In Las Vegas, MGM-Mirage's has been planning to create an $8.5 billion complex of shops, condos and boutique hotels that is set to open in December. The building has been designed by a small group of "world-renowned architects and anchored by a 4,000-room hotel casino". The creation of this new resort will lead to the hiring of 12,000 people. "Michael Peltyn, CityCenter's Vice President of human resources, describes [it] as the 'single biggest hiring opportunity in the history of the U.S.'" And with the unemployment rate in Nevada at 13.2%, it's bound to help. "The company has already offered 4,000 of those jobs to current MGM employees (95% of whom accepted)". Many of the new employed have had their unemployment ran out, and are desperate to find a job. "The project, however, has been plagued by mishaps: construction-worker deaths, a near bankruptcy, and defects at one tower, the Harmon, that resulted in plans to lop off its upper 21 stories, but MGM-Mirage says the project is in good shape." "It's one of the nicest hotels, not only in Las Vegas but in the country, if not the world. Regardless of the rough economy, I think we'll still be successful," Marc Beltran, says after getting hired as a front-service bellman.
