Talk about an overpriced place!! If there was ever a place where you did not get your money's worth, ANY melting pot would be it.
You can not overcharge the customer on a regular basis like that and then expect to stay in business. Customers talk with their wallets.
They are not paying their contractors in Miami, so why would anyone think they would pay them in Las Vegas. Howard Karawan was the face that was used for all the news stories in Miami. If he is talking, I would have someone check every word he says.
The local news channel did a story on how FB spent $5 million on their grand opening and still have not paid their contractors. For the last several months, all they say is that the auditors are checking the books before anyone gets paid.
So I hate to say it, but you guys that are owed money are going to learn that ()this was your butt before Fountainbleau, and ( ) this is you butt after dealing with Fountainbleau.
""This is a brazen attempt to extract an unwarranted payment from Fontainebleau," resort spokesman Dave Satterfield said"
That's funny. They said the same thing at the fountainbleau in Miami when they didn't pay their contractors for that job as well. Gee, I think I am seeing a pattern here.
I am a very small contractor and am in the process of starting court litigation against them for non payment. Only problem is, I am in a long line of those who didn't get paid.
Did OSHA go through the site with a seeing eye dog? 42 companies on site and only 42 violations! And even then, they were either dismissed or the fines reduced. On a multi-billion dollar project, who cares about $66k?
If workers are waiting to be protected by Nevada OSHA, they will be waiting one long, long time. When you have 6 fatalities and then are still allowed to negotiate a $6800 fine down to $2200, why should Perini change anything?
And the unions are not without blame here either. Just try taking some disciplinary action like sending a guy home or banning him from the jobsite for safety violations and see how fast they are at the front door complaining!!

I am a contractor in Miami. My invoice was sent to Vegas to be paid. Why? And by the way, no it has not been paid. Just like all the rest.
