It’s possible. Obviously they and their lawyers did a cost benefit analysis and decided heading off thr lawsuits was in their best interests. They maybe right. I don’t think so but it might be.
I'm curious if they would lose even more business if they lost a suit and the media started reporting they were responsible for the shooting?

MGM Resorts sues more than 1,000 Las Vegas shooting victims to avoid liability in massacre:

If anything, if they really wanted good PR, they should offer all of those 1,000+ victims a free weekend hotel trip with comped food or something. Although if I was shot at from a hotel, I'd probably never want to go near that place again.
Holy crap that's brutal. The 'murikan way though. sue sue sue!
I can understand it. People sue over stupid\frivolous things all the time. Going to court is expensive so it can often be cheaper and\or easier to just settle than to actually fight the case. We need to change our system of legal extortion
So do you fall victim of this suit even if you had no intention to sue? Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You get shot at by some crazy guy and if that's not enough you later get extorted of all your money and assets (basically what a lawsuit is) by the owner of the place you got shot that just because you happened to be there. What a ridiculous thing.
MGM is only counter suing those who have already filed suit against them....
Oh ok that's not AS bad, still ridiculous but not as bad as they make it sound. It sounded like they were just blanket suing everyone that was a victim as a precaution to not get sued.
Really even as a victim of any kind of incident like this there's no point in suing the place you were at when it happened, not really much they could have done to prevent it, shit like that happens unfortunately.
That was my point earlier...the media is making it seem that MGM is suing the victims because they are an evil company (they probably aren't any more or less evil than any of the other casinos on the strip)...But that is what sells headlines and gets clicks on their websites...

Interesting discussion thread:

People who where injured or lost loved ones will be looking to be made as whole as possible by suing the hotel because they are the only entity with deep pockets. How many tens or hundreds of millions does the hotel owe each one of those victims for the actions of a mad man? I saw the video of the shooter taking bags up to his room. There was not even a hint that there were guns and ammunition inside.
This was a terrible tragedy, but I'm not sure anyone should be held financially accountable for not preventing it. That said, MORALLY, MGM should use some of their considerable financial resources to help the victims.
Also, if it were my company, I would create a memorial at the location while still maintaining it as a concert/event location. And I would invite all the surviving victims and their families to return for a concert on the next anniversary of the shooting. Massively increase security, celebrate music, life and love, and show the world that we will not allow violence to cow us. I would attend.
