Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill said the accident occurred about 3 p.m. Tuesday at the building site of the MGM CityCenter, a $7 billion mixed-use megaresort, which began construction last year and is scheduled to open in 2009. MGM Mirage spokeswoman Alan Feldman said the company is working with state occupational safety officials to determine what caused the wall form to fall. CityCenter will occupy 66 acres on the Las Vegas Strip, contain seven towers and was projected to create 7,000 construction jobs.
