"Additionally: Now I know the source of the flashes on the lower floor, its reflection from all the cop cars parked just up the road with their lights flashing."
For what I can tell those flashes are those emergency strobe lights for stairwells and what not. Like if there is a fire, earthquake or some other emergency those start going off so people know how to exit the building.
You have a building schematic showing the stairwells? Usually they are located at either ends of building structures, not the middle.

The speed of sound is 340meters/s which means echos should only take about 1.2 seconds.
I agree...the time to "echo" is too long.
This reasoning makes no sense. You don't know the distance from the cameras mic to what ever surface or surfaces are causing the echo.
So many times on here people claim conspiracy because of not understanding physics.
Well if we go by the distance to the target area we know its around 400 meters. We know the cameras mic is at the east side Mandalay bay in the valet area. The fire rate of the echo's also doesn't match up.
Slightly less, about a 1000 feet. Return echoes in beginning of video are from structure further away, obviously.

The problem is when you watch the video from the beginning to 0:43+ seconds. Where are the shots that make the echo at 0:43? It doesn't take 40 seconds to create the so called echo at 0:43. 40 Seconds is too long and you shouldn't be able to hear that. So it is shoots coming from somewhere else.

What is confusing for me is, shortly after the shooter was captured and people in the crowed were being interviewed, there was one woman who was interviewed saying that her and her friends had run around the back of the stage area near cars and caravans / mobile homes and were being chased by a gunman shooting at them?
I don't have the footage, but she definitely said they were being perused by an armed person shooting at them in the concert area?
Anyone see this? or can substantiate it?

There were 2 very different areas he was shooting from one on the front of the Hotel and one on the side which could have made it sound like a different shooter. I will not however rule out a second shooter but then why did they stop there were still plenty of people including myself and Fiance as easy targets...

That is true it could sound quite different but it should still sound really loud from where the taxi driver was at. The window was only off at a 45 degree angle too and the direction of the weapon's barrel is still facing the same way.
It would make a much bigger difference if he shooting out the west side of the building(opposite the taxi driver) or from somewhere inside the hotel. I still think it should be a little louder than what we hear in the video though.
I don't think it is police returning fire from the ground either because there should be more broken windows on the east side. That would be really hard to fire all those rounds through 2 windows from the ground.
Probably not some random person just shooting randomly because why not. Not impossible just not likely, cameras everywhere etc.
It's got to be a second shooter or maybe police shooting at something that's not the hotel or something inside the hotel. There may have been false reports of the shooter and who knows if police accidentally shot the wrong person.
From what I can tell it came from a different location. The taxi driver even points the camera off to the east like as if she hear the sound coming from that direction. I think if it was still from the hotel it should have been much louder.

Yeah, it's really tricky to pin point. I think I'm going to record the first minute and half of the taxi driver audio and take a look at the actual wave form. Might help us get a better idea on whats going on.

an obvious question :
if this allegation is true :
WHY ?
or more specifically - why is " 2 or more gunmen working to a common purpose " a taboo subject ???
i personallly dont see it as any sort of issue - if there are one , 2 , 7 gunmen
so why this conspiracist obsession that alledged " second gunmen " are being " covered up " ??????????????
