PR Newswire (US)
Round-the-Clock Effort Will Have Hotel Ready To Welcome Customers
for Presidents' Day Weekend LAS VEGAS, Feb. 8
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE (NYSE:MGM) announced today
that the Monte Carlo Hotel will reopen its doors for customers on
Friday, February 15. Monte Carlo President and COO Anton Nikodemus
announced the news, saying, "After what can only be described as an
incredible effort by the best team of employees and contractors in
the business, the Monte Carlo family will be in place February 15
to welcome guests for Presidents' Day weekend." Monte Carlo plans
to open with no fewer than 1,200 guest rooms available and
management anticipates an additional 1,300 rooms will become
available by February 22. The remaining 500 rooms in Monte Carlo's
normal 3,000-room inventory are located on the upper floors and
will remain out of service while undergoing more extensive
redesign. The majority of guest services will open on February 15,
including the Monte Carlo Casino, meeting and convention
facilities, the wedding chapel and the Spa & Salon Monte Carlo.
All food and beverage outlets will open on the 15th, with the
exception of the buffet and the Monte Carlo Brew Pub, which will
open as business demands, but no later than the 22nd. Most retail
outlets will open February 15, with all opening no later than the
22nd. Master Magician Lance Burton will resume his long-running
show February 15, in the 1,200-seat Lance Burton Theater.
Remediation work continues both inside and outside the hotel, which
was evacuated and temporarily closed January 25, after a fire
damaged portions of the building's exterior facade. Clark County
firefighters, supported by emergency personnel from around the
valley, quickly extinguished the blaze. Fire suppression efforts
caused water damage to a number of guest rooms and suites.
Approximately 5,000 guests and 1,000 employees were safely
evacuated from the hotel with no serious injuries. Preliminary
results of the Clark County Fire Department's investigation have
determined that welding activity on the hotel roof started the
fire. A total damage figure has not yet been determined. "Monte
Carlo President Anton Nikodemus and the entire Monte Carlo team are
to be commended for their tireless efforts," said Bobby Baldwin,
President and CEO of CityCenter and Chief Design and Construction
Officer for MGM MIRAGE. "Without the leadership, dedication and
perseverance of these individuals, along with the professional
support of the entire MGM MIRAGE family, this rapid turnaround
would not have been possible. This accomplishment is no less than a
testament to their commitment -- both to our customers and to one
another." MGM MIRAGE (NYSE:MGM), one of the world's leading and
