Builder: MGM Resorts won't fix unsafe Vegas hotel - StamfordAdvocate

The builder of an unfinished hotel tower on the Las Vegas Strip deemed structurally unsafe claims MGM Resorts International does not want to repair the Harmon boutique hotel because the company cannot rent more hotel rooms until the economy rebounds.

The accusation came a day after MGM Resorts released a structural report Monday that claimed the Harmon would likely collapse in a strong earthquake.

The finger-pointing is the latest development in a growing legal feud between the two companies that began last year over the stalled hotel project. MGM Resorts claims the hotel was shoddily built, while Tutor Perini Corp. claims the Harmon was defectively designed, but remains stable and could easily be repaired.
