The Bear Growls:
Harrah’s apparently put patrons’ lives at risk to save a few dollars

The latest incident involving shameful corporate behavior by Harrah’s is mind-boggling. Though the story is still unfolding, what is known so far is reprehensible. When Harrah’s remodeled some floors of the Rio, it managed to avoid county building and safety inspections. According to news reports, apparently Harrah’s personnel or contractors blatantly lied to the county about the scope of the remodeling, or the county inspectors were so incredibly inept they failed to see an entire floor being gutted.
After a whistle-blower exposed the wrongdoing, it appears that Clark County tried to cover it up. It is not yet known whether this was an internal coverup of its own incompetence by the county, or whether Harrah’s is involved in the coverup. It appears that a combination of both is most likely.
