unfortunately there will never be a solution. If all guns were to magically disappear, then knives, swords, bombs, peoples own fists will be used as weapons.... evil will exist in the world until the end of time.

Too bad guns can't magically disappear. Only little men need and want them. Many little men on here. Imagine if they had to use fists to defend themselves.

this was my first thought as well, but then why no reflection from any other floor windows ??

I haven't thought this through much and can't really figure out how either. One possibility is those windows open partially with a tilt (since it wasn't broken) so it picked up different reflection? Or just off a random car or business?

The Luxor and TheHotel would be the closest properties I think. Neither at an obvious angle.

I'll use this as an example ...the only thing I could think of is some ( maybe most ) windows at The Mirage open slightly ...
it almost works like a slot window where you unlock it and push out, but it only opens about 4-6 inches
so if I was on a higher floor with a rifle or whatever at night, there goes your reflection

it's the only thing I can think of right now.
But i would think if the cops saw this video or had reports on it, we would have heard about a 2nd shooter

Four DDM4 rifles - made by Daniel Defense - were among the 23 weapons found in Paddock's hotel room by the SWAT team after they busted in. They sell for around $1,700.

Also in his terrifying arsenal were three of these FN-15 rifles, as well as guns made by Sig Sauer. Some of the semi-automatic guns had been fitted with bump-stocks that allow for, essentially, fully automatic fire. They're priced around $1,300.

An AK-47 was also found in the room with the other weapons. AKs can come with fully automatic fire functions, but it's not known if that was the case here. AKs vary in price depending on the manufacturer, but cost around $1,000.

A Colt AR-15 was also found in the room. Such weapons are semi-automatic when bought legally and cost around $1,000. At least one full-auto weapon was found, but it's not known if it was modified or had that function when manufactured.

Two 'bump stocks'. While not weapons in themselves, these stocks modify semi-automatic weapons allowing for something close to fully-automatic fire. They fit over the stock of a semi-auto rifle, and function by allowing the weapon to 'bump' back and forth as it is fired using the weapon's recoil. Each bump brings the user's finger down on the trigger, firing a round. This allows users to skirt around regulations prohibiting fully-automatic weapons.
