I don’t know which of the hundreds of articles it was in but one of them said the FBI was looking into “giant gambling ‘transactions’ that he made in the last week”. They wouldn’t say if it was a win or a loss, but think about it:
You lose more money than you could bear and you snap. Go home, get the guns, walk into a soft target and shoot. Except he didn’t do that, he left the guns at home.
You lose more money than you could bear and you snap. You spend even MORE money to buy some more guns, leave the others at home, rent a hotel with a view of the strip for 5 days and then start shooting with said guns?
You lose more money than you could bear and you snap. You …. You get the point. None of this is adding up.
Exactly. Furthermore, if you lose more money than you can stand and snap, why would you target innocent bystanders? Wouldn't someone in that situation be more likely to target the folks that, you know, took his money?
Plus, it's a pretty serious "snap" that goes on for 5 days and allows for premeditated action...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
