Logistics of the Cleanup

Good response, Greg. I have to agree, having the security guard dead too gave them three times the job as previous. You mentioned the power tool Boyd was using; the tool he had is called a tiger saw, and the blades need to be changed frequently. I wonder if he thought of getting spares while they were at the Wal-Mart.
It would have greatly helped them if one of the five was a professional butcher/ meat processor, but the likehood of one of five yuppies in that trade would be very small. -

Boyd was hacksawing the bodies, while Michael was packaging the body parts with industrial wrapping, ducktape, and string. The others were cleaning up after themselves. The prostitute's dismembered torso could be picked up and carried around by an reasonably able bodied adult man, no real problem to hauling it around in a suitcase.
They could've not gotten their clean up equipment by car - the big store they went to could've been reached from the hotel by foot, although how they got it through the hotel without arousing suspicion is more problamatic.
It took a relatively long time for the hotel staff to respond to the accidental death, murder, and illegal body disposal, but they did report their security guard as missing to the authorities (it was on the news the next day). Boyd called on the prostitute without consulting her agency, but I doubt she would not be missed, due to her being high-class. The prostitute likely had a busy social life and a boyfriend (or girlfriend) that would've known she was gone. -

Having been to Vegas, absolutely not. They were downtown rather than the Strip (from being under the animated canopy) but there is no big box store within practical walking distance. As it is, finding a Wal-Mart on the map and getting into the parting lot at night would be a challenge; someone unfamilar with the area would tend to overshoot it. Yes, they'd have to bring the stuff in one of the guest doors, and have a good cover story.
<As I've said, it would be a pretty dumb call girl who would not have a contact and an expected time of return. Boyd and the boys would have had to have nerves of steel, all around.

They had nerves of steel for the night of the cover up and body disposal, but the lads (with the exception of Boyd) were relatively normal people and mentally collapsed within the week. Boyd was a criminal sociopath who revelled in murder and shreding bodies apart, he inevitably went completely out of control by the time of the wedding day.

Um, 300 pounds, divided by 5, divided by 2 (two arms) = 30 pounds Are you telling me you can't carry half a bag of concrete on one arm? If so, LOL!? I can easily lift a 25 lb weight with one arm and curl it well over 30 times. And trust me, I'm no workout warrior. Haven't been to a gym/weight room since high school. Maybe you need to eat some more spinach yah?

Replay the film in your head. They had one suitcase apiece, carrying it by a suitcase -handle-, apiece. 48 pounds minimum, that would be a challenge for even a strong man.
Now perhaps they took two trips. The security guard's torsothey could disguise it as something. -

What about the potentially bad coppery smell? I think they had one trip out through the casino and they looked like they were going to flip then.
They showed Michale or Boyd placing down the guard's packaged torso in a large suitcase and at the burial site (where they had a body part jigsaw) they could lift it up. It was more hassel than the prostitute's narrow torso, but they could lift it up. -
