MGM Resorts, owners of the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay hotel from where a gunman shot dead 58 people last month, is being sued for negligence by more than 450 victims of Stephen Paddock.
Lawyers claim the hotel could have done more to prevent Paddock from amassing an arsenal of weapons in his hotel suite, and they claim it should have responded faster when the first shots were fired.
Paddock fired into a crowded outdoor concert from his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay, leaving 58 dead and hundreds more injured.
One of the injured, Californian student Paige Gasper filed the first lawsuit against MGM last month in Nevada, but this week lawyers have filed four new negligence cases on behalf of 45o victims.
The new cases have been filed in Los Angeles, were lawyers representing the victims believe they will have a better chance of success than in Nevada, where jurors might be connected to MGM.
