Death and sex in LV-insider secrets

Before or after the CPR attempt ;-)
I also find it hard to believe that most of the dead bodies found in rooms are relocated to public areas so they don't lose room revenue.
You're likely correct about the quarantine, moving bodies aspect. Read all the comments and that assertion was never really well defended nor proven. No idea about how many deaths, murders, suicides there are or where the numbers come from. There are a lot of people in the city staying in rooms, enough to have some certainty of everything happening at some rate once you get millions of people.Quote: DRichI don't believe that 120 tourists were murdered in Las Vegas in 2014. I think they are playing games with their statistics.

I suspect so also.
Easier to have the morgue remove the body straight from the room, and modify only the paperwork with a cash payment. Unlikely that a property would have employees run around with a corpse when pen and ink would do.

lol you are incorrigible.

I found that hard to believe too. If the death was obviously by natural causes, maybe. However, it was a possible homicide, then the body shouldn't be touched until a detective gets there.
Quote: WizardI wrote about this before but I was at the LV Hilton once when a woman collapsed from the chair she was playing slots in about 20 feet from me. A good Samaritan tried to help her up, and when she didn't move, attempted CPR but it was pretty clear the woman had died playing quite a while ago, I'd estimate about an hour, and eventually the body just fell over. Anyway, I get the feeling the staff had seen the situation before as they put her on a stretcher in no time, and wheeled her out to the front door. An ambulance came surprisingly quickly too. It was as if it all happened every day and they knew exactly what to do. I have to give them credit.
We saw that happen at Horseshoe Hammond. Folks cleared away a bit, the authorities arrived and handled everything, a couple shaken friends/family members followed out, and about 5 minutes later someone else was playing the machine, none the wiser.
Tibetans set themselves on fire to prove a point. It is called self-immolation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-immolation_protests_by_Tibetans_in_China

Don't know how much goes on in Vegas, but after awhile, you no longer notice how many police or ambulance sirens you hear outside during the day.
The average seemed pretty high when I lived there. But after a few years you just don't notice it unless you make a conscious effort.
I know....Quote: bobbartoplol you are incorrigible.
Some where in the article it spoke of Luxor being the place where the jumpers land inside the casino or lobby.
Not good. I have stayed at the Luxor once or twice.
Back in the mid seventies, in the Omni Int'l complex in ATL (now CNN Center), I had a modest little gift shop. Worked long days, ate what little decent food was then available for meals. The theaters were open and I went and grabbed a couple hot dogs and headed back toward my shop, just 50 or so yards away. Bam! Shotgun blast, I twirled around in a nanosecond ( I used to be faster). There ten feet or less from me was what used to be a fellow human being, it had kind-of exploded. Not the right term, it ripped in a number of different directions but wasn't even bloody, just meat. I looked again, briefly. I looked at my hotdogs, then dropped them in the trashcan and went back to work. Never heard if it was a worker that had fallen, or a suicide/murder whatever.
If I find myself in the Luxor again, I will scan the heights above me before I settle in to play.

I recently watched my cat fall 16 feet from a railing in my house onto the tile floor. That was traumatic enough for me. I couldn't imagine seeing a person fall in the Luxor.

So is it true that cats always land on their feet?

My sister's cats were doing that with regularity. And for 18 hour a day lazy slugs, they seem to have the ability to land from heights multiple times their own height without harm (apparently).
Quote: WizardSo is it true that cats always land on their feet?
Actually it did. Feet first, then body, then head hits the tile. Hard enough that the cats collar popped off his head. It was stunned and hid for a day but has since recovered
BTW, a cat makes quite a thud when falling onto a tile floor.
linkQuote: NathanSuicides are so tragic anyway, but one particular tale of suicide in a casino particularly chilled me to the bone. A guy on a website said something like,"I was feeling great, I had been up $5,000 with just a $100 bankroll. I visited the restroom to wash my hands and go home. In the bathroom some guy said something to himself like,"I just lost my entire family's inheritance today," took out a gun and blew his brains out right in front of the innocent bystander. The bystander mentioned he never went back to a casino after seeing someone commit suicide right in front of him in a casino restroom. I can't imagine the horror of witnessing a casino suicide!
