    In that part of the world he might have pushed casino chips to the banker.

    Maybe they have evidence his goal was to escape Mandalay Bay and attack elsewhere?

    It's a damn good thing he didn't use tracers. Of course, if he had he might have just as well hung neon signs pointing to his windows, but they would likely have ignited the tanks if he got half a dozen hits.

    The article reads "Balding and paunchy, Paddock was the opposite of flashy. On his application, he said his income came from "gambling." He gambled about $1 million a year, he told one of the agents. And he paid cash for the house, the agents said -- $369,022"

    So who knows for sure.

    I know this sounds crazy, but gambling $1 million a year for a big/pro gambler isn't really that much.

    Maybe you should wait for the reporting.

    In this country we average, what, a hundred people a day getting shot?

    Blowing up a hundred thousand gallons of Avgas in a city center, that's new, and close enough to a bombing that it would get the terror tag even if no one was hurt.
