Vegas...Welcome

The only times I have had a brake pedal go to the floor and stay there with no pump up response, is when it involved a failed master cylinder. With most modern brake systems there is a dual hydraulic brake circut so if one part of one circut fails (ie. air in line because of a leaking line or brake cylinder) at least the other two brakes should grab...but it might require some pumping. If the MC is not holding pressure then neither circut will work.
Cheers,
