Foster + Partners’ unfi nished Harmon Hotel on the Las Vegas strip is set to be demol- ished without even opening its doors. On 22 April, MGM Resorts International received approval to tear down Foster + Partners’ failing structure owing to rein- forcing steel not being correctly installed on 15 fl oors of the 47 story building. The building was intended to provide 207 luxury residences and 400 hotel bedrooms, as well as a spa and sev- eral restaurants. It was also part of the 27-hectare CityCentre development by MGM, which also features an ARIA Resort and Casino, Vdara Hotel and Spa, and
Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, as well as a luxury shopping destination. The construction gaffe has cost US$279m (E203m, £165m) plus another US$11.5m (E8.3m, £6.8m) to dismantle. In a statement, Gordon Absher, a
spokesperson for MGM said: “CityCenter consulted with experts about the fastest and safest way to resolve public safety concerns created by the structural defect issues at the Harmon.” Unlike the spec- tacles of old Vegas hotels being blown up with explosives, the demolition will see the building coming down fl oor by fl oor.
