Mandalay Bay / MGM sues 1000+ victims of Las Vegas tragedy

Post by Bruenor »

Well I know one place I'll never stay if I end up in Las Vegas..

Mandalay Bay hotel owner MGM has filed suit against more than 1,000 victims of the Las Vegas massacre as it tried to kill off any future lawsuits over the mass shooting.

Lawyers for MGM Resorts International, which also owns the venue where the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival was held, has asked a judge to find that the company is not liable for deaths, injuries or damage caused at the event.

The lawsuit claims sympathy for the victims, saying that 'years of drawn out litigation' is not in their best interests.

Legally, I can kinda see the reasoning for this. But whoever thought the optics from a PR/marketing standpoint would be anything but an absolute disaster seriously needs their head examined.

Brand suicide.

The victims could call for a boycott, and it'd probably stick.
