I kinda got the sense the Sheriff was voicing his frustrations. Surely the FBI has taken over every single aspect of this investigation by now and perhaps he doesn't believe they are focusing on that possibility.
And remember, it's not just "one man", it's "one 64-year old man".
They have the room service receipt from the other room that clearly indicates "2 guests" with food enough for two people. The number of guns is odd for one shooter and, thinking about his full arsenal which included shotguns, he had no shotguns on hand in that room. He also had a car with more guns and ammo and make-shift bomb material downstairs.
IMO if he had expected to die in a shootout in that room he would have brought one or more of his shotguns. Also, he only had one handgun.
You can imagine from this setup he planned to shoot the ARs from the windows and then vacate the room, armed only with the one concealed handgun, to get to his fallback weapons in the car.
He registered the room in his girlfriends name, and then wired her money. Was that intended as a diversion? As the son of an FBI's Most Wanted father, perhaps he indented to go on the run. If he had large amounts of cash in that room or in the car it would suggest that.
I think the Mandalay Bay security guard, Mr. Campos, is the hero that threw a monkey wrench in the shooter's original plan.
