Strip hotels under investigation

Clark county inspectors are investigating remodeling work done at five hotels on the Las Vegas Strip — Bally’s, Caesars Palace, the Imperial Palace, Paris Las Vegas and Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon. The work is thought to have been done without the proper permits. According to a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal, the company has been researching all past projects at its local hotels, even work done by prior owners. During the past two weeks, Harrah’s has voluntarily disclosed to the county all projects that company officials think are suspect, a Harrah’s Entertainment executive said late Friday afternoon. “We brought forward this information as soon as we completed the review, again, fully cooperating with the county,” said Marybel Batjer, Harrah’s vice president of public policy and communications. The company also says it found more questionable work at its other properties last year: Rio, Flamingo Las Vegas and Harrah’s Las Vegas.
