>A fellow gambler told the FBI that "Paddock was very upset at the way casinos were treating him and other high rollers," noting that roughly three years earlier casinos had started banning high rollers from certain events, hotels and even casinos.

>The gambler described Paddock as a high roller with a bankroll of approximately $2 million to $3 million who preferred playing video poker. The report states that the acquaintance believed the stress about how high rollers were being treated could "easily be what caused Paddock to 'snap.'"

>The Mandalay Bay hotel, Paddock's acquaintance told the FBI, "was not treating Paddock well because a player of his status should have been in a higher floor in a penthouse suite."

From the story;

>A trove of documents recently released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation show that the shooter who killed 58 people at a Las Vegas concert in 2017 was "very upset" about how casinos were treating him.

>The documents provide the strongest indication yet of a motive for the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

I posted the previous quote because of how entitled and out of touch the guy seemed, which is inline with this sub. Like imagine killing 58 people because your room wasn't on a higher floor.

I mean, if you've got that sort of money, surely there's many other ways and places one could find to enjoy life and status, rather than going berserk??
