Yeah Mohammed bin Salman was staying there at the time. Internal power struggle lead to other members of the Saudi Royal Family attempting to kill him. The assassins realized the plan was going to fail (MBS wasn't even there, he had snuck out to play cards in plainclothes in the Tropicana) and so they started shooting into the crowd to generate chaos, get the police to storm the hotel, and try to run away in the ensuing confusion. This fails,MBS's bodyguards kill them in their rooms, and then :marseyglow: attempt to cover everything up. Paddock (a CIA-connected independent weapons dealer who had brought the guns for the assassins to the hotel over the previous few days) gets killed and used as a patsy rather than the extreme international incident that would have followed had it been clear some Saudis killed a bunch of Americans. His brother gets hit with the CP on the computer charge to shut him up. BTW this is like literally the most common thing for the deep state to do if they want someone out of the way. Everyone hates pedos. Jesus Campos saw some of this, was asked to lie, and that's why he gives the weirdest interview of all time with Ellen. Externally, MBS begins an anti-corruption purge the next week, taking out several dozen other members of the royal family in a response.
