I agree, but I'm guessing the orginal problem wasn't with the design, it was with funding as the City Center project stumbled along.

I heard months ago that the problems stem from substandard steel being used. Building inspectors refused to sign off during construction.

From the article in post #1:

"The Harmon was originally envisioned as a boutique hotel and condominium tower to open in December 2009 with the rest of the 67-acre complex of hotels, entertainment and a casino. But problems with reinforcing steel in the construction led MGM Resorts to shorten the tower in half and put off its opening at least a year. It never opened."
