2017 mass shooting at Mandalay Bay

On October 1, 2017, a gunman fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino into the Route 91 Harvest country music festival across the street, killing 60 people and injuring hundreds; the incident was the deadliest mass shooting by a single person in modern U.S. history as widely reported. The attack and its aftermath generated extensive news coverage, investigations, and civil litigation. Some local commentary and media pieces have described the site and surrounding events in terms suggesting a "curse," but such language reflects cultural reaction rather than an established factual conclusion.
