Westgate installs gun detecting device without informing guests

So let me get this straight... they're scanning customers for weapons, without their knowledge, and disallowing anyone armed- to include off-duty, sworn LE with the exception of those who have jurisdiction in LV? They better have signs, otherwise that could be problematic for those entering and all of a sudden while waiting to check in two LVPD officers show up and ask them to leave. Guess I can strike Westgate off my list of businesses to patronize. I sure hope this trend doesn't start spreading.

Or a training 'blue gun' wrapped in foil.

My other take on this is that the hotel industry is going down a similar path as the airline industry. Their customers and the customer experience are not important. This should go well.

Maybe it's about time for those who utilize hotels frequently to look into buying an RV?

I'd argue the opposite. People want to feel safe, like they don't have to worry about someone raining down gunfire on them from above, and the hotels will oblige.

All they have to do is put on their reservation sites that they reserve the right to scan clientele for "the security of their patrons" and that's all there will be to it.

But I've never heard of the Westgate, either.

Hmm,
The world's great Las Vegas Antique Arms Show™,International Sporting Arms and Custom Knifemakers Show™ to be held JANUARY 19, 20, & 21,2018 at the Las Vegas Westgate Resort and Casino (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton).
Many of the SHOT Show attendees stay there also.
That should light up their scanners.
Wonder if the Balfours (the new owners of the Antique Arms Show) will have to seek a new venue.
Most all of the participants - table holders and buyers, return to their rooms with the high-end firearms they are trading, selling, and buying.
How will the hotel handle that?

Looks like this has been in the works for quite a while - https://www.ktnv.com/news/westgate-i...pons-detection

The other issue will be people checking in with firearms, then being told they aren't allowed on the premises. Will they provide an immediate, and full refund? Of course not, because the no guns, knives, or antique all metal hairdryers wording will be buried in the agreement that nobody reads.

"There's a division in the Marine Corps of special people that are specially trained to guard the embassies," Wynn told 13 Action News in September. "That's a whole division with separate base, separate training. There are almost 40 of them at every opening of my building, plain clothes, armed, on the look-out, changing shift and being relieved every two hours so they don't get bored."

Wonder if they take leave from the Marine Corps when they are busy guarding Wynn's casinos?
Or, are we as taxpayers ensuring his casino's have the whole division at his disposal?

Sounds like a 6 years old's imagination running wild to me.
