In , a federal trial in Los Angeles charged Anthony Joseph Zerilli and Michael Polizzi, two members of the Detroit Mafia Family, of concealing an ownership stake in The Frontier.

It was bought by Howard Hughes, the American business magnate who was once one of the richest people in the world. He died in In , the resort was bought from the company created to manage the Hughes Corporation assets by Margaret Elardi.

She began downscaling as it became no longer financially viable. He immediately changed the name back to the New Frontier.

Ruffin had plans to demolish the resort and build a new one in its place but the downturn following the September 11th attacks stymied the plans.

He teamed up with Donald Trump to build the Trump Hotel Las Vegas on some of the property. In May , The New Frontier Hotel and Casino was purchased by El Ad Properties and demolished just 2 months later.

Various plans surfaced thereafter but none came to fruition. The site was purchased by Wynn Resorts in although no further plans were announced at the time.

The sign outside the resort. The mud wrestling at Gilleys was quite popular. The following are reviews from TripAdvisor —. And oddly enough, that brought a lot of charm to the place.

It felt like old Vegas. But, the oldness also brought a lack of amenities and treatment that you expect with a Vegas hotel.

The showiness was missing. The old slots and carpets made it feel dirty, even though it was cleaned often, as witnessed by seeing the cleaning staff running around.

If you are looking for a time machine trip, this is your place. Otherwise, get somewhere more modern. It was the nastiest place, they should charge by the hour.

I had no choice but to stay here as I was in Vegas for a conference and all the hotels on the strip were booked except for this dump, now I know why.

You can watch the demolition of the hotel as well as an internal video from when it was abandoned below.

Your email address will not be published. The Harmon was designed by British architect Norman Foster, one of seven starchitects tapped to work on these modern towers—which were meant to feel unique from each other, like an actual city skyline.

It was originally planned to be 49 stories of hotel rooms and luxury residences, some of which were already sold long before work on the tower had a started.

But in , after 15 stories were built, inspectors discovered a serious problem with the building's structural integrity: The rebar had been installed improperly, and the building's height was slashed to 25 stories.

Construction continued, and a new opening was planned for That was, until an engineering report determined that the building was likely to collapse in a major earthquake.

Work ceased indefinitely. So why tear it down now? Although MGM Resorts which owns CityCenter had announced its plans to demolish the hotel as far back as , and the county approved the razing request last year, the developers have been embroiled in legal battles as well as disputes about the best way to take the hotel down.

Don't expect a huge Vegas-style implosion. According to Architectural Record , The Harmon will be dismantled floor-by-floor over the next year.

I remember visiting CityCenter for the opening in , and even with all the glitz and fanfare, it was unsettling to see the most visible portion of the complex looming above, unfinished.

But it wasn't that unusual , as I would come to discover. The real estate boom meant that developers flooded the city with rooms, leading to accusations that hoteliers were overbuilding the market.

The following recession was paired with a spike in construction costs and many ambitious developments could never scrape together the cash to get the job done.

Vegas remains filled with plenty of empty, incomplete structures—you can count the motionless cranes from your hotel room. The confident Cosmopolitan with the lopped-off Harmon next door.

I remember touring around the Harmon and hearing the buzzy PR-speak about how this would be the sleek, exclusive boutique hotel that would change the Strip—all while I was intrigued by an interesting building I was watching going up on the adjacent parcel.

Breathing onto the back of the Harmon's unfinished neck was another slender, blue-glass tower that soared to the full height the Harmon was once supposed to achieve.

It was similar in looks but even more similar in spirit: The Cosmopolitan was also an urban-themed, design-focused hotel. Five years later, The Cosmopolitan has managed to not only steal the spotlight from the Harmon, it has cultivated a personality and following that the bland CityCenter properties—for all their star power—never managed to attain.

The Harmon was doomed early on by its faulty rebar, but perhaps its ultra-successful neighbor was the real kiss of death.
