SECOND LOOK: The Mandalay Bay Massacre — Nine Years On

On 1 October 2017, a gunman opened fire on thousands of people attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, committing the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in modern US history.

Nine years on, we’re returning to one of the most devastating cases we’ve ever covered for the latest instalment of Seeing Red: Second Look.

Originally released in 2022, Mark recorded this episode just days after returning from Las Vegas, where a visit to the Mandalay Bay hotel inspired him to explore the events of that night. In a newly recorded introduction, he reflects on visiting the resort and the strange normality of a place where there was little visible acknowledgement of the horror that had unfolded there just a few years earlier.

The episode also gives a voice to some of those who survived the attack, including stories of extraordinary courage, resilience and, in one particularly tragic case, an almost unimaginable twist of fate.

Whether you heard this episode when it was first released or are discovering the case with us for the first time, this is Seeing Red: Second Look — The Mandalay Bay Massacre.

This episode was originally released in January 2022 and is presented largely in its original form, with a newly recorded introduction.
