New Best Practices for Risk Management One Year After the Las Vegas Shooting

February 07, 2019

More than a year ago, the hospitality industry changed forever when gunfire rang out over the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. The horrific mass shooting, conducted from the 32 nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel, stunned the nation and reshaped the conversation around risk management, safety and security.

The sad fact is such a tragic event can happen at any property, including resorts. While it's rare for a resort property to have an event that draws as large a crowd as the Route 91 festival (which attracted an estimated 22,000 attendees), any property that hosts a wedding, banquet, family reunion, conference or get-together of any kind could be a target for a violent act.
