wynn hired him.His brother in law is famous atty in cinti named merlyn shiverdecker who sucked at gin. at least that is the story he told

    Vegas has some areas of strip with cement barricades.

    This nonsense started when someone forgot to finish the job 62 years ago.

    Why would a terrorist, who has accepted they are going to die anyway for their make believe god, care about cameras or escaping. It would be quite easy for some nut similar to the bombers in Boston to pull something off unfortunately with a suitcase etc.

    Three of the best FBI Files episodes that I've ever seen started with people going on crime sprees in Vegas. So it's definitely nothing to do with how safe the city is. I could ask the same question about a plethora of American cities. How come the terrorists haven't hit Chicago or Seattle or Nashville? The answer is simple. They haven't got around to it yet or they have no interest in those places. If you can F up NYC, Boston, Florida etc. then you can just as easily get Vegas or Chicago or any other city for that matter.

    Happened off strip and common knowledge the shooter was killed back in Cali. Pac wasn't a gangster but he played the part and got caught up in shit he never should have been involved in to begin with.
