A worker was injured this morning at a CityCenter construction site after he fell down a flight of stairs and landed in a basement area. He was conscious and breathing and complaining of back and shoulder pain, said Clark County Fire Department spokesperson Scott Allison.

Allison said the injuries are not life threatening. First responders transported the worker to UMC, said Allison. No word on what caused him to fall down the stairs.

CityCenter, an MGM Mirage development, has been the site of six worker deaths. Workers walked off the site last month due to safety concerns. Two workers were injured earlier this month when a lift toppled over.
