Vegas gunman booked hotel overlooking Lollapalooza

The Las Vegas gunman responsible for the largest mass shooting in recent U.S. history may have had his sights on Chicago's Lollapalooza. TMZ reports that the gunman booked 2 rooms at the Blackstone Hotel across the street from Grant Park, overlooking Lollapalooza.

Sources say the gunman booked one room for August 1, 2017, two days before the festival started,  a second room for an August 3 arrival, but he never showed up. Both rooms had a checkout date of August 6, when Lollapalooza ended.

The outdoor concert spans 4 days and has 400,000 attendees.
