People died building the new Bellagio tower as well. I wonder if construction unions are going to be able to pin this on non-union laborers and possibly even strike the site.

Unfortunately, this happens too often. We were in Vegas when TI was being built, and KLAS TV reported 2 construction workers died at the TI building site.

It happens in construction the world over, It's a dangerous business. Lots of people doing different trades, big machinary, lots of cranes.
Even here in the UK where we have so much Health & Safety overkill at least one person a week is killed in construction. And as with everything Vegas, the construction sites in Vegas are bigger than most anywhere else.

On Monday morning We were staying at PH on the 33rd floor (fountian view)and heard all the sirens we looked out the window and saw 2 ambulances go in to the site and they went to the back of the site. There were a lot of people standing around ( we assumed the press) We left later that morning and never heard what happened. And another on e on Tuesday I think some one at OSHA should take a closer look into this construction site

Krisfarnsworth, the deaths at Project CityCenter occured February 2007 (when this thread was started), so what you heard was something different...however, the fact you heard that two day in a row proves what the earlier posters wrote about how dangerous construction sites are.

Ah, it was probably made to keep workers safe? Is there a problem with that?
