Two years ago the owners of the $9 billion CityCenter project on the Las Vegas Strip were putting finishing touches on the round glassy exterior of the Harmon Building, a condo-and-hotel tower at the mixed-use development. Now they want to implode it.
On Monday, CityCenter co-owner MGM Resorts International said it wants to destroy the Harmon because the hotel is saddled with construction-engineering problems. Their engineers say it could collapse in a serious earthquake.
