Thankfully, more people didn’t die. Thankfully, more people weren’t injured.

Mandalay Bay is adding to its security even as it cuts hours of other employees.
Boyd Gaming is informing guests at all its properties that hotel personnel will enter a room if a “Do Not Disturb” sign is left on a door for more than 48 hours.

The Metropolitan Police Department will have increased presence at Sunday’s Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon, and organizers expect security to be tight as ever. Police have planned for multiple scenarios at the marathon, and prepared safeguards and responses for each one, Capt. Andy Walsh said.
Seeking closure, 38-year-old California resident James Marrs was returning to Las Vegas for the first time since the Oct. 1 country music festival shooting. Marrs had been driving for about two hours when the news alert flashed on his phone screen: “Deadly shooting at Texas church.”
Sunday’s “Vegas Cares” show closed with the Las Vegas band Elvis Monroe playing the new song, “We Fight.”
