This is Strange: Extremely Conflicting Stories Reported on Stephen Paddock’s Alcohol Use

Sunday on FOX News Sunday, casino mogul Steve Wynn from Wynn Resorts, said his people had watched Stephen Paddock and his girlfriend for years.  Wynn told Chris Wallace they never consumed a drop of alcohol, which was surprising.

Steve Wynn: If there was anything interesting that we discovered, in the years of service… But if there’s anything interesting that stuck out over the six years nobody that’s worked here has ever seen the gentleman or the lady take a drink of wine, beer or alcohol of any kind… They never, ever imbibed in any liquor.

Wynn also said Stephen Paddock and his girlfriend were well-known to his staff.
Via FOX News:

“He’s been staying in Las Vegas since ‘06.  So you know, we’re talking about 11 years with his girlfriend or at least in recent years, frequent visitor, once or twice a month, to this hotel and others. The most vanilla profile one could possibly imagine. A modest gambler at least by our standards, you know, nothing serious, paid promptly, never owed any money anywhere in Las Vegas. He didn’t fit the profile of a problem or compulsive gambler.”

When asked whether he had a motive regarding Paddock’s murderous rampage, Wynn suggested that his previous behavior suggested the gunman was “a rational man.”

And yet just three days ago the UK Daily Mail said those who watched Mr. Paddock play 1,000 rounds of video poker per minute were shocked by the amount of alcohol that he drank.

DailyMail.com can also disclose that other high rollers were concerned about Paddock drinking a ‘constant stream of booze’ whilst he was playing.

They described him as a ‘heavy, heavy drinker’ and wondered if his high alcohol intake contributed to his mental deterioration.

Paddock shot dead 58 people and injured more than 500 on Sunday when he opened fire on a music festival from his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino before shooting himself dead.

And, now this…
There are claims that Mr. Paddock never drank in Las Vegas while gambling, but may have done so in Mesquite and Reno.
LA Late reported:

LALATE can exclusively report that interviews this week reveal persons who served Paddock from 2014 to 2016 recall Paddock drinking alcohol. Moreover, interviews collectively reveal that Paddock was drinking – when not in Vegas – over the last few years, and up until two months ago. But Steve Wynn this morning told FOX that his staff in Las Vegas did not recall Paddock ever drinking alcohol in six years before the shooting.

LALATE can exclusively report that there is a key conflict of interviews being released up until today. Matt Orchowski was a VIP representative at the Atlantis from 2014 to 2016. As USA Today reports, the rep was responsible for catering to the needs of high rollers, including checking them in and serving them drinks. A few of those interactions were with Paddock, the memories of which came back to Orchowski after he saw the man’s face plastered all over the news.”

Will the real truth please stand up?
