Litigation over CityCenter’s half-built, never-opened Harmon Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip will stretch into 2014 as result of Clark County District Eight Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez’s recent order reversing prior demolition approval. The case to resolve defects with the $275-million, oval-shaped glass tower had been set for June 2013.
CityCenter co-owner and manager MGM Resorts International wants to conduct more testing for its construction defects case against Sylmar, Calif.-based general contractor Tutor Perini Building Corp. At the same time, Tutor Perini is countersuing for $191 million in unpaid bills related to the overall $8.5-billion, 18-million-sq-ft CityCenter complex, which opened in Dec. 2009.
