The Harmon Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip never hosted even a single guest, and now, it’s almost a memory.<\/p>\n

\"Harmon
Engineers determined the Harmon would topple in a 7.7-magnitude earthquake. Because Las Vegas gets those, never.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Construction of The Harmon, part of CityCenter, was halted after serious defects were found, and the building has been painstakingly dismantled over time, floor by floor.<\/p>\n

The Harmon was originally supposed to have 49 floors, but in the end, the structure had 28.<\/p>\n

The dismantling of The Harmon is expected to cost $11.5 million.<\/p>\n
