Governor to meet with Perini about MGM Mirage payment
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Governor Jim Gibbons will meet with Perini Building Co. and its subcontractors May 21 in Las Vegas to discuss claims that MGM Mirage owes money for work completed on CityCenter, a spokesman for the governor's office confirmed late Saturday.
Perini on Tuesday sent a nine-page letter asking the governor's office to investigate why MGM Mirage is not paying more than $500 million the builder claims it and nearly 600 subcontractors are owed.
It is not known if MGM Mirage is invited to the meeting or has requested a separate meeting with the governor.
Perini and MGM Mirage have not responded to an early morning request for comment.
Perini has filed a lawsuit in Clark County District Court and a master lien of nearly $500 million on the project. Many subcontractors continued to file individual liens against CityCenter through last week.
MGM Mirage has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
