MGM Resorts International told the Clark County Building Department Monday it will demolish the structurally troubled Harmon Tower, which is part of the $8.5 billion CityCenter development.
A structural engineer has said the unfinished 27-story tower on the Strip is in danger of collapsing in a major earthquake. Construction defect issues surrounding the Harmon are the focus of a lawsuit between MGM Resorts, which is the operator and half-owner of CityCenter, and Perini Building Co., CityCenter's general contractor.
