Vegas Gang #6 - Fred Frazetta - April 17th, 2008

April 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Welcome back! Once again we have a guest and this time its a potential life and death issue. Is there a problem in the way the building safety standards are applied and practiced in Las Vegas? We have Fred Frazetta, the whistleblower responsible for bringing the issue of Harrah’s alleged non-permitted renovations to light.

We cover not only Harrah’s but also the Monte Carlo fire and the non-response to a very scary and potentially life threatening scenario.

Lastly, we touch on both Danny Gans moving to Wynn Las Vegas and on the ongoing courtroom battle between Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands and a Chinese consultant that claims he helped to make Macau happen for LVS.
