Las Vegas hotel with Dubai links may be blown up | ConstructionWeekOnline.com

The hearing over what should be done with the Harmon Hotel, a Las Vegas hotel project half owned by Dubai World and at the centre allegations of construction defects, began on Monday.

Construction on the $8.5bn project, co-owned by MGM Resorts International and Dubai World, ground to a halt four years ago after county inspectors discovered improper installation of critical steel reinforcements (rebar) after 15 storeys of the building had already been constructed.

The halt promoted a project redesign, reducing the height of the building from 49 to 28 storeys but the project has also faced further complications over buyer refunds, cancelations and other issues.
