Nevada OSHA found violations at the Monte Carlo, which appear to be related to safe emergency exiting, during separate inspections in 2003, 2005 and 2007.

Stephen Coffield, in the state agency's Green Valley office, declined to comment on the applicability of those inspections to circumstances of Friday's fire at the Monte Carlo, during which all occupants of the building were evacuated. He is acting chief administrative officer of Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

    • In March, the agency recorded two nonserious violations against the hotel, according to the federal OSHA Web site. OSHA levied no fines against the hotel in connection with the case, which it had opened in January 2007. The federal coding suggests the violations involved some aspect of exit routes, emergency action plans or fire prevention plans.

    The Monte Carlo also incurred three nonserious violations, with no fines, from OSHA in two other cases that were opened in March 2005 and September 2003.

    The OSHA web site also shows an OSHA inspection of the Monte Carlo as recently as Jan. 10. That case was opened and closed in a single day, with no violations found.

    A total of eight OSHA inspections have taken place at the Monte Carlo since September 2003, according to an online database.
