MGM donates Harmon tower to MOGH (Museum of Gaming History)
Dateline: Las Vegas
MGM deeded the never-opened Harmon tower to MOGH, with the understanding that MOGH will build-out and open a museum on the lower floor(s). Above, the space is being reconfigured for convention facilities to host the annual CC>CC chip convention, with the upper floor rooms reserved for members while in town. Clark County thought this was such a great idea, that they waived all taxes and expenses on the property. As Oscar Goodman, former LV city mayor and speaker at a prior convention said, "Those chippers are such great people, we just wanted to support them in a big way."
OK, I'll wake up from my dream now.
