EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 1 October Memorial Committee’s multi-faceted outreach effort to engage the community was
successful, resulting in 6,066 people participating in a 15-question on-line survey between March 1-14,
2021. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64%) discovered the survey through newsletters/intranet
sites/email blasts, Facebook or from their employer/workplace.
The Committee mostly achieved its goal to ensure broad and diverse participation.
 Geographically, 81% of respondents were from Nevada, 18% were based domestically, but
outside Nevada, and 1% of respondents from international locations.
 Respondents were also diverse in the ways they were impacted by 1 October. Nearly half of
respondents (47.7%) identified as a community member. One in five (20.1%) identified as
survivors, nearly one in 10 (9.3%) identified as a first responder or community responder, 6.3%
lost a family member or a friend, and 7.4% were family/friends of survivors. Nearly one in ten
(8.3%) indicated having been in the immediate vicinity at the time of the shooting.
 Two areas of focus to increase participation in subsequent outreach efforts are California-based
attendees and Spanish-speaking community members.
Key findings:
1. When asked “what feelings do you want to experience at the memorial” – more than half (50%)
of respondents selected healing, peace, respect and community and more than 40% selected
strength, unity, love, comfort and honor.
2. A clear majority of respondents (65.5%) indicated that it is extremely or very important that the
memorial is located at the event site.
o Notably, more than half of all groups expressed this preference, with survivors feeling most
strongly (>78.3%) that the memorial be located at the event site.
3. Almost one in six (17.6%) indicated that it is extremely or very important that the memorial is
not located at the event site.
o However, two groups expressed this preference more frequently -- those who reported
PTSD (27.6%) and those who lost a member of their extended family or close friend
(28.1%).
4. In response to query about “importance of possible features/additional considerations” the

priorities of respondents were:
1) Nearly 3 in 4 (73.1%) of all respondents rated education about the event as extremely or
very important.
 Those who reported experiencing PTSD were more likely to deem an education
component important, followed closely by survivors, and friends and families of victims
and survivors.
2) Seven in ten (70.6%) of all respondents felt it was extremely or very important that the
memorial appeal to all ages.
o No significant difference between impacted groups.
3) More than six in ten (62.5%) indicated addressing the issue of mass casualty violence as
extremely or very important.
2
o Those who reported PTSD, family and friends of survivors, and survivors were more
likely to place importance on this feature. First responders, their friends and families,
and community responders were less likely to view this feature as very or extremely
important.
4) Six in ten respondents (60.1%) deemed an artistic feature extremely or very important.
o No significant difference between impacted groups.
5) Ability to leave momentos to commemorate victims and survivors was extremely or very
important to 57% of respondents.
o Those with PTSD, survivors and their friends and families, and loved ones of victims
placed greater importance on this feature. First responders and community members
placed slightly less importance on this feature.
6) An interactive component was extremely or very important to a quarter (25.0%) of
respondents.
o Those who lost extended family or friends and those reporting PTSD were more likely to
express this preference.
5. When asked to provide a single word describing the most important aspect for the memorial,
respondents offered 784 terms/phrases, however, the eight words most frequently offered are:
Remembrance, Respect, Honor, Healing, Unity, Peace, Community, Love

INTRODUCTION
The 1 October Memorial Advisory Committee is a seven-member group of citizens appointed to develop
ideas and recommendations, based on community input, for a permanent 1 October Memorial that will
remember those who perished in the events of 1 October 2017, honor the survivors, and the many
heroes who inspired the nation with their bravery, and to celebrate the resiliency and compassion of our
community. To accomplish its mission, the Committee conducted a survey of the community and those
impacted by the 1 October shooting, using Cannon Survey Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
as the partner for survey development, data collection, and preparation of the results. The survey
instrument was developed collaboratively with the Committee and key contacts from other memorial
projects, and was approved by the Committee during the public meeting on February 24, 2021.
DATA COLLECTION
The survey was administered using the Qualtrics online survey platform from March 1-14, 2021; 7,204
accessed the survey link and 6,066 respondents were retained, having answered one or more question
(roughly 5,500 answered most or all questions). 1 The survey was available in Spanish, utilized by 0.2% of
respondents (n=14). Recruitment of survey respondents was done primarily through a planned media
effort by Clark County Public Communications and the 1 October Memorial Committee, which included a
dedicated website, an advertising and marketing campaign, news media outreach, outreach to survivor
groups and other groups of local and government employees impacted, and word of mouth (snowball
sampling).
SURVEY RESULTS
Survey respondents were first asked to indicate the feelings they want to experience when visiting the
memorial. The majority of survey respondents selected healing (63.1%), peace (59.7%), respect (56.4%),
and community (52.2%). This was followed by a large minority who selected strength (45.9%), unity
(45.8%), love (43.3%), comfort, and honor (42.6% each). The full chart and table of results are shown
below, and verbatim “other” responses are available in Appendix B.

Two test cases (test@yahoo.com) and one “troll” case were removed (written responses repeatedly indicated this was not a
serious response).

IMPACT OF 1 OCTOBER EVENT ON SURVEY RESPONDENTS

To better understand the perspectives of survey respondents, respondents were asked to identify the
ways in which they were impacted by the 1 October event. Nearly half of survey respondents (47.7%)
identified as a community member or were identified as such given their comments under “otherwise
impacted.”2 Given that roughly one in four respondents originally selected “otherwise impacted,” the
responses were reviewed for recoding into new and existing categories. 3
2
Example terms include “community member,” “local,” “Nevadan,” “Las Vegan,” etc., however, it should be noted that the
community of those impacted is not limited to this geography.
3
New categories derived from “otherwise impacted” included family/friends of survivors, family/friends of first responders,
otherwise know/knew survivor/victim/first responder, and PTSD/Mental Health impact. Verbatim responses for those that
remained as “otherwise” are provided in Appendix D.
6
Over one in five respondents (20.1%) identified as survivors, 6.3% lost a family member or friend, and
7.4% are family/friends of survivors. First responders made up 5.1%, 4 and their family/friends 0.9%.
Nearly one in ten (8.3%) indicated having been in the immediate vicinity at the time of the shooting.
Among community members and otherwise impacted respondents, there were many comments that
referenced survivors’ guilt either directly or indirectly, using terms such as “I should/could have been
there,” or “I had tickets but didn’t go.”

LOCATION OF MEMORIAL
To assist the Committee in the key decision of location, the survey asked respondents how important it
is to them that the memorial is or is not located at the event site. A snapshot of the mapped cross
streets was shown to the respondents for reference. A clear majority of respondents (65.5%) indicated
that it is extremely or very important that the memorial is located at the event site (43.3% and 22.2%,
respectively). Less than one in five respondents (17.6%) felt that it is extremely or very important that
the memorial is not located at the event site (11.7% and 5.9%, respectively).
Survivors of the event were more likely than others to indicate that it is extremely or very important to
them that the memorial is located at the event site (79-83% for survivors and 66% for respondents
overall). Conversely, those who lost a member of their immediate family or who wrote in PTSD as a
significant impact were more likely than others to indicate that it is extremely or very important that the
memorial is not located at the event site (28% each vs. 18%, respectively).

First responders were coded to include medical/healthcare staff in the field and in hospitals, as well as “last responders” or
coroner’s staff.

IMPORTANCE OF POSSIBLE FEATURES/ ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The Committee additionally sought to assess community priorities for potential features of the
memorial, so respondents were also asked to rate the importance of several additional considerations
and components typical of community memorials.
9
The additional consideration with the highest perceived importance was education about the event,
which was rated as extremely or very important by a clear majority (73.1%) of respondents. This was
closely followed by appealing to all ages, which 70.6% rated extremely or very important. A smaller
majority rated as such for an artistic feature (60.1%) and the ability to leave mementos to
commemorate victims and survivors (57.0%). One in four (25.0%) indicated that an interactive
component is a very or extremely important consideration.
Education about the event was more likely to be rated as extremely or very important by those who
reported PTSD as an impact than other respondents (85% compared to 73%). Addressing the issue of
mass casualty violence was more likely to be rated as extremely or very important by those reporting
PTSD (75% vs. 63% of respondents overall), but least likely to be rated as such by first responders (51%).
An interactive component was more likely to be rated as extremely or very important by those who lost
an extended family member or friend or those reporting PTSD (36% and 39% respectively vs. 25%
overall). Several groups more likely than to rate ability to leave mementos as very or extremely
important (57% overall vs. 70% of survivors and those who lost immediate family, 72% of those who lost
extended family or friends, 74% of survivors with injuries, and 78% of those reporting PTSD). There was
not significant variance between subgroups with regards to perceived importance of an artistic feature
or appealing to all ages.

I DO NOT THINK THAT A MEMORIAL IS NECESSARY. RESIDENTS OF NEW YORK INVOLVED IN THE 9-11 EVENTS
DID NOT VISIT THE MEMORIAL FOR YEARS AFTER BECAUSE OF THE HORRIFIC MEMORY.
I DON’T VISIT THEM
I DON’T WANT A MEMORIAL TO BE BUILT
I DON’T WANT THE MEMORIAL
I DON’T
I DON'T BELIEVE A MEMORIAL IS NEEDED IN THE PARK, THERE ARE FAR BETTER WAYS TO SPEND OUR MONEY
EYE TO ENHANCE THE PARK AND REPAIR EQUIPMENT.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE NEED A PERMANENT MEMORIAL
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BUILD ONE!! WHO WANTS TO HONOR A SENSELESS MASSACRE?? I THINK THAT
THE CITY'S MONEY SHOULD GO FOR SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT AND USEFUL. LIKE SHELTERS FOR THE
HOMELESS.
I DON'T WANT ONE.
I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER A HORRIBLE ACT.
I FEEL THAT THERE IS A FALSE CARING BY PEOPLE WHO PUT UP MEMORIALS. IT HAPPENED AND CONSTANT
REMINDERS HINDER PEOPLE FROM MOVING ON.
I HATE MEMORIALS TO CRAZY PEOPLE
I HAVE NEVER VISIT
I HAVE NOT VISITED IT.
I HAVEN'T VISITED
I KNOW, I WAS THERE
I NEVER WENT THERE BUT I REALLY WANNA GO
I THINK IT’S A BAD IDEA
I THINK THAT NOT PUTTING THAT MEMORIAL IN THE SPOT THAT IT HAPPENED DOES A ROTTEN WAY WE LET
THE CASINOS DICTATE WAY TO MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS.
I THINK YOU SHOULD ASK THE SURVIVORS THAT WERE THERE, I KNOW OF 3 PEOPLE PERSONALLY THAT WERE
THERE AND SUFFERED ONLY EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE AND PTSD. ALL TO DIFFERENT
DEGREES. YOU SHOULD ALSO ASK THE SURVIVORS THAT WERE PHYSICALLY INJURED BUT SURVIVED. I THINK
THE MEMORIAL SHOULD BE ON THE STRIP, BUT I KNOW THE HOTELS DO NOT WANT TO UPSET THEIR
CUSTOMERS.
I WANT IT TO TOUCH MY HEART
I WAS THERE. I MOVED AFTER THE FACT. I’LL NEVER MOVE BACK.
I WILL NOT GO TO SUCH A MEMORIAL.
I WOULD NOT VISIT (X2)
I WOULD NOT VISIT THE MEMORIAL. I WOULD PREFER THE MONEY BE SPENT ON MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO
PREVENT THESE TYPES OF EVENTS.
I’D LIKE TO MORE ABOUT DETAILS OF EACH PERSON’S LIFE. THE SURVIVORS AND THOSE THAT DIED.
I'D LIKE A MUSEUM OR ARENA HIGHLIGHTING ACTS OF KINDNESS.

INDIFFERENCE
INSPIRATION TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. MAYBE SOMETHING ABOUT IMPROVED MENTAL
HEALTH, COMMITMENT TO BETTER CASINO POLICY
INTROSPECTION
IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON
IT WAS 4 YEARS AGO, I LOST PEOPLE ON THAT NIGHT TOO...MOVE ON
IT’S HARD TO EXPLAIN THE FEELING. IT’S ONE OF MOURNING BUT NOT OF SOMEONE YOU KNOW BUT
SOMEONE SO INNOCENT WHO WENT TO THE EVENT JUST TO ENJOY THEIR LIFE.
JOY IN MUSIC

MOURNING
MOVING FORWARD STRONG!
MY WIFE AND I ARE SURVIVORS AND WERE CELEBRATING JUST GETTING MARRIED THAT FRIDAY. IT’S HARD FOR
US TO SAY WHICH IS BEST FOR WE WEREN’T HURT BUT EMOTIONALLY MAYBE HURT. FOR US GOING TO
GOLDEN KNIGHTS GAMES 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT WE ALREADY HAD TICKETS FOR SEEMED TO HELP US HEAL. I
THINK SOME HOW THEY NEED TO BE ASKED THEIR THOUGHTS. THEY HELPED SO MANY OF US LOCALS THAT
WERE AFFECTED BY THIS.
N/A - NO MEMORIALS, LET THE VICTIMS REST IN PEACE.
NATIVE MOJAVE PLANTS.
NEVER AGAIN!
NEVER BEEN
NEVER BEEN TO IT
NEVER FORGET
NEVER FORGET BUT FEEL SERENITY & HONOR LIVES LOST
NEW BEGINNINGS...
NO LIES OR FAKE BS
NO MEMORIAL NEEDED
NO MEMORIAL WANTED
NONE/NONE OF THE ABOVE/NOTHING (X7)
NONE OF THE ABOVE. DON'T LIKE REMEMBERING A TRAGEDY
NONE. IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO BUILD MEMORIALS FOR TERRORIST EVENTS BECAUSE IT GIVES TERRORISTS A
MEANS TO GLORIFY THEIR ACTIONS, WHETHER IT IS MEANT FOR THE VICTIMS OR NOT.
27
NOT A GOOD IDEA. TRAGEDY NEEDS CLOSURE.
NOT INTERESTED AT ALL ABOUT THE "MAGNITUDE". IT WAS BIG AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. WHY "ADD" THAT
TO A MEMORIAL?
NOTHING NEEDED.
NOTHING, BECAUSE THERE SHOULD NOT BE ONE
NOTHING, MEMORIAL FOR THIS IS CRASS.
NOTHING. IT WAS A FALSE FLAGE EVENT.
NOTHING. WHY WOULD ANYONE VISIT THIS MEMORIAL? THAT'S JUST CREEPY
OUR COMMON HUMANITY
OUTRAGE. WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 1. MY SON’S BEST FRIEND WAS KILL THAT
DAY.

SHOULDN’T HAVE ONE
SHOW HOW MUCH BLOOD WAS FLOWN IN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY (FOR EXAMPLE, THE RED
CROSS IN OREGON SENT 600 UNITS OF BLOOD TO VEGAS TO SAVE PEOPLE. SHOW OUR THANKS TO THOSE
PEOPLE WHO DROVE TO THE STRIP AND PICKED UP THE SURVIVORS AND GAVE THEM RIDES, WHO SET-UP
ALTERNATE PLACES TO STAY (CONVENTION CENTER), WHO OPERATED AROUND THE CLOCK FOR FOUR DAYS TO
SAVE PEOPLE.
SORROW

THE VICTIMS NEED MONEY AND HELP GETTING THEIR LIVES ON TRACK NOT SOME PANDERING PUBLIC WASTE
OF MONEY
THERE IS ALREADY A MEMORIAL
THERE SHOULD NOT BE ONE
THERE SHOULDN'T BE A MEMORIAL.
THEY NEED A PLACE WE CAN GO TO BE SAFE AND NOT DOWNTOWN. IT SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY PUT WHERE
THE SHOOTING OCCURRED. I NEVER LIKED THE FACT THAT THEY HAD THE MEMORIAL DOWNTOWN WHERE IT'S
UNSAFE.
THIS IS A WASTE
TO BE AT THE SITE THAT IT HAPPENED
TOO MUCH DRAMA LET IT GO
TOURIST ATTRACTION
TRANQUILITY (X2)
TRANSPARENCY
TRUTH (X2)
UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THIS HAPPENED.
URGENCY TO PASS GUN CONTROL REGS
VEGAS STRONG
VULNERABLE
WASTE OF TIME
WASTED TAXPAYER FUNDS
WE ALL NEED TO UNITE AS AMERICANS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!
WE DON'T NEED A MEMORIAL TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED. WE LIVED IT.
WELL ROUNDING, ALL ENCOMPASSING
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THIS? I WANT TO REMEMBER, AND PAY HOMAGE TO THOSE WHO PERISHED, NOT,
"EXPERIENCE" EMOTIONS! WHAT AN IDIOTIC QUESTION!
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO FROM THE GO FUND ME THAT SISOLAK STARTED AS A COMMISSIONER?
WHERE IS THE MONEY THAT WAS DONATED
WILL NOT VISIT (X2)
YOU REALLY NEED TO JUST LET THIS REST AND BE FORGOTTEN.
YOU WANT ALL THESE FEELINGS AT A MEMORIAL

HOW FAR REACHING THIS TRAGIC EVENT WAS
I AM THINKING AN ENCLOSED (CLIMATE CONTROLLABLE ENVIRONMENT) WITH A MONUMENT OF SOME KIND.
I BELIEVE THE MEMORIAL SHOULD BE AT THE SITE WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS!
I BELIEVE THE MEMORIAL SHOULD BE OUTDOORS, SURROUNDED BY NATURE. IT WAS VERY CALMING AND
RELAXING WHEN WE VISITED.
I DON'T WANT AN ACTIVITY! I WANT IT TO BE A PLACE OF PEACE TO GO AND REFLECT ON WHAT WE WENT
THROUGH AND HONOR THE ONES THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT.
I FEEL THAT COVERING THIS AREA WITH POSITIVE ENERGY AND LOVE IS IMPORTANT, NOT TO HAVE THIS EVENT
AREA TURN INTO AN ABANDONED "GRAVEYARD"
I HAVE BEEN TO FLIGHT 93, OKC MEMORIAL, WTC MEMORIAL. ALL OF THEM ARE BEAUTIFUL IN REMEMBERING
YET QUITE EDUCATIONAL AND EXTREMELY WELL AT KEEPING THESE THINGS SEPARATE. THEY ARE ALL RUN BY
NATIONAL PARKS SERVICE AND A GREAT JOB IN ALL OF THEM. MAYBE WE SHOULD JOIN THE PARKS? BEING ON
SITE GIVES THE AVERAGE VISITOR SPECIAL EMOTIONS TO FEEL THE SPIRIT OF A TRUE LAS VEGAS. THIS
QUESTIONNAIRE IS A GREAT IDEA BUT IT SHOULD BE COUNTRYWIDE, NOT JUST WITHIN OUR OWN CITY. ALL
THESE OTHER MEMORIALS I PERSONALLY HAVE VISITED WERE ATTRIBUTED TO FROM WORLDWIDE
QUESTIONNAIRES.
I LIKE THE DOWNTOWN MEMORIAL. IT HAPPENED MORE ORGANICALLY
I THINK SOMETHING LIKE WHAT THEY DID IN NY FOR 911 MEMORIAL WOULD BE GREAT.
I WANT THE MEMORIAL AT THE ORIGINAL SIGHT
I WANT THE SITE RESTORED TO WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE WHITE COLONISTS ARRIVED.
I WANT TO FEEL LIKE I’M WALKING INTO A GREAT CATHEDRAL
IF NOT LOCATED AT THE EVENT LOCATION, IT SHOULD BE LOCATED CLOSE TO IT. ALLOWING OTHERS TO USE
THE SPACE FOR MORE EVENTS, SHOWING THAT AS A COMMUNITY WE WEREN'T SCARED AWAY FROM THE
LOCATION. BUT CLOSE ENOUGH THAT IT CAN BE WALKED TO FROM THE ORIGINAL LOCATION.
IF POSSIBLE PUT MONUMENTS ON LAS VEGAS BLVD AT EITHER CORNER
IF YOU RECOGNIZE HERO'S DO NOT LIMIT IT TO POLICE, FIRE, EMS, AND HOSPITALS, CORONER MEDICAL
EXAMINER. MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THOSE OTHER AGENCIES REPRESENTED THROUGH THE COUNTY EOC SUCH
AS PUBLIC HEALTH AND SNHD
ILLUSTRATE STEPS A PERSON CAN TAKE TO PREVENT AN EVENT LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
IMPORTANCE AND VISIBILITY
IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP
IN ACCORDANCE WITH VICTIMS FAMILIES AND SURVIVORS’ WISHES
INCLUDE ORANGE AN PURPLE
INCLUDING THE WOODEN CROSSES MADE BY GREG ZANIS
INCORPORATE THE NUMBER 58, 1 OCT 2017, MEMORIALIZE THE ATTENDED NOT THE SHOOTER, SUBTLE BUT
MEANINGFUL ATTRIBUTES LIKE THE PENTAGON 911 MEMORIAL (BENCHES FOR PASSENGERS FACE THE
DIRECTION OF PLANE APPROACHING AND BENCHES FOR PENTAGON CASUALTIES FACE PENTAGON)
INCORPORATES ROUTE 91 COLORS OF ORANGE AND PURPLE
INDIVIDUAL REPRESENTATIONS
INFORMATION ABOUT SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS - IF THEIR FAMILIES APPROVE
INSTEAD OF SPLITTING UP WHERE WE MEMORIALIZE THOSE LOST, FIND A WAY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
34
CURRENT MEMORIAL ON CASINO CENTER OR EXPAND ON THE MEMORIAL IN THAT AREA.
INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY CREATING MEMORIALS AND ACTING LIKE YOU CARE DEEPLY. WHY DON'T YOU
USE THAT MONEY TO HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED IT.
IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON
IT MENTIONS THE EFFECT IT HAD MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY THAT THE SHOOTING HAD ON LAS VEGANS
NOT AT THE EVENT
IT MUST INCORPORATE THE VEGAS STRONG HASHTAG THAT UNITED NOT ONLY THIS CITY, BUT THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
IT SHOULD BE A PLACE SO PEACEFUL REMEMBRANCE FOR THOSE INJURED AND KILLED AT THE EVENT SITE. IT
SHOULD BE ON THE SITE AND THE SITE SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
IT SHOULD INVOLVE THE GENTLEMAN THAT MADE ALL THE CROSSES BY THE WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS SIGN.
IT SHOULD MEMORIALIZE AND HONOR THE EVENT AND THE VICTIMS ONLY; NO ONE NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED
ON THE ISSUE OF MASS CAUSALITIES...EVERYONE IN AMERICA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE
IT SHOULD SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE.
IT’ NEEDS TO BE AT THE FESTIVAL GROUNDS! IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO WERE ACTUALLY
INVOLVED. I ALSO BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE OPEN AT ALL TIMES FOR THOSE AS WELL AND THEIR LOVED ONES.
JUST HONOR VICTIMS, SURVIVORS AND RESPONDERS
JUST MAKE SURE THERE'S NO POLARIZING "BLUE STRIPE" IMAGERY.
KEEP 58STRONG, HONOR58
KEEP ALL POLITICS OUT OF THIS, NO HIDDEN AGENDAS
KEEP IT SIMPLE & SOLEMN
KEEPING IT CLEAN WITHOUT OUT VAGRANTS
KINDNESS
LARGE NATURAL GREEN SPACE
LEAVE THE POLITICS OF GUN CONTROL/RIGHTS OUT OF IT.
LEAVING OUT POLITICAL AGENDAS
LET IT BE JUST THAT, A MEMORIAL SITE.
LET'S MOVE FORWARD. MINIMIZE THE MEMORIAL.
LIST THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO DIED IN AND RESPONDING TO THE EVENT
LISTING THE SHOOTER BY THE WORD SHOOTER OR TERRORIST WHILE ENSURING HIS NAME IS NOT LISTED
LOOKING TO FUTURE WITH LOVE, PEACE AND HUMILITY FOR ALL. ALL LIVES MATTER!!!
LOTS OF SHADE AND PLACES TO SIT.
MAGNITUDE AND SCALE (NOT A TINY PLAQUE)
MAINTAINED BY THE CITY/COUNTY
MAKE IT CLASSY NOT CHEAP!!
MAYBE A PLAQUE FOR VICTIMS STATING SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT EACH ONE LOST
MEMORIAL NEEDS TO BE BIG IT IS VEGAS!
MEMORIAL XERISCAPE GARDEN
MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION
MOJAVE PLANTS
MONUMENT, 60 LIGHTS AND 60 FOUNTAINS
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IS IT SOMETHING THE VICTIMS WANT? IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT I WANT IT SHOULD
BE WHAT THEY WANT.
MULTI-SENATORIAL EXPERIENCE (VISUAL, MUSIC, TACTILE)
MUSIC MAY BE NICE BUT COULD BE HARD TOO
35
MUSICAL COMPONENT TO SHOWCASE WHY COMMUNITY WAS THERE
MUST BE AT THE EVENT SITE LOCATION WHERE THE DEATHS OCCURRED
MUST BE LOCATED AT THE EVENT SITE
N/A - NO MEMORIALS, LET THE VICTIMS REST IN PEACE.
NAMES OF ALL VICTIMS WHOSE LIVES WERE LOST ON A DEDICATED WALL
NAMES OF THE VICTIMS
NAMES OF THOSE WHO DID NOT SURVIVE.
NAMES OF THOSE WHO WERE KILLED.
NAMES OF VICTIMS
NAMES ON A PARKING GARAGE AND A LOCATION FOR PEOPLE TO GO LEAVE MEMENTOS ON TOP WOULD BE
AN INTERESTING IDEA. EVERY EVENT PEOPLE WILL SEE WE MOVED FORWARD INSTEAD OF LETTING SOME
COWARD TAKE AWAY OUR LIFE.
NAMES/PICTURES OF THE VICTIMS
NARROW FOCUS ON THE TRAGEDY OF THE EVENT AND THE LIVES LOST -- NOTHING ELSE.
NEED TO HAVE A CONSTANT FLOWING OF WATER
NEVER FORGET
NO MENTION OF THE KILLER FOR THE PURPOSE OF NOT GLORIFYING OR IMMORTALIZING THEIR LEGACY, AND
TO HELP PREVENT INSPIRATION OF THE THOUGHT TO BE IMMORTALIZED WITH HORRENDOUS ACTS OF
TERRORISM
NO MENTION OF THE SHOOTER.
NO MENTION OF THE SHOOTERS NAME, OR HIS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. OR ANYTHING THAT DROVE HIM TO
CAUSE THIS MASSACRE.
NO POLITICAL RHETORIC
NO POLITICAL STATEMENTS! NO ANTI-GUN RHETORIC
NO RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION
NON AVOIDANCE OF AREA
NON POLITICAL
NON POLITICAL
NONE NOTHING NO MONUMENT
NONE OF THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY. THE PEOPLE KILLED ON OCT 1 ARE NO BETTER THAN
PEOPLE WHO DIE EVERYDAY.
NON-POLITICAL
NOT A PLACE FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE TO HANG OUT/LIVE
NOT BE REPRESENTATIONAL (REALISTIC) ART.
NOT INCLUDING THE PERPETRATOR OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM.
NOT NEAR THE VEGAS SIGN
NOT ONLY WERE 58 PEOPLE KILLED BUT HUNDREDS SEVERELY WOUNDED AND THOUSANDS STILL SUFFERING
FROM MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. SOME FORM OF EDUCATION OR RECOGNITION FOR THE SURVIVORS STILL
STRUGGLING WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO SEE.
NOT TO BE REMOVE OR ALTERED IN THE FUTURE LIKE OTHER HISTORICAL ICONS. I.E. NAME CHANGING LIKE
MCCARRAN AIRPORT, REBEL
NOT TO FOCUS ON GUN CONTROL. THIS IS ABOUT THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS, NOT THE SHOOTER
NOTHING POLITICAL. NO STANCE ABOUT GUNS NO STANCE ON POLITICIANS. WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE INPUT ON
THIS MEMORIAL. PLEASE NO POLITICAL MESSAGES.
NRA SAFETY EDUC. BOOTH
OPEN 24/7

PLEASE DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF THE MURDER OF COUNT HIM AS A LIFE LOST OR HAVE INFO ABOUT HIS LIFE
OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM
PLEASE DON'T PUT UP A MEMORIAL
PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT POLITICAL OR ABOUT GUNS OR AGENDAS. THIS NEEDS TO UNITE PEOPLE. KEEP
IT BOUT REMEMBERING THOSE WE LOST, AND ABOUT HOW WE CAME TOGETHER. DON'T MAKE IT DIVISIVE
POINTING OUT THE HAZARDS OF GUN FREE ZONES
PREVENTION OF VANDALISM OR THEFT
PRIVACY
QUIET AND PEACEFUL.
RAISING AWARENESS TO RADICAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY. WE MUST EXPOSE WHAT
CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS MIGHT NOT BE A POPULAR SUGGESTION. AND IT WILL RUFFLE FEATHERS. BUT
WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS HAS TO BE ROOTED OUT OF OUR CULTURE ONCE AND FOR ALL. IF
THEY ARE OFFENDED BY EXPOSING WHITE SUPREMACY AND PRIVILEGE, THEN THAT MEANS THEY HAVE TO
WORK ON THINGS INSIDE OF THEMSELVES. WE MUST ROOT OUT THE PREJUDICES THAT LEAD TO RACISM
AND/OR SUPPORTING THE STATUS QUO,: WHICH RESULTS IN SUPPORTING SYSTEMIC RACISM MASKED BY
CLASSISM. WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND FASCISM
(WHITE SUPREMACY). WE MUST SEPARATE THE WHITE COMMUNITY FROM THIS DOMESTIC RADICAL
TERRORIST MOVEMENT TRUMP HAS BOLSTERED. THE FASCIST NAZIS THAT SUPPORT TRUMP NEED TO REALIZE
THEY ARE ALL ALONE AND HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY...:IF FOLKS WANT TO SUPPORT TRUMP THAT’S UP
TO THEM. BUT WE AT LEAST NEED THE “GOOD TRUMP SUPPORTERS” TO SEE CLEARLY, HOW A FASCIST NAZI
MOVEMENT HAS GRAFTED THEMSELVES INTO THE GOP AND PROPPED THEMSELVES UP AS CHRISTIANS. THIS IS
NECESSARY FOR CHRISTIANS, WHITE PEOPLE, AND THE REST OF OUR NATION TO UNDERSTAND. THIS SHOULD
ALSO HELP ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR TRUMP. TO SEE THE TRUTH. AND HOPEFULLY TO REPENT OF
THEIR SINS
RECOGNITION OF THOSE WHO ACTED LIKE BUS DRIVERS, EMTS, POLICE, ETC.
RECOGNITION OF VICTIMS (NAMES, PHOTOS) AND AREA FOR SURVIVORS TO POST PHOTOS, MEMENTOS, IF
THEY WISH.
RECOGNIZE EVENT IMPACTED PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, NOT JUST USA.

38
THERE SHOULD NOT BE ONE!
THERE SHOULD NOT BE ONE!
THEY SHOULD BE TWO MEMORIALS ONE IN LOBBY OF THE HOTEL AND A BIGGER ONE AT THE EVENT SITE BOTH
ARE LINKED TO 1 OCTOBER
THERE SHOULD BE A VIDEO WALL WHERE SURVIVOR CAN FIND SURVIVOR, I STILL LOOKING FOR PEOPLE I
CARRIED OUT THAT NIGHT
THIS IS A NOTE TO THE INTERACTIVE PORTION. IT IS SOMETIMES GOOD TO GET THE FULL PICTURE. AN EXAMPLE
WOULD BE TO DESCRIBE WHERE THE READER SHOULD LOOK TO SEE WHERE THE SHOOTER WAS LOCATED.
THIS IS UNNECESSARY AND NOT HELPFUL
THIS MUST NOT BECOME JUST ANOTHER TOURIST ATTRACTION AND MUST NOT PROFIT OFF THE PAIN OF
SURVIVORS AND FAMILIES OF PEOPLE WHO DIED ON OCT 1.
THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE VERY OPEN. WITH A LOT OF ENTRANCES AND EXITS. MORE SYMBOLISM THE BETTER. A
PILLAR FOR EACH LIFE LOST.
TIME TO MOVE ON AND STOP DWELLING ON IT!
TO ALLOW VISITORS TO CONNECT TO THE VICTIMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE USING NARRATION AND VISUAL
STIMULUS.
TO FEEL SAFE
TO NOT MENTION THE SHOOTER BY NAME.
TRIBUTE TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL
UPKEEP
UPLIFTING
VERIFICATION OF THE SHOOTING IS IMPORTANT SO THAT IT IS NOT DEEMED A HOAX BY CONSPIRATORIAL,
UNEDUCATED, NONSENSICAL THEORISTS
VICTIM BIOGRAPHIES
VICTIMS NAMES/PHOTOS
VIDEO VISUALS OF WHAT HAPPENED
VISIBLE TO 40 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR
VISITORS GAIN A SENSE OF WHO THE VICTIMS WERE
VISITORS SHOULD FORMULATE THEIR OWN MEANING.
WATER FOUNTAIN AND GREENERY
WE AS SURVIVORS MUST LIVE WITH EVERLASTING EMOTIONAL PAIN FROM, AND MEMORY OF, THAT TRAGIC
NIGHT THAT HAS FOREVER CHANGED OUR LIVES. IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO REMIND OTHERS THAT WE
CONTINUE TO CARRY THIS PAIN AND TRAGIC MEMORY, THE NIGHTMARES STILL COME AND WE ARE UNABLE TO
FORGET, SO TO RELAY TO PLEASE REMEMBER CONTINUED COMPASSION EVEN WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT KEEPING AUTOMATED WAR WEAPONS OUT OF THE HANDS OF
MURDERS?
WHERE TO SEEK HELP IF PERSON IS FEELING MENTALLY UNSTABLE, DEPRESSED, ETC.
WHY CALL IT THE 1 OCT THAT HAS NO TYPE OF REVERENCE IT SHOULD BE CALLED THE MANDALAY BAY
MASSACRES. OR THE MGM MASSACRE. IT’S FITTING USING THE DATE IS WEEK AND UN FACTUAL ABOUT THE
MASSACRE
WRITE UPS ABOUT EACH PERSON WHO LOST THEIR LIFE
OTHER SUGGESTIONS RATED AS VERY IMPORTANT

A PLACE TO HONOR THOSE WHO ATTENDED AND HELPED VICTIMS GET HELP
A PLACE TO RELAX AND RECHARGE
A PLAQUE WITH VICTIM NAMES IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN MY OPINION.
39
A QUIET SPOT TO SIT AND REFLECT
A STAGE FOR LOCAL PERFORMERS
ADDRESS TRAUMA THAT RESULTS FROM GUN VIOLENCE
ALSO HONOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND SURVIVORS
ARTIFICIAL VIGIL DISPLAY, IE. LIVE ELECTRONIC BOARD.
AS LONG AS THEY DON'T CREATE LITTER
CONNECTION; BUT HOW TO DEFINE IT?
CONSIDER THE LOCATION AND IMPACT OF THE MEMORIAL OVER TIME - 5, 10, 15 YEARS.
COUNTRY MUSIC
COUNTRY MUSIC THEMED
DO IT THE LAS VEGAS WAY!
DO NOT POLITICIZE OR PROMOTE A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
EASY OF ACCESS, SPECIFICALLY PARKING

HONOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
HOPEFUL
I THINK A PLACE TO PAY RESPECT WITHOUT ALL THE DETAIL IS BEST. WE WILL NOT FORGET WHAT HAPPENED
BUT MUST WE RELIVE IT EVERY VISIT?
ICONIC APPEAL
IS IT POSSIBLE TO PLAY MUSIC AT THE SIGHT? CHRIS STAPLETON AND ERIC CHURCH AND OTHERS HAVE
WRITTEN BEAUTIFUL SONGS IN HONOR OF THE VICTIMS.
LIST NAMES AND AGES OF THOSE WHO DIED. ALSO LIST THOSE WHO SURVIVED IF KNOWN.
NEEDS TO BE PURPLE AND ORANGE

SEPARATE SECTIONS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SURVIVORS AND TO HONORING THE VICTIMS. SOME OF THE

SHOULD NOT BE OVER THE TOP EXTREME, SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE WITH A TRIBUTE.

THE ART OF EXPLOIT A TRAGEDY
TREES AND A GARDEN SMALL ART WORK.... SPEND THE MONEY ON A GARDEN. NOT AND LOCATION NOT ART
WORK
USE OF METALS FOR COLOR & DURABILITY LIKE BRONZE, TITANIUM, SILVER, GOLD PLATING, PLATINUM. THIS

A SINGLE SCULPTURE OR SIMILAR ARTWORK WOULD BE NICE NEAR THE ACTUAL SITE ON THE

IF YOU WANT TO PUT SOME SORT OF GUN SAFETY AND GUN LAW SUPPORT DISPLAY I COULD BE CONVINCED IT
ISN'T A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME BUT I DOUBT YOU'D DO IT.
JUST LET THEM FORGET AND MOVE ON.

21 GUN SALUTE
A FEATURE THAT REMINDS US OF THE BRAVERY SHOWN BY COMPLETE STRANGERS.
A MEMORIAL DOES NOTHING TO HELP STOP MASS CASUALTY VIOLENCE.
A PARK WOULD BE LOVELY. THAT WAY, FRIENDS, FAMILY, VISITORS CAN GATHER, REMEMBER, CELEBRATE LIFE,
HEAL AND LIVE MORE IN THE MOMENT.
A PLACE FOR HEALING AND STRENGTH
A PLACE TO GATHER AN SHOW RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES.
A PLACE TO HONOR THOSE LOST AFTER THE FACT
A PLACE TO PRAY
A SAFE PLACE TO MOURN AND HONOR.
41
A SAFE SOLEMN PLACE TO MOURN AND REMEMBER THOSE THAT WERE LOST. A PLACE TO FIND PEACE.
ABILITY TO SEE THE NAMES OF THE VICTIMS
ABILITY TO WALK AROUND THRU SITE WITHOUT FEAR
ADDRESS THE EQUALLY MASSIVE RESPONSE OF OUR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND THE COMMUNITY TO
SUPPORT THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AFFECTS OF PTSD
AGES FROM MAYBE 12 UP MY OPINION
ALL TEDDY BEARS ETC, SHOULD BE DESTROYED. THIS IS JUST “NOISE”. IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND PEACEFUL.
AMPLE PARKING AND SECURITY
AN ONGOING UPDATE ON LEGISLATION TO STOP MASS GUN VIOLENCE
ANY TYPE OF DESTRUCTION TOWARDS OR TO THE MEMORIAL SITE SHOULD BE SITED AS A FELONY.
AREA OF REFLECTION
AWAY FROM THE STRIP
BE GOOD IF THERE WERE LIGHTS OR DANCING WATERS, FOR PEOPLE TO RELAX AND ENJOY.
BEING ABLE TO SIT AND VISIT, FEEL ABLE TO SPEND TIME TO SPEAK WITH LOST LOVED ONES. A PARK WOULD BE
AMAZING
BENEFICIAL TO ALL.
BLAH BLAH BLAH SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE ALREADY. WASTING TAX PAYERS DOLLARS. THE CITY HAD ONE
BUILT IMMEDIATELY. WHAT’S THE HOLD UP? TYPICAL. COME ON.
BRASS PLAQUE WITH ALL THE NAMES OF THE DECEASED IF THEIR FAMILIES ARE OK WITH IT. AND CONTACT
THE SURVIVORS AND SEE WHAT THEY WANT DONE.

COMMEMORATE THE LIVES OF VICTIMS NOT THEIR DEATHS. INCLUDE A SECTION FOR INJURED SURVIVORS.

VICTIMS.

DIGNITY AND RESPECT TO THOSE LIVES LOST, FOCUS ON THE VICTIMS RATHER THAN THE PERPETRATOR
DIGNITY IN ALL THAT IS CREATED.
DISCUSSES THE ACTS OF SELFLESSNESS AND BRAVERY THE VICTIMS PERFORMED
DISPLAY OF ITEMS LEFT FOR THE VICTIMS/SURVIVORS SHOULD BE DISPLAYED.
DO NOT LET MGM PUSH YOU OVER ON THIS SITE - THIS IS VERY VALUABLE PROPERTY BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE
USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT A MEMORIAL SITE FOR THIS HORRIFIC EVENT.
DOES NOT REMIND PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT ON THEIR VACATION
DON’T COMMERCIALIZE OR POLITICIZE THIS. IT’S NOT A TOURIST ATTRACTION. IT SHOULD BE A MEMORIAL OF
VICTIMS. THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL SAY.
DON’T LIE
DON’T TURN THIS TO ANTI-GUN PLATFORM
DONE BY A LOCAL ARTIST
DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER. THE HORRIBLE ACTIONS OF ONE PERSON CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. NO SENSE
IN REHASHING IT.
EDUCATE THE TRUTH BEHIND THE EVENT.
EDUCATION ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY.
42
EDUCATION AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF MASS CASUALTY VIOLENCE IS GOOD AS LONG AS IT IS NOT
POLITICAL- GUN/ANTI-GUN ETC OR PROBLEMS WITH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. IT'S HELPFUL TO STICK TO THE
KNOWN FACTS.
EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT MENTAL HEALTH IS IMPORTANT
EMPHASIZING THE UNITY AND LOVE THAT THE EVENT IN GENDERED IN PEOPLE.
ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH “COUNTRY” IN THE DISPLAY BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER.
THIS UNIFIES US.
EXPRESSIONS OF US ON OUR WAY OUT
FESTIVAL COLORS OF PURPLE AND ORANGE
FIRST RESPONDERS MEMORIAL
FLOWER GARDEN OR SANCTUARY THAT PEOPLE CAN MOVE THRU OR HAVE LUNCH IN AS THEY WALK THE
STRIP. TONS OF RECYCLING BINS, INCLUDING RECLAIMED WATER IF POSSIBLE.
FOCUS ON RT FAMILY
FOR ALL VICTIMS, NOT JUST 10/1
FOR WEEKS ON END WE ALL REMEMBER THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND SUPPORT THROUGH FLOWERS AND
BOUQUETS. FOR THOSE WHO LOST LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS, WE WANT A PUBLIC MEMORIAL TO HONOR
THOSE WE LOST.

HIGHLIGHT THE RESILIENCY AND UNITY OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT PRO OR CON ANY ISSUE LIKE GUN CONTROL
THAT ONLY DIVIDES OUR COMMUNITY.
HONOR 58
HONOR OUR 58 ANGELS
HONOR OUR COMMUNITY STRENGTH DEMONSTRATED IN THE DAYS, WEEKS, AND MONTHS FOLLOWING
HONOR THE 58 ANGELS
HONOR THE 58.
HONOR VICTIMS, SURVIVORS, POLICE, AND FIRST RESPONDERS. NOT THE PLACE TO EDUCATE VIOLENCE!
HONORING ALL HEROES
HONORING THE 58 WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ALONG WITH HONORING ALL THE SURVIVORS OF THAT NIGHT
HONORING THE LIVES LOST AND THE SURVIVING VICTIMS
HONORING THE SURVIVORS AS WELL AS THOSE WE LOST
HORRIBLE PLAN
I DON’T THINK IT SHOULD BE HIGHLY VISIBLE TO TOURISTS. THEY DON’T NEED A REMAINDER OF THE KILLINGS
THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE STRIP.
I DON’T THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE EVENT AS MUCH AS THE HEALING AND IT SHOULD NOT BE
SOMETHING TOURISTS SEE WHEN THEY DRIVE IN TOWN... IT NEEDS A QUIET PLACE TO REST
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A MEMORIAL SCULPTURE IT ENCOURAGES SICK PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE
NOTICED THERE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SCULPTURE MADE BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THEY DID. IT ONLY
MAKES OTHERS SAD ESPECIALLY FAMILY OF VICTIMS. IT LIKE HERE IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF HOW
HORRIFIC THE WAY YOUR LOVE ONE WAS GUNNED DOWN AND MURDERED. TO ME I THINK IT’S NICE THAT
YOU’RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING BUT TO THE PERSON THAT CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA HAVE A LOVE ONE DIE
PERSONALLY? IF SO DO THE SCULPTOR IF IT HELPS YOU IF NOT DO A COUNSELING GROUP OR SOMETHING BAKE
43
COOKIES DON’T KEEP BRINGING FAME TO THESE PSYCHO SHOOTERS IF THEY GET NO ATTENTION THEY WON’T
DO IT
I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A PARK WHERE PEOPLE CAN GATHER AND REFLECT.
I FEEL THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE HEALING GARDEN FOR LEAVING MEMENTOS. I COULD POSSIBLY SEE
PEOPLE LEAVING FLOWERS OR CANDLES ON THE ANNIVERSARY THAT WOULD BE REMOVED AFTER A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME BUT NOT YEAR ROUND. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL
MAINTAINED.
I HOPE THERE IS NOT A PLACE TO LEAVE MEMENTOS, CREATES SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO ATTEND
TO AND DECIDE ABOUT. JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA SO PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE. THANK YOU.
I HOPE THEY DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DIVISIVE POLITICAL ISSUE, I.E., GUN-CONTROL ETC. JUST RESPECT THE
VICTIMS.
I THINK IT COULD BE GOOD TO THINK OF A WORLD WITHOUT THE NEED FOR THESE TYPES OF WEAPONS
NEEDED...AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW....MAYBE IT’S A FANTASY TO THINK THIS WAY BUT GIVES US SOMETHING
BETTER TO THINK.
I THINK THAT PLANTS AND TREES ARE IMPORTANT TO CREATE A SENSE OF TRANQUILITY AND INVITE PEOPLE TO
SIT AND REFLECT
I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SPOT WHERE PEOPLE CAN SHARE THEIR STORIES WHETHER IT’S A KIOSK OF
IPADS TO TYPE STORIES OR A BOOTH WHERE YOU CAN RECORD YOUR STORY AS A SURVIVOR, FIRST
RESPONDER, RESIDENT, OR TO HONOR SOMEONE WHO HASN’T BEEN MENTIONED
I THINK THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN LIFE THAT YOUNG CHILDREN CANNOT (AND SHOULD NOT)
UNDERSTAND. A MEMORIAL WON'T REALLY BE FOR THEM, AS THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE
MAGNITUDE, IMPORTANCE, OR SOLEMNITY OF THE SITUATION.
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A FOUNTAIN AND STATUES
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A MEMORIAL. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER ONE?
I WANT IT TO SHOW THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD AT THE CONCERT PRIOR TO THE EVENT. THE LAUGHTER AND
DANCING. THE MUSICIANS. NOT JUST THE SADNESS DEATH LOSS FEAR
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE 58 WHO NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO GO HOME ACKNOWLEDGED. UNFORTUNATELY
MORE HAVE PASSED SINCE THEN BUT THAT NUMBER WILL INCREASE OVER TIME. IN MY MIND, WE'VE LOST
58+
I WOULD LOOK AT THE MEMORIAL AS A PLACE FOR SOMBER CONTEMPLATION AND REMEMBRANCE, NOT A
TOURIST FEATURE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO BE STIMULATED BY INTERACTIVE FEATURES OR ARTISTIC WORKS OR
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. IT IS COMMUNITY GRAVE MARKER OF SORTS, NOT A MUSEUM.
IF EDUCATING ON THE “EVENT” IT’S IMPERATIVE TO TELL THE COMPLETE TRUTH.
IF POSSIBLE, HAVE A SERENE/PEACEFUL ELEMENT SUCH AS FOUNTAINS/WATERFALL/LAKE WITH DUCKS. I PUT
THE 'LEAVING MEMENTOS' LOW SO IT DOESN'T GET CLUTTERED, BUT IF THERE IS A SPECIFIC AREA FOR
MEMENTOS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
IMPORTANCE OF STRICTER GUN LAWS
IMPORTANT TO KEY IN ON THE SELFLESS ACTS OF KINDNESS.
INCLUDE THE NAMES OF THOSE THAT PASSED AWAY THAT EVENING AND THOSE THAT WERE PHYSICALLY SHOT
SOMEWHERE IN THE MEMORIAL. THIS WAS THE LARGEST MASS SHOOTING IN HISTORY AND THEY DESERVE TO
BE HONORED.
INCLUSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL
INCORPORATE THE PURPLE AND ORANGE
INDIVIDUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR THE DECEASED
IS THIS GOING TO BE FUNDED BY THE $30M + SISOLAK STOLE FROM THE GOFUND ME THE CROOK SET UP?
IT NEEDS TO BE MORE THAN A PLAQUE ON THE WALL BUT NOT MORE THAN A BUS SHELTER IN SIZE AND BULK.
WE SHOULD CONSIDER INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TOO.
IT SHOULD BE ROUTE 91, NOT THE 1 OCTOBER MEMORIAL. MY DAUGHTER ATTENDED AND DIED AT THE ROUTE
91 HARVEST FESTIVAL. ALSO IT SHOULD SPECIFY 58 VICTIMS. THOSE 58 NEVER GOT TO COME HOME. ALWAYS
58.
44
IT SHOULD HONOR ALL VICTIMS, NOT JUST THE 58 WHO DIED THAT NIGHT BUT ALL WHO DIED.
IT SHOULD NOT BE POLITICAL OR TO SUPPORT ANYONE'S POLITICAL AGENDA. IT SHOULD NOT EXPLOIT ONE'S
EMOTIONS. LT SHOULD NOT BE IN PLACE TO INFLUENCE A PERSON'S BELIEF OR VALUES. IT NEEDS TO BE
NEUTRAL BUT IN RESPECT OF FAMILIES WHO LOST SOMEONE AND TO HONOR THOSE WHO WERE SELFLESS
AND RISKED THEMSELVES FOR OTHERS.
IT’S A BAD MEMORY. NO REASON TO KEEP IT ALIVE
IT’S IMPORTANT TO HONOR THOSE LIVES WHO WERE LOSS.
JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE COMFORTABLE WHERE IT’S PUT SO THEY CAN GO.
DOWNTOWN WAS HORRIBLE WITH THE HOMELESS I’M SORRY TO SAY. I ONLY WENT ONCE CAUSE OF IT.
JUST DON'T FORGET!
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND EMPHASIZE HOW QUICKLY YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE THOUGHT-PROVOKING
LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF IT.
LEAVING SIGNATURES OF WHOSE LIVES IT CHANGED FOREVER.
LIST NAMES OF THOSE KILLED
LIST THE NAMES OF THE LIVES LOST

MEMORABILIA, COMPRESSES DISPLAYED. PHOTOS
MEMORIAL CAN NOT BE PLACED ON THE FESTIVAL GROUNDS OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE "WELCOME TO LAS
VEGAS" SIGN, WHAT HAS TURNED INTO A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION.
MEMORIALIZE THE HOSPITALS, LEO, EMS AND FIRE PERSONNEL WHO'S ACTIONS SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES
MEMORIALIZING THE VICTIMS THAT PASSED AFTER OCTOBER 1ST DUE TO THEIR INJURIES THAT THEY
SUCCUMBED TO.
MESSAGE OF HEALING
MONEY SHOULD BE ALLOCATED FOR THE VICTIMS AND FAMILIES. SPENDING MILLIONS ON SOME STUPID ART
WOULD BE A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE AFTER LOSING A HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD OR
UNABLE TO WORK. PLEASE REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED MONETARY HELP AS THEY REMEMBER
QUITE CLEARLY WHAT HAPPENED AND LIVE WITH IT DAY TO DAY. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE 33 MILLION WE ALL
DONATED TO THE GOFUNDME WAS STOLEN BY GOVERNOR SISOLAK. PERHAPS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THAT
WOULD BE MUCH MORE HELPFUL AND HONORABLE THAN AN EXPENSIVE ART PROJECT OR STATUE.
MUST BE PROTECTED FROM VANDALS
NAME PLAQUES
NAMES OF THE INDIVIDUALS KILLED
NAMES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES WITH A PICTURE TO HONOR THEM
NAMES OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIED THERE THE DAY BE DISPLAYED RESPECTFULLY
NAMES OF THOSE WE LOST. NAMES OF THOSE WHO HELPED OTHERS
NAMES OF THOSE WHO DIED BECAUSE OF THIS SHOOTING
NAMES OF VICTIMS
NAMES WALL
NATURE: TREES, FLOWERS
NEEDS TO BE AT THE SITE WE EXPERIENCED THE SHOOTING AT
NONE OF THIS IS AT ALL IMPORTANT YOU DID NOT GIVE THAT CHOICE
NOT POLITELY VIEWS OF SECOND AMENDMENT
45
PAY RESPECT TO THE VICTIMS. A PLACE FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO VISIT. ALSO, REMEMBER VEGAS
HISTORY.
PEACE
PEACE & LOVE
PEOPLE STRUGGLING MENTALLY WITH THIS TRAGEDY DO NOT NEED TO BE REMINDED. PLUS NOTHING IS
REALLY PERMANENT IN LAS VEGAS SO WHY WASTE TAXPAYER MONEY
PERSONALIZE EACH VICTIM
PHOTO OF EVERY PERSON
PICTURES OF THE DEPARTED
PLACE TO SIT AND REFLECT
PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT POLITICAL
PLEASE ONLY HONOR THE 58 THAT NEVER MADE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. “58” ONLY! FOR THREE YEAR THEY
WERE COUNTING THE SHOOTER AS NUMBER 59! DON’T ADD TO THE NUMBER SAYING IT’S NOW 60! MORE
HAVE DIED IN LAST THREE YEARS
PLEASE ONLY HONOR THE 58 WHO NEVER MADE IT HOME. DON’T INCLUDE PEOPLE FROM 3 YEARS LATER THAT
SAW FAMILY EVERYDAY! THAT’S SUCH A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE 58 AND FAMILIES! I
PERSONALLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE I’M A SURVIVOR AND I KNOW FAMILIES THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING TO
HAVE HAD 3 MORE YEARS WITH THEIR LOVED ONE THAT WAS KILLED THAT NIGHT AT ROUTE 91 FESTIVAL
(10/1/17) I CAN’T STAND THE TERM 1 OCTOBER
PLEASE TAKE INCONSIDERATION THAT 58 DIED THAT NIGHT NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED YEARS LATER
AND ADDING PEOPLE TO CHANGE THE STORY AGAIN
PLEASE USE THE VERY DEAR TO PUT HEART NUMBER “58” THROUGHOUT THE MEMORIAL
PUBLIC MONEY SHOULDN'T BE USED FOR THIS.
RE: LEAVING MEMENTOS BEHIND. WE INDICATED NOT AT ALL IMPORTANT BUT WE WANT TO SAY VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT THAT IT IS CLEARLY STATED THAT “NO ITEMS ARE TO BE LEFT BEHIND”. PICTURES WE HAVE SEEN
OF THE MEMORY TREE OF OUR DAUGHTER WHO WAS KILLED, WITH THE TRINKETS, ITEMS PERSONAL ONLY TO
THE COMPLETE STRANGE WHO LEFT THEM, MEMENTOS WE DIDN’T LIKE, ETC, OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS
HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF GRIEF. IT WAS ALL TOO FESTIVE AND BUSY LOOKING. WE CAN’T TELL YOU ENOUGH
TIMES HOW UPSET WE HAVE BEEN WHEN WE SEE THE CONSTANT, “WE LOVE LAS VEGAS” OR “VEGAS STRONG”
SLOGANS ARE SITTING RIGHT BESIDE SOMETHING TO BE HONORING OUR DAUGHTER. THIS IS ALWAYS VERY
HURTFUL TO US. KEEP THE MEMORIAL FREE OF ANY ART/SAYINGS/ETC, IT SHOULD ALL BE VERY NEUTRAL. IF
EACH VICTIM’S NAME IS ENGRAVED ONTO GRANITE SQUARES, WE SEE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR
FAMILY TO CHOOSE ONE OR TWO INSIGNIAS TO ALSO BE ENGRAVED, THEIR CHOICE, COULD BE MILITARY
INSIGNIA, RELIGIOUS INSIGNIA, COUNTRY FLAG, SOMETHING NEAR AND DEAR TO THE FAMILY. EACH TILE CAN
BE INDIVIDUAL AND UNIQUE TO THE VICTIM. WE KNOW FOR OUR DAUGHTER WE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE
CANADIAN FLAG ENGRAVED ALONG WITH SOMETHING ELSE BESIDE HER NAME. WE HOPE WHAT WE ARE
TRYING TO SAY HERE IS MAKING SENSE.
RECOGNIZING THE VICTIMS
REFLECTING THE DIVERSITY OF THOSE IMPACTED
REGULAR CITIZENS, FIRST RESPONDERS, DOCTORS NURSES EVERYONE STEPPED UP THAT NEEDS TO BE THE
FOCUS ALONG WITH THE TRAGEDY OF INNOCENT LIVES LOST.
REMEMBER THE VICTIMS
REMEMBERING THE 58
REMEMBRANCE
REMINDERS OF THE FRAILTY OF LIFE
RESEARCH THE OTHER TYPES OF MEMORIALS THAT HAVE BEEN ERECTED AND IMPROVE THEM.
RESPECT TO ALL LIVES LOST BUT ALSO A TRIBUTE TO ALL SURVIVORS AND THE BATTLE THEY HAVE BEEN
THROUGH AND ARE STILL BATTLING.
RESPECT TO THOSE LOST AND HURT
46
RESPECTFULNESS COMMUNITY ORIENTED, NOT TREATED WITH MUSEUM KID GLOVES OR SHAMELESS HORROR
ATTENTION GETTERS
RESPECTS THE RESPONSE OF FIRST RESPONDERS LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ORDINARY CITIZENS AND
HEALTHCARE WORKERS THAT STEPPED IN TO HELP
ROUTE 91 COLORS, ORANGE & PURPLE
SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE THINGS FOR OUR LOST LOVED ONES. TOO MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM THE
CURRENT GARDEN.
SAFETY
SEATING/BENCH FOR FAMILY MEMBERS, LOTS OF FLOWERS, WATER FEATURE, PICTURE AND STORY OF EACH
PERSON
SENSE OF LOSS
SHOULD BASE COLORS AS THOSE OF THE ROUTE 91 HARVEST FESTIVAL
SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE STRIP FOR VISITORS
SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE MEMENTO. WILL LOOK JUNKY AS TIME PASSES
SHOULD NOT IMPLY GUNS ARE "BAD"
SHOW APPRECIATION OF POLICE/FIRE/EMS RESPONSE
SHOWING THE COMMUNITY HOW SOME OF THESE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE ENRICHING THEMSELVES
FINANCIALLY THRU THIS TRAGEDY. SCAM ARTISTS-
SHOWING THE COURAGE OF LVMPD & FIRE RESPONDING TO THE SCENE
SIMPLE AND EASY. DON’T MAKE IT AN AMUSEMENT PARK ATTRACTION
SOME OF THESE IDEAS ARE TOTALLY CREEPY.
SOMEWHERE SAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND BUG ENOUGH TO HOLD MY FAMILY, EVERYONE INVOLVED THAT
NIGHT AND MYSELF EVERY YEAR ON OCTOBER 1. WE MAKE A TRIP OUT THERE EVERY YEAR TO HONOR,
REMEMBER TO THANK GOD WE ARE STILL HERE WITH OUR FAMILIES AND IT WILL BE A TRADITION FROM NOW
UNTIL THE DAY I’M GONE AND I’M PRETTY SURE MY KIDS WILL MAKE IT EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT WHEN I’M
GONE!!!!!
SPIRITUALLY APPEALING TO ALL REGARDLESS OF RELIGION
STATUE LIKE MARY TYLER MOORE’S DOWNTOWN MPLS. SHOULD BE MORE THAN THE STARS BUT NOT AS
HUGE AS D.C. AND LOCATED ON LVBLD
STOP SPENDING MONEY ON STUPID S*** WHILE WE HAVE THE WORST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE COUNTRY.
WASTE OF MONEY. LAS VEGAS IS A F**ING CESSPOOL.
STRESS THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE TO THIS VIOLENCE, HEROIC ACTIONS, RESILIENCE. LOVE FACED EVIL AND
OVERCAME IT.
SURVIVORS HAVE INPUT
SYMBOLISM
TAKING CARE OF THE HOMELESS WOULD BE A FITTING MEMORIAL.
THAT SITE WILL NEVER BE RIGHT FOR ANY COMMERCIAL ENTITY. IT NEEDS TO BE A REAL PARK. LV NEEDS A
PARK ANYWAY IN THE CITY FOR TOURISTS AND LOCALS LIKE SF AND NYC
THE ABILITY TO LEAVE MEMENTOS AT THE SITE IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN THE ABILITY FOR VISITORS TO LEAVE
THEIR WRITTEN SENTIMENT
THE FAMILIES MUST DECIDE, NOT THE PUBLIC. NO POLITICS PLEASE.
THE HORROR OF GUN VIOLENCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING FOR AND REACHING OUT TO EACH OTHER WHENEVER YOU SEE A PERSON
FEELING DOWN/ALONE/HELPLESS!
THE IMPORTANCE OF CITIZENS TO BE CAPABLE OF DEFENDING THEMSELVES
THE LIVING DO NOT NEED TO BE MEMORIALIZED. THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE DECEASED.
THE MEMORIAL SHOULD BE S LV BLVD & MANDALAY BAY DR (SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE EVENT LOCATION).
THIS ALLOWS VISITORS TO VISIT THE MEMORIAL AND BY SIMPLY TURNING AROUND, VIEWING THE SHOOTERS
47
LOCATION, WHICH WILL FURTHER MAGNIFY THE VULNERABILITY OF THE VICTIMS.
THE MEMORIAL SHOULD INVOLVE MUSIC
THE MEMORIAL SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING “IN YOUR FACE” OR LOCATED AT A MAJOR TOURIST SITE LIKE THE
LV SIGN. WE SHOULD REMEMBER THE VICTIMS BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACE OF LAS VEGAS, SO THE MEMORIAL
IS SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY, NOT FOR VISITORS
THE NAME SHOULD NOT BE 1 OCTOBER. THAT IS A POLICE AND MILITARY DATE. FOR THOSE IN ATTENDANCE
THAT NIGHT IT WILL ALWAYS BE OCTOBER 1ST! AND WE HONOR 58. ANY ADDITIONAL DEATHS AFTER THE FACT
CAN BE NOTED WITH SOME TYPE OF PLAQUE STATING TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED OR SHALL PASS SINCE
THAT DATE. NO OTHER NUMBER THAN 58 SHOULD BE USED AS YOU MAY NEVER KNOW THE CORRECT NUMBER
TO CHOOSE AS WE ATTENDED FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND INTERNATIONALLY.
THE NUMBER “58” IS A TREASURED NUMBER FOR US ALL AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT USED THROUGHOUT
THE MEMORIAL
THE SITE SHOULD SHOW REVERENCE, BUT THE INSANE GUN LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE SENSELESS OF
THE DEATHS SHOULD BE VALIDATED. THIS IS AN AMERICAN PROBLEM, BNB [SIC] OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY
HAS. IT IS FROM OUR OWN MAKING AND THE MEMORIAL NEEDS TO REFLECT THAT TRUTH.
THE TRUTH SHOULD BE TAUGHT BUT INSTEAD IT HAS BEEN REPRESSED. NEVADANS DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED.
THE VICTIM COUNT SHOULD ALWAYS BE 58. THOSE 58 NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE. ALWAYS
58!!!!!
THERE SHOULDN’T BE A MEMORIAL BECAUSE WHY WOULD U WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE OF SOMETHING THAT
WAS HORRIBLE EVERY SINGLE DAY THE MONEY YOU’RE TAKE TO BUILD THIS GO TO OTHER MORE DESERVING
SITUATIONS IE HOMELESS PEOPLE
THERE IS A MEMORIAL LOCATED IN THE ARTS DISTRICT. I FELT THEY DID A GOOD JOB AS A MEMORIAL WITH
PICTURES OF THE VICTIMS AND WHO THEY WERE AND THE IMPACT IT HAD ON LAS VEGAS. I FEEL IT’S VERY
IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS EFFECTED BY THE TRAUMATIC EVENT. I FEEL
THAT IT SHOULD BE LOCATED NEAR THE PLACE IT TOOK PLACE. I’M NOT SURE THE EFFECT IT WILL HAVE IN THE
CITY TO HAVE TWO LOCATIONS OF THE MEMORIAL. YOU MIGHT WANT TO RELOCATE THE MEMORIAL THAT IS
LOCATED IN ARTS DISTRICT AND LOCATED BY THE LOCATION OF THE SHOOTING. JUST MY THOUGHTS. THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR THE CITY TO DO IS REACH OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES WHO LOST A LOVE ONE.
THEIR VOICES ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO THIS PUBLIC ART MEMORIAL.
THERE IS ALREADY A MEMORIAL
THERE IS NOTHING TO EDUCATE ABOUT ROUNDS GOING OFF ABOVE YOUR HEAD. NOTHING.
THERE SHOULD BE DIFFERENT AREAS FOR THE 58 LIVES LOST ON OCTOBER 1, AND ONE FOR THOSE LOST AFTER
THE FACT
THERE THAT WAS DAMAGED OR ORIGINALS FROM THAT SITE. OKLAHOMA DID A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL
THESE THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND. A SHAME THEY DIED!
THIS IS A MEMORIAL FOR THEIR FAMILIES NOT KIDS NOT PEOPLE OF GENDER. NONE OF THIS LIBERAL BULLS***.
THINK ABOUT THE FAMILIES AFFECTED
THIS IS UNNECESSARY.
THIS NEEDS TO BE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO HEAL, REFLECT, BE AT PEACE WITH THOSE THAT THEY'VE LOST,
BEGIN OR PROGRESS IN THEIR JOURNEY OF MOVING FORWARD. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING VIOLENT IN THIS
SPACE!!!
THIS SITE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE VICTIMS LOVE FOR COUNTRY MUSIC
TILES MADE FOR ORIGINAL SITE TO BE INCLUDED
UN PARQUE
UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE 58 REPRESENTS
UPDATES, PROGRESS OF CHANGE, SOCIAL STRUCTURES THAT IMPROVED
UPDATE ON THE FAMILIES AND HOW THEY ARE POST EVENT
USING THE PURPLE AND ORANGE COLORS OF THE FESTIVAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME AND MOST
SURVIVORS.
48
VICTIM'S NAMES AND BIOGRAPHY
WASTE OF MONEY
WATER FEATURE
WATERFALL AND POOL IN A PARK LIKE SERRING [SIC]
WAY TO HONOR EACH PERSON LOST SO THAT THEY'RE MUCH MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AFTER THE SHOOTING
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT MAKE THIS AN ANTI-GUN THING. THERE WERE SO MANY FAILURES THAT
RESULTED IN THIS TRAGEDY. LET'S HONOR AND RESPECT THOSE LOST, THOSE WHO SURVIVED AND THOSE
WHO RESPONDED AND THE COMMUNITY THAT STILL MOURNS THIS EVENT TO THIS DAY.
WHY NOT HAVE A TREE PLANTED FIR EVERY PERSON DIED AT THE EVENT WITH A PLAQUE WITH THEIR NAMES.
IT WOULD BE A PEACEFUL PLACE AS WELL AS HELP ON THE ENVIRONMENT
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT WHO WAS AT THE CONCERT - IT WAS EVERYONE THAT WAS IN
VEGAS AT THAT TIME - IT HURT US LOCALS EMOTIONALLY VERY MUCH AND WE SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED
JUST BECAUSE WE WERE NOT THERE AT THE CONCERT
WITHIN THE LOCATION AN AREA FOR SMALL INTIMATE STAGE FOR PERFORMANCES TO TAKE BACK OUR
FREEDOM AND THRIVE
YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT HONORING THOSE WHO HAVE SURVIVED AS WELL. MY BEST FRIEND IS A SURVIVOR
AND I KNOW SHE WOULD BE HONORED TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED. I ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE HEALING AND
HELP OTHER SURVIVORS UNITE AND HEAL

APPENDIX D: Other responses to Q12
A FAMILY MEMBER WAS SUPPOSED TO GO.
AFTER THE SHOOTING, I HEARD CONTINUOUS SIRENS FOR A LONG TIME. I LIVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM
SUNRISE HOSPITAL. I WAS, AND STILL AM, HORRIFIED BY THE EVENTS OF 1 OCTOBER.
AFTER THE SHOOTING, I WAS ONE OF FOUR LIMO DRIVERS FROM THE BELLAGIO THAT DROVE QUINTON
ROBBINS' FAMILY TO HIS FUNERAL IN HENDERSON, NV. WE SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY WITH THEM. THE
EXPERIENCE OF THAT DAY IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. AFTER LEAVING THE CHURCH, WE WERE
ESCORTED BY HENDERSON POLICE AND FIRE AS WELL AS LAKE MEAD PARK SERVICE AND LED HUNDREDS OF
CARS THROUGH THE LAKE MEAD NATIONAL PARK UP TO BOULDER CITY CEMETERY. AFTER THE CEREMONY,
QUINTON'S GRANDMOTHER PERSONALLY INVITED US TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE AT A DINNER AT THE CHURCH.
THEY TREATED US AS IF WE A PART OF THEIR FAMILY.

AS A FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST AND COLLEAGUES WORKED THE EVENT
AS A THERAPIST THIS AFFECTS FOLKS MENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
AS A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, THIS SHATTERED MY SENSE OF SECURITY AND IT BROUGHT BACK MANY
HORRIFIC MEMORIES WHICH HAS LIMITED MY FREEDOM TO FEEL SAFE ON THE ER
AS AN UBER DRIVER, I WAS PRIVILEGED TO DRIVE SEVERAL FAMILY & FRIENDS OF CONCERT GOERS
AS AN UBER DRIVER, MY PHONE WAS "BLOWING UP" WITH REQUESTS AS FAR AS 10-15 MI AWAY FROM MY
LOCATION AND I WAS HELPLESS TO ACCEPT THEM. I PICKED UP 6 PASSENGERS AT A WALMART THAT WANTED
TO RETURN TO LUXOR AND DID NOT WANT TO SEPARATE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND COULD NOT GET ANYONE
ELSE TO PICK THEM UP SIMPLY BECAUSE NO AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE DEMAND. THEY WERE VERY
FRIGHTENED AND IN SHOCK. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT THEM TO WITHIN A BLOCK OF THE LUXOR
SINCE I WAS MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE BACK ROADS. THEY WERE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.

I AM A LOCAL WHO ATTEND EVENTS AT THAT VENUE IN THE PAST AND ATTENDED LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL THE WEEK
PRIOR AND IT HIT CLOSE TO HOME THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO AN EVENT I HAD ATTENDED. IT

RECALL ALL THE PANICKED MESSAGES FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME
THINKING I WAS IN ATTENDANCE
I AM A MOTHER OF A MURDER VICTIM AND LEAD A SUPPORT GROUP FOR SURVIVORS OF ALL MURDER

I AM A NATIVE LAS VEGAN. I HAD MANY FRIENDS THERE. I’M A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AND I HAD TO HAVE
UNCOMFORTABLE DISCUSSIONS WITH MY STUDENTS ABOUT THE EVENT.
I AM A NATIVE NEVADAN WHO WAS DEEPLY SADDENED AND EMOTIONALLY SCARRED WAKING UP TO FIND
OUT THAT SOMETHING SO HEINOUS COULD HAPPEN IN MY CITY/STATE.
I AM A NURSE, LIVE CLOSE TO A ER AND HEARD SIRENS ALL NIGHT.
I AM A REGISTERED NURSE IN THE ER AND BECAME BEST FRIENDS WITH A VICTIM WHOM LOST HER EYE (AND I
PHYSICALLY CARRIED HER FROM AN AMBULANCE INTO A TRAUMA ROOM). WE GOT A MATCHING ROUTE 91
TATTOO A YEAR AFTERWARDS.
I AM A RIDESHARE DRIVER THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TO THE EVENT AND LOCAL VENUES TO ATTEND DURING THE
DAY.
I AM A RIDESHARE DRIVER. I FOUND A DOG RIGHT BEFORE THE SHOOTING STOPPED ME FROM BEING THERE AS
I WAS ON MY WAY. SO WE SAVED EACH OTHER... I JUST LOST HIM 2.2.2021 THAT NIGHT I ALSO ASSISTED WITH
DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE AREA. I’VE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF WHERE I LIVE
I AM A SURVIVOR OF VIOLENCE. THIS MEMORIAL IS FOR OCTOBER 1ST, BUT WHEN I WEAR MY VEGAS STRONG
SHIRT I THINK OF OTHER FORGOTTEN SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE.
I AM A TEACHER IN CCSD WHO HELPED HIS STUDENTS BY GIVING A QUIET SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO AWAIT
WORD ON SAFETY OF FAMILY MEMBERS ON OCTOBER 2ND

I AM ALWAYS SADDENED BY THE VIOLENCE THAT IS DIRECTED AT INNOCENT PEOPLE.
52
I AM AN EMPLOYEE AT MANDALAY BAY WHO HEARD THE SHOTS AND WAS ON LOCK DOWN ALL NIGHT
I AM AN ÜBER DRIVER. I WAS AT THAT LOCATION WHEN THE BULLETS WERE FLYING! I HAD A PASSENGER IN
THE BACK SEAT. IT WAS VERY INTENSE BOTH THAT NIGHT AND DRIVING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I MET A FEW
PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE AND HEARD MANY SAD AND DISTURBING STORIES.
I AM CLOSE TO A HANDFUL OF FIRST RESPONDERS WHO WERE THERE. I WASN'T DIRECTLY IMPACTED, THOUGH.
I AM NOW FRIENDS WITH 5 OF THE FAMILIES THAT LOST A LOVED ONE THAT NIGHT
I AM PART OF THE COUNTRY COMMUNITY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE EVENT
I AM UBER DRIVER WAS WORKING THE AIRPORT AT TIME OF SHOOTING. AND OVER NEXT 7 MONTHS WAS
QUESTION BY ALL MOST EVERY ONE I PICKED UP.
I ATTEND EVENTS.
I ATTEND THE EVENT BUT NOT THAT NIGHT
I ATTENDED THE DEDICATION CEREMONY AT THE HEALING GARDEN. SURVIVORS ATTENDED, AS WELL.
I BECAME A NURSE AT THE TRAUMA CENTER AFTERWARDS
I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE SOUND OF ALL OF THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES FROM THAT NIGHT. I CANNOT HEAR A
EMERGENCY VEHICLE SIREN WITHOUT THINKING OF 1 OCTOBER.
I COVERED THE NEWS ABOUT THE SHOOTING FOR LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA
I DID CHAPLAIN ROUNDS FOR SUNRISE HOSPITAL IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK
I DIDN’T HAVE A HORSE IN THE RACE
I DONATED BLOOD AND VOLUNTEERED AT THE WEST CHARLESTON UNITED BLOOD SERVICE FACILITY
I FEEL EXTREME SADNESS FOR THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY. I STILL CRY ABOUT
THIS EVENT AND ALL THAT IT ENTAILS.
I FEEL VERY SAD FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. MY DAUGHTER LOVES TO ATTEND CONCERTS. WE SHOULD
ENJOY MUSIC WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I FELT SORRY FOR LAS VEGAS AND VIOLATED THAT I COULDN'T GO SOUTH OF TROPICANA FOR A MONTH
WITHOUT EXPERIENCING ANXIETY ISSUES.
I FOLLOWED THE NEWS
I FREQUENT VEGAS AND THAT HOTEL. I’VE ALSO HAD TOO PLACES THERE AND IT’S THE GREATEST CITY ON
EARTH. ALTHOUGH I DON’T LIVE THERE I WAS A LAS VEGAN THAT DAY. AND I AM PROUD OF #VEGASSTRONG
I GRIEVED FOR EACH AND EVERY VICTIM
I HAD FAMILY IN THE AREA.
I HAD FRIENDS FAMILY MEMBERS DIE AND MY NEPHEW WAS THERE HE DID MAKE IT OUT SAFE
I HAD IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE VICINITY.
I HAD ONCE WORKED AT MANDALAY BAY AND KNOW PEOPLE WHO TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.
I HAD SOLD MY TICKET AND FEEL GUILTY FOR PUTTING SOMEONE ELSE IN THAT POSITION
I HAD SURVIVORS AT THE EVENT
I HAD TICKETS BUT COULDN'T GO. I CAN'T IMAGINE IF I WOULD HAVE GONE
I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THAT SITE FOR MARATHON STARTS AND MUSIC
I HAVE ATTENDED EVER ROUTE 91 CONCERT EXCEPT THIS ONE. THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDN’T ATTEND WAS
BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY SEEN EVERY ARTIST WHO WAS ON THE LINE UP.
I HAVE ATTENDED THIS EVENT IN THE PAST AND HAD MANY FRIENDS AT THE EVENT.
I HAVE FRIENDS THAT WERE WORKING NEARBY ON THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING.
I HAVE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS FOR 67 YEARS. IN THOSE 67 YEARS I HAVE NEVER, & I MEAN NEVER THOUGHT THAT
SUCH A CRUEL & SENSELESS ACT WOULD REAR IT'S UGLY HEAD IN OUR CITY! IT HURTS EVERY FIBER OF MY
BEING. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE INNOCENT SOULS THAT WERE LOST THAT NIGHT, &, ALWAYS BE PROUD OF
THE BRAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO RAN HEADFIRST INTO THE STORM. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER A COMMUNITY
COMING TOGETHER AS ONE TO DO WHAT THEY COULD TO HELP. WE WERE FOR A TIME, UNITED.
I HAVE LOST LOVED ONES FROM MURDER, AND ANY MURDER, INCLUDING MASS SHOOTINGS, AFFECTS ME
53
GREATLY.
I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE TOLD THAT FOR SOME REASON THE PEOPLE MURDERED ON OCT 1 ARE SOMEHOW
BETTER THAN PEOPLE WHO ARE KILLED OR DIE ANY OTHER DAY.
I HEADED TO EVENT FOR HEALING BUT WAS TURNED AWAY DUE TO SELLOUT. ATE DINNER IN WAY HOME, GOT
HOME, TURNED ON TV AND 90 MIN LATER NEWS FLASH OF INCIDENT. SURVIVORS GUILT, I STILL CRY WHEN I
SEE NEWS IF IT.
I INTERACTED WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE.
I KNOW PEOPLE THAT KNEW PEOPLE WHO WERE IMPACTED
I KNOW PEOPLE WHO LOST LOVED ONES.
I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WERE CLOSELY RELATED TO SOMEONE WHOSE MOM WAS A VICTIM
I KNOW THE TRUTH
I KNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN BUT DIDN’T WARNED NO ONE TO PREVENT KILLING FROM HAPPEN ON THAT DAY
I LEFT THE CONCERT AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK AT SUNRISE HOSPITAL. I AM NOT A NURSE RATHER A
DIRECTOR OVER SUPPORT SERVICES. I HELPED THE FAMILIES DURING THEIR INJURED LOVED ONES PHYSICAL
RECOVERY. THE NEED FOR THE FAMILIES TO HAVE A PLACE TO GO TO AND HONOR THE VICTIMS IS EQUALLY
IMPORTANT AS THE PHYSICAL HEALING OF THOSE INJURIES
I LIKE TO GO TO CONCERTS TWO WEEKS BEFORE I WAS IN ONE. THANK GOOD I DON'T LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC.
THAT MAY ME THINK HOW LUCKY I'M
I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS AND WATCHED THE EVENTS UNFOLD. THEN THE NEXT DAY I WAS WORKING FOR AMAZON
PRIME AND WE GOT A LOT OF ORDERS TO HELP SUPPORT LOCAL LAW-ENFORCEMENT ORDERS ARE BEING SENT
TO THE EVENT SITE
I LIVE IN LV AND LOVE THE COMMUNITY OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE WE HAVE. I WAS IN BERLIN WITH I HEARD
THE NEWS-(I AM AN RN) I FELT A HELPLESSNESS LIKE NEVER BEFORE... AND SUCH SORROW.
I LIVED DOWN THE STREET, I HEARD THE BOOMS LIKE FIREWORKS
I LIVED NEARBY AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT.
I LOST A CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND AND ALSO HAD SOME OF MY FAMILY THERE THAT ARE SURVIVORS.
I LOST A FRIEND OF OVER 20 YEARS THAT NIGHT AND LAID THERE WITH MY OTHER FRIEND OF OVER 20 YEARS
AFTER SHE WAS SHOT AT THE BEGINNING. I STAYED WITH HER UNTIL THE SHOOTING STOPPED.
I LOST A FRIEND/CO-WORKER
I LOST DISTANT COWORKERS AND CHILDREN OF COWORKERS
I LOVE IN AN AREA FROM WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO THE FESTIVAL AND KNOW PEOPLE WHO LOST
LOVED ONES
I MET MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE VICTIMS.
I PERSONALLY KNOW 3 PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE AND HAVE SUFFERED EMOTIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PTSD,
ALL TO DIFFERENT DEGREES
I PROVIDED MEDICAL AID TO MY FRIEND WHO HAD BEEN SHOT.
I RATHER KEEP IT TO MYSELF. DON'T WANT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS.
I RECEIVED/DATA ENTERED PROPERTY FROM THE VICTIMS
I REMEMBER THE DAY WELL, AFTER BIBLE STUDIES I SPOKE ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE . CANDICE AND I DROVE
BY THE AREA AND THEN PAST THE WELCOME SIGN. THAT'S WHERE MY HEART BROKE. SEEING ALL THE WHITE
CROSSES AND HEARTS TOOK ME BY SURPRISE. I HURRIED AND WENT TO I BELIEVE JOE THE GENTLEMEN THAT
BROUGHT THE CROSSES. I ASKED QUESTIONS AND NEEDED TO HEAR WHY, MY HEART WAS TORN. I ASKED IF I
COULD WRITE A NAME JUST ONE ANY NAME, I NEEDED TO! HE SAID HE WAS DOING ALL OF THIS ON NO SLEEP
SO HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK. HE HANDED ME ALL THE NAMES & I GOT TO BEARING MY HEART &
SOUL INTO THE NAMES OF EACH AND EVERY LOST SOUL. CANDICE ONE BY ONE READ THE NAMES & I ON MY

I SAW HOW A FRIEND OF MINE WAS IMPACTED WHO WORKED THE FRONT DESK AT MANDALAY BAY THAT
NIGHT, AND HAD TO DO HER BEST TO HELP ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CAME RUNNING IN FROM THE SITE, YELLING
AND BLEEDING, CONFUSED AND IN SHOCK.

I WAS A FRONT LINE ER EMPLOYEE OF SUNRISE HOSPITAL WHERE MOST OF THE VICTIMS WERE RECEIVED.

ALREADY THERE AND IT COULD’VE HAPPENED THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND THAT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
I WAS BELOW. I THAT’S NOT THE ONLY SHOTS I WAS AROUND WHEN I LIVED THERE. I’LL NEVER COME BACK
DUE TO GUN VIOLENCE
I WAS DIRECTLY SUPPORTING THE FIRST RESPONDERS THAT NIGHT AND THE DAYS AFTERWARD IN MY JOB
I WAS EVACUATED FROM MY WORKPLACE AS THE FALSE RUMOR SPREAD OF MORE ACTIVE SHOOTERS
TRAVELED
I WAS IMPACTED BECAUSE I NEVER IMAGINE SOMETHING THIS BAD COULD EVER HAPPENED HERE IN MY HOME
LAS VEGAS.
I WAS IN ONE OF THE HOTEL ROOMS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SHOOTING. IT WAS A TRAGEDY THAT I DID NOT
SEE BUT STILL FELT THE SHOCK AND SADNESS OF IT ALL.
I WAS IN THE VICINITY EARLIER IN THE EVENING AFTER THE HOCKEY GAME WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN IT
HAPPENED
I WAS IN THE VICINITY OF THE OF THE SHOOTING NO LESS THAN 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING AND
COULD HEAR THE GUNFIRE FROM MY HOME AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE.
I WAS INSPIRED TO JOIN THE RED CROSS AS A VOLUNTEER TO ASSIST THE COMMUNITY IN RECOVERY.
I WAS LIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND WATCHED IT ALL UNFOLD ON THE NEWS. MY WIFE AND I WERE IN TEARS
BECAUSE WE VISITED LAS VEGAS OFTEN AND COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR THE PEOPLE THERE
55
TO GO THROUGH THAT EXPERIENCE.
I WAS NEARLY THE VICTIM OF A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING SO I CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH THOSE WHO COULD HAVE
BEEN SHOT, BUT WEREN'T.
I WAS NEITHER THERE NOR CLOSE BY, BUT I FEEL THAT WE NEED SOMETHING PERMANENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE INCIDENT THAT WAS A GROSSLY HISTORIC INCIDENT
I WAS NOT THERE BUT I AM NOW AFRAID TO VISIT DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS
I WAS NOT THERE, BUT EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HONOR THOSE WHO WERE THERE.

NEXT TO ME SAW AND SCREAMED. HALF THE PLANE WAS AT THE SHOW, FLIGHT CREWS TRIED TO CALM
DOWN PASSENGERS ALL THE WAY TO SAN JOSE

I WATCHED IT LIVE, CALLED MY BROTHER AND WOKE UP MY WIFE AS THIS WAS SOMETHING WE ALL NEEDED
TO SEE AND FEEL, MY WIFE STILL HAS BAD DREAMS ABOUT IT
I WATCHED IT UNFOLD FROM NEAR THE BEGINNING THROUGH TWITTER AND LOCAL NEWS. I STAY UP LATE BUT
MY SPOUSE DOESN’T, SO I HAD NO ONE TO SHARE MY HORROR WITH (I WOULDN’T WAKE HIM UP AS HE HAD
TO GO TO WORK EARLY). I ALMOST WENT TO THE SITE IN MY SUV, AS I COULD’VE PICKED UP SEVERAL PEOPLE
TO TAKE TO A HOSPITAL OR TO THEIR HOMES, AS I HAVE NO PROBLEM DEALING WITH BLOOD, INJURIES, ETC. I
REGRET NOT DRIVING THERE TO HELP.
I WATCHED THE ENTIRE EVENT UNFOLD ALL NIGHT LONG ON THE NEWS.

I WORKED FOR AMR AT THE TIME, ALTHOUGH I WASN'T ON SHIFT DURING 1 OCTOBER
