I never thought Michael would do something like this, but it seems the facts are there. He will be in my prayers, but the fact remains "if you play you pay"...I hope justice is done..

We seem to be polarized on the issue of safety and if in fact the rooms are now safer than they were before being fixed. Are you saying that the repairs that have been made thus far at both the Rio & Harrah's Las Vegas Hotels were not needed? I am sure that Mr. Loveman & the in-house attorneys that Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. employs would have put up some sort of fight if that was the case, but again this is only my humble opinion. I am willing to agree to disagree with you. I will point out that some of the violations that were found by the Clark County Building Department & Fire Department were considered major violations as reported by the news media. Furthermore, I have emails from Roman Empire Development employees that state that they were not conducting their projects in the safest of ways. There are witnesses to that fact as well. The simple fact of the matter is this: I filed a complaint that I believed to be true 10 months before I was fired from Harrah's. I have documentation to prove that I contacted numerous personnel within Harrah's to try to remedy this situation, and not one person helped. I have a document in my possession that is signed by Harrah's management personnel giving me permission to contact any agency that I thought was necessary to resolve my complaints...and I did!

I do agree with you about Mr. Loveman not being incompetent, and knowing what to say to the media...that is why they employ really good attorneys just for this type of situation. I can tell you this, Marcellus McRae and Daniel Weiss the attorneys from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher California are top attorneys...money well spent for upper management's protection.

And I'd be willing to bet I don't sound so stupid to most of the people that worked on all of these projects. No, I don't think Mr. Loveman is incompetent but he knows what to say and have published by the press.
Merry Christmas Mr. Frazzetta.

How can you say that I caused this mess? Mike Nasby, Tom Adams, & Mike Whitehead made multiple choices not to pull permits on their remodel projects, even though they knew that they were required to do so by law. Even the other licensed contractors that were involved in these remodels failed to pull permits as required. The law was broken, but to be honest if they had done the work to code it would have been forgiven & forgotten by now. It is the simple fact that they left the rooms in an unsafe condition that has gotten them in the trouble that they are in. It is interesting your suggestion that Upper Management at Harrah's had knowledge of these illegal activities...do you know first hand that this is the case? I am asking you this because if you do I know some people that would like to talk to you, those that come to mind are: the Clark County Building Department, the CC Fire Department, the attorneys working for Harrah's, and of course Joan Whitely. I strongly encourage you to come forward with the information that you have and help resolve this issue once and for all. If you have light to shed on this do so...

The facts thus far clearly show that I have told nothing but the truth, and this has been confirmed by the Clark County Building Department, including Virginia Valentine, County Manager; the CC Fire Department; Penta Construction, and even Gary Loveman, the CEO/President of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. confirmed it in his memorandum which he issued this past week. The very issuing of the Criminal Citations confirms that my allegations were found to be true. I rest my case Harrah's willfully broke the law as evidenced by their illegal actions.

Do you realize how stupid & ignorant you sound? Probably not...it is people like you that allow things like this to happen. What kind of drugs do you do - criminal charges were filed not because of what I have said, but because of what they found once the walls were open. Seeing I had nothing to do with the actual physical inspections or the investigations maybe you should start accusing the Clark County Building Department, the Fire Department, all the Clark County Commissioners, and the RJ of all being in my pocket. That's right I orchestrated the whole thing and I have paid everyone off. The guilty ones that are at the direct center of this Mike Nasby, Mike Whitehead, Tom Adams, Leon Vermillion, and George Kirkwood have not spoken many words...I haven't heard them deny one allegation. To those bright enough to put 2 + 2 together this speaks volumes. If they are so innocent then they have nothing to worry about do they, but both of us know along with most of Las Vegas that this is not the case.

The improper renovation "incidents have been the most disturbing issues I have faced in my five years as CEO," Mr. Loveman said in a memo to all employees Wednesday. It's the job of senior management "to ensure that ethical standards are never sacrificed in pursuit of deadlines or profits." The improper work "may have jeopardized our most precious asset," Mr. Loveman wrote, "the confidence and trust of our guests and employees. ... In the future, all renovation work will be conducted by outside contractors." Enough said...I suppose Mr. Loveman is also: ignorant, vindictive, a liar INCOMPETENT and one of my good sheep. If you ever find the courage...we would love to know your name...

No one is any safer because of you, not employee, not patron. At some point I hope the real truth comes out about you and your ignorant, vindictive, INCOMPETENT, minions. And all you sheep out there…………. What can I say? You have no idea what’s really going on. Don’t tell me that it doesn’t matter what his motives were. In this case it does. Don’t throw out the bull about the difference between stealing a few light bulbs and endangering peoples lives, more bull. No one’s life was in danger, ever, and all the people that lost their jobs know this (including Frazzetta). Now I’m sure I’ll get the Frazzetta & Sheep hysteria machine cranking out more bull! Save it. Get a life, get a job, stop stealing from your employers. By the way, I hear there were more than light bulbs stolen. True???? Oh yeah, that would not be a queston you would not answer.

Why are you still going on with this? The workers and management @ RED were fired, the hotel`s involved are taking corective actions and are making a commitment to ensure the safety of the public. Even Gary Loveman commended you as an employee for bringing up such infractions in his memo to the company and RJ.

I beleive you have alterior motives ones that are of the personell nature I have read every single comment you have made and not one was for the public safety, because if it was you would have quit a long time ago. The real truth is that you were caught stealing from the company and you have a vendetta going you never once said yeah, I did it I was caught stealing did you NO!

Really Fred all you have done is caused one hell of a mess, Mr. Nasby , Mr. Adams and Mike Whitehead were simply doing there jobs and that is taking direct orders from above, and at no time were they or the company officers ever putting the public at risk. Your just a maggate trying to make a name for himself who indulges on thinking you will capitlize on a situation you really don`t know what your talking about.

I belive your a SPEED FREAK that stays up all night and schemes on what to say next, look at when you wrote your last blog 3:04 AM; who the hell is up that late? Fred give it up, everybody is tired of your lies, even Joan Whitely is not behind you like she was.

Fred its 8:35 AM; your probabley asleep dreaming of your next scam, well time is running out on this one, or having nightmares about when karma is gonna get you.

Fred Frazzetta wrote on December 16, 2007 03:04 AM: Here's a list of what Mr. Maddox got right on his inspection report:

He sent the memorandum to the proper people. His name is correct. He went to the right Hotel, and the location of the hotel is correct. He got the name of the Towers correct. I will give him the benefit of the doubt as to the number of rooms he inspected.

This is what is incorrect:

The Cabana Tower was built in four phases - the fourth phase being the extension of Tower II - minor detail. He almost spelled my name right - my name did appear correctly on the original complaint on file, after six long months an easy mistake to make. I had complained about illegal remodel work which was done in all three towers from the 3rd through the 19th floors...I really don't know what got remolded. Actually, in all three towers the floors were standard rooms from the 3rd through the 19th floors per the original plans on record on the Clark County Building Department's very own public computer database - easy mistake to make after six months of obviously in-depth research done by Mr. Maddox. Phase 1 tower was the only tower which had only handicapped rooms located on the third floor...minor detail easily missed. As you can see Mr. Maddox was very thorough with his inspection as he walked 37 rooms in all, but he failed to notate in his report what rooms...I guess another oversight on his part. He does claim that everything matched the approved plans on record...which is totally false. He never identifies the Harrah's personnel that he walked the rooms with...the same ones that told him that it was just a "cosmetic" remodel. It was nice of him to give them a copy of the CC Building Code!
