MGM Resorts thinks it could pay as much as $800 million for lawsuits related to the 2017 massacre in Las Vegas, though it's not clear when or if settlements will be reached

Deals have not yet been reached between MGM and thousands of people who sued the company for a variety of reasons after a man killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 others by shooting from the window of MGM's Mandalay Bay hotel. The attack on attendees of a music festival was the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

But Robert Eglet, an attorney who says he represents more than half of the estimated 4,200 claimants, told CNN Business that they are still"a long way from a settlement, if it does settle."Families of Las Vegas shooting victims 'disgusted,' 'insulted' at MGM's lawsuit"It's just as possible at this point that it doesn't," Eglet said. He added that if a settlement is not reached, attorneys involved in the case will once again pursue litigation.

The DNC should pay half of it!

They're getting off cheap considering the owners didn't have loved ones slaughtered

The district farms out their support services like food and transportation and this is the outcome.😞

They shouldn’t pay anything. MGM had no duty to prevent something that was unimaginable. They shouldn’t be held liable because of something some asshole did acting alone.

your garbage WAS ALREADY DONE lucys

Matthew 2:16-18 Then Her'od when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the timewhich he had determined

So freaking sad 😭. That man was nuts

They fucked up when they filed lawsuits against victims, of course there is no liability, bad PR. I have friends that were there. Their lawyers keep digging bigger holes. Best option for MGM is to let the court room handle it, either way +- Bad representation for a bad situation.

Chump change

Yet gun manufacturers are protected.

The most difficuLt story》

How is there still no video of how he got all the weapons into the hotel? And now they are payin millions for lawsuits hmmm

So, more guns did make those concert goers safer.....Paddock was the good guy with many guns until the moment he wasn’t. Make the NRA pay those lawsuits.

Dont gamble there for awhile

And how much are those pricks in the NRA going to pay?

Sorry but it wasn't the resorts fault. It was the nutball who did it. Why can't blame be placed solely on the person(s) responsible?

My question was always about how a guy could stockpile an arsenal in one of their rooms and they knew nothing about it.

THE PROBLEM ALL STARTED WITH DRUGS. XANAX IN THIS CASE NO ONE SEEMS TO GET TO THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM. MENTAL ILLNESS, DRUGS AND GUNS.

NRA 'Gun of the Year' was used. But that had nothing to do with it.

They should've settled the first day, whatever the cost.

Why? They didn’t do anything wrong.
