Oh, big counter to consent, in the first video, after securing pants, I direct them all to leave my room immediately.  There was no doubt I did not want those representatives in my room.

Just trying to be honest here instead of being a dick if you're that sleep deprived maybe now isn't the best time for this thread. Without a bit of preamble to give us context this is going to get drawn out into a mess of a thread.

Because of that I have to ask why even tell them you "had" a gun that you left somewhere?

Was there any mention of guns at check in by any party ?
Was there any mention of guns during any interaction with staff or other guests prior to 11pm ?


No and No.  None whatsoever.  I'm really curious what got them sniffing toward me.  I honestly have no idea.  

And why did I mention it?  I had conversations at the con that I had participated in Byte The Bullet, an outing with the local FBI field office that involved shooting.  I have no idea who overheard or why or how they knew me if that happened.

Yes.

You say no conversations where guns mentioned before 11pm visit.

Yet you also mention saying you had a gun but left it elsewhere ?

OP, if you told him you had a gun and their policy is all guns checked at desk, then you are at fault here.

I don't like or approve of their policy, but it is private property and their rules apply.

That sucks, we don’t have those problems here in TX.

I go to Vegas pretty often, I have carried my LCP II there with no issues.

Up in OK I’ve been known to carry a G19 to the casinos there.

Either way it’s unacceptable for you to be intimidated like that

Even as federal LEO here in OK I won't carry in a casino here. Indian land is something I don't mess with. Granted, you need one on you when you leave the casino and walk to your car but I'm not about to get caught in that trick bag.

When I checked in to the Paris in Vegas they brought up my name on the reservations screen and knew damn near everything there was to know about me. Where I gambled over the years, how much gambling I do, casinos I've been to in other states and Canada, and I wouldn't doubt what I do for a living. They then comped my wife and I a suite for the week.

Vegas casinos run their business by knowing who has money.

Well I guess it has been a learning curve ?

Knock knock.

Look through peephole. "Can I help you". Apply chain.

"We need to enter and search for your gun."

"I do not have a gun. I am going back to bed. Goodnight."

Larpers join in.

"Are you police officers ?"

"Well then, goodnight".

Then - you would discover why they picked you. Random check - unlikely to bust door down. Intel - bust door down or call police.

Either way - would look great on film !

Its legal even if the policy is "no firearm"

If you get caught with a firearm, they can eject you for trespassing if indeed their policy is no firearms on the premise.

I have to say that is true.

I was not aware that hotels could prohibit firearms in the room. I was under the impression that hotel rooms had the same legal protections as ones home.

I am fairly certain that hotels are bound by both state and federal laws regarding these things due to being engaged in interstate commerce.

Perhaps I am mistaken but I would guess that this is just Vegas being Vegas and pretending that they can do whatever they want and that no one has taken them to court yet.

Well whatever it was that led to the 11pm visit ( and there was something - it was not random ) you have pretty much fucked any chance you had of any future visits to Vegas with concealed meaning concealed.

Hotels talk to each other. They keep databases.

You are most certainly on the radar now !


Edit - with that in mind -

Was there any incident on previous visits ?

Did you ever check a firearm into hotel security on a previous visit ?

Did you pay with a business credit card that identifies your firearms business ?

A good friend of mine works in casino surveillance.   They are separate from security.  He tells me they watch the check in's at the hotel side of the property and can pretty much tell who the guys are bringing guns with them because their cameras are able to zoom in and read the time on your watch from the moment you park your car in the lot. Most goobers have their gun brand stickers on their pelican cases screaming out that they have firearms to the world as well.  They don't care about it unless you are going full out Showboat Sammy to everyone that you are packing.  If you are walking around and it's obvious that people around you can see that you are packing they will notify security.

The insurance companies for these corporations decides the rules.

Note to self, any "not recognized armed hotel security" knocks at my door after I'm asleep, call 911 and report armed people in your hotel and you think your life is at risk

Sorry OP, that's fucked up. If they're going to wake me up, I'm going to metaphorically pull the fucking fire alarm for the whole fucking hotel.  Interesting how you've been checked in for what, 4-5 days, and now they're "asking you" at 1100PM?

I really think a lawsuit is in order; damages are disturbing your sleep, increased heart palpitations, escalating blood pressure, forced underwear exposure, and forced to violate your "curse jar rules" and losses of several hundreds of curse-word dollars!

Loose lips sink ships.

You had to have said something to someone you don't know who relayed the information to authorities. I'm assuming it was during the conference. At DefCon registration do they still ask for your hotel name? Possibly not as it took them awhile to track you down.

If they see something during check-in they would have addressed it right there. If it was because the maid found something they would have rousted you during business hours and if you weren't home, they would have left a nice letter in your suite inviting you to visit the manager's office.

What other likely causes are there?
