There are several things you want to hit in Las Vegas. Hit in Blackjack with a 14 and the dealer is showing a face card. Hit up a great restaurant. You most certainly do not want to hit the ground though, especially by shooting yourself.

That's what happened when 30 year old local Ronnie Delouth was perusing the floor of The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas on Tuesday, February 21st. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department were called to the casino floor to tend to a man on the floor who was suffering from a gunshot wound.

The wound, to his left thigh, was serious enough to have Delouth rushed to UMC in critical condition. Now it's time to figure out who shot him.

Who was behind this Las Vegas shooting at The Cosmopolitan?

It was Ronnie. Ronnie did it.

Turns out, when casino security went to the "eyes in the sky" they spotted the moment where Delouth dropped to the floor. Metro says the rest the best: "Delouth rolls around on the ground, reaches down the front of his waistband, removes a black handgun, throws the handgun under a slot machine, and crawls away."

Yes, it turns out Delouth, who has been convicted of several crimes including burglary, attempted robbery and possession of a weapon... possessed a weapon. He shouldn't have, as he is banned from doing so in the state of Nevada. Turns out the gun was a so-called "ghost gun", that lacks serial numbers and is therefore "not traceable". Unless, of course, there's video of you throwing it under a slot machine.

Also bad news for the freshly wounded shooter? There was a warrant out for his arrested for petit larceny (intentionally taking, stealing, etc something the value of $650 or less). Now he's in Clark County Detention Center with a hearing set for Tuesday, February 28th.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

Another day older, and another week wiser on Aimee+Shawn this week. It began with Shawn turning the tender age of 39. Aimee had the day off (celebrating Shawn's birthday, one can assume)... but young Sammi from the afternoon show was there to make him feel even older.

Shawn brought his dog to the vet for a $400 dental cleaning. So why did he walk out with a $2700 bill?! Did Shawn get screwed?

When Aimee came back on Tuesday, we got a breakthrough. Her son pretty clearly does not want to be associated with her on the internet for the sheer embarrassment of it all. But he has started to teach his mother TikTok dances. Is it going well? Not quite... but it's bonding time!

Valentine's Day brought gift bags to the Tempesta residence. One parent thought it was a good idea to add confetti to theirs. Shawn wants them thrown in prison. They discuss gift etiquette and the whole concept of everyone getting a gift for everything in the first place.

Aimee, somehow, got lost going to the Sahara. When she got there, she took in Magic Mike Live with her mom... who had to use her safe word. Several times.

This week brought a new term to the show: "playing it forward". This is when a listener calls and tries to win tickets for another listener who is having a really tough time winning games on the show. First it was Courtney who "played it forward" to win tickets for Buckeye Bob in Radio Roulette... then Katrina took on Google Predicts to win tickets for Sandra! How can you not love these listeners?!

Finally, Aimee took on Presidential trivia with disastrous results.

Next week on Aimee+Shawn...

The show returns Tuesday (thanks President's Day!) with tickets to see Maroon 5 at Dolby Live at Park MGM! Enjoy the weekend, and see you then!

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

What a week! Aimee+Shawn kicked off on Monday with Aimee going under the needle. She got a Beyoncé-inspired tattoo by @ink_andiron to give herself good luck. Would it work?

Shawn... he used to be carefree. He used to take it easy. But now he's rapidly entering middle-aged and picking fights with garage door opener companies. It's sad to see how quickly he's fallen.

Anyone with kids knows the aspirations we have to give our kids the best. Aimee wanted to get her son Jayden a meet and greet with NFL icons, and get pictures with them. She ended up doing just that, but not before going undercover as a member of the press to circumvent all the rules.

You ever get to a stop sign at the same time as someone else, and you do the "acceleration shuffle"? One car goes, then stops. The other car does it too. No one ends up going despite someone definitely having the right of way? Shawn dealt with it and all of a sudden it was a stand-off during the school commute.

Speaking of stand-offs, Shawn got to bare witness to the biggest hissy fit by someone angry about his enchilada order at Roberto's Taco Shop and he gives the play-by-play on the silliest reason to get uppity, ever.

Aimee's starting to realize her oldest is keeping his digital distance away from her... is she taking it personally? Meanwhile, Shawn recalls the one time he did something physical and truly embarrassed his wife.

Finally... there are some stark differences between men and women... and this difference is almost universal. Aimee+Shawn dove into the difference between wanting to talk about problems and wanting to fix them.

What's coming up on Aimee+Shawn?

Starting on Monday, February 13th and all week long, win your way in to see Duran Duran at 7:40am... plus score Jonas Brothers passes in the 8am and 9am hours! Talk to you then!
