MGM RESORTS SAYS IT WILL DEMOLISH HARMON TOWER

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.
