3. Structural and Buildings
- in Las Vesgas: “The 49-story Harmon Hotel, which was expected to hold 200 condos and 400 hotel rooms, was found to be structurally deficient and never actually opened. The building is now naturally the subject of lawsuits and has been designated for demolition by MGM. It currently serves as the most expensive billboard in the history of Las Vegas: a $279 million tax write-off that reportedly could collapse in an earthquake.” (from grantland.com)
