- Sense of normalcy returns to Excalibur after shooting (12-15-2012)
- Man, woman killed in double shooting at Excalibur (12-14-2012)
A man who fatally shot a woman at the concierge desk at the Exacalibur on Friday and then killed himself has been identified as Edward Brandt, 31, of Lake Forest, Ill., the Clark County Coroner’s Office said.
Brandt died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, officials said.
The woman Metro Police said Brandt targeted in the shooting, Jessica Kenny, 30, was taken to University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
She worked as a vendor for travel website VEGAS.com, which is owned by the Greenspun family, publishers of the Las Vegas Sun.
No one else was injured in the shooting, which took place about 8:30 p.m. and sent casino patrons stampeding for the doors. Police have not said what relationship Brandt might have had to Kenny.
Sources said the shooter might have dated Kenny, but they parted ways in 2009. Within the past few months, the shooter made sporadic contact with Kenny, but the two were not seeing each other, sources said.
A myriad of entertainment, enjoyable food and comfortable accommodations make for an inviting atmosphere within the castle walls at Excalibur.
The resort offers 3,981 guest rooms, dozens of shops, an expansive pool complex, a wedding chapel featuring Medieval costume ceremonies, the relaxing Spa at Excalibur and a convention area with more than 12,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.
Excalibur also is home to a wide range of dining and entertainment experiences including the fresh, Italian fare of Buca di Beppo, Dick’s Last Resort, The Steakhouse at Camelot, the Tournament of Kings dinner show, the all-male revue Thunder From Down Under and the sounds of The Australian Bee Gees.
