So, potential future shooters will be limited to the number of guns that they can bring in to the hotel in 24 hours (or however many hours they have between the last inspection and their "event".) I'm sure that will help a lot.

I couldn't find the exact interview, but I distinctly remember Wynn saying they have devices that can detect guns in bags and on persons.

I found an interview where he just mentions "devices" amongst other extreme security measures.

- "Devices" at every entrance that the public can't see

- 40 Plain clothed, armed, former Marines trained specifically for guarding US embassy's at each entrance.

- Seal team and CIA agents that form private counter terrorism that have direct communication with FBI etc.

Video is from 2016, so tough to say how much of that is or ever was implemented. The NYC subway is just now piloting metal detector type devices which are poles which detect "signatures" of common items and weapons. I have no idea how often these detect weapons or false positive on a laptop or lacrosse stick, and the press has not been interested in the science of it so far.
He had 10 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. Killed 60+ and wounded 400+. Yes this would be a fraction but still possible to cause a lot of harm in 24hr.
