If reports are true, the robbery cost them 5-figures and they are probably insured anyway.
If the robber shoots a customer, we might be talking about a 7-figure problem. If a security guard shoots a customer, they have an 8-figure disaster.
The most important lecture for security guards is to not use their weapon in a crowded space unless the other party is about to use theirs.
"Small robbery at Bellagio" is mostly local news, "multiple dead in shooting at Las Vegas casino" makes headlines worldwide, especially after the recent unfortunate event.
