"Despite the shooting at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino last October in Las Vegas, hotel security experts don’t believe the U.S. hotel industry or its guests are ready to take the same stepsas hotels in higher threat conditions around the world.
During the "Hospitality Security: Post Vegas" panel at the Hospitality Law Conference, Alan Orlob, VP of global safety and security for Marriott International, said he doesn’t believe there’s much appetite in the U.S. for heavy security measures at hotels.
'We know how to do it,' he said. 'We do it all over the world. I don’t think the U.S. is ready for it. I don’t think we need to do it in the U.S. yet.'"
