MGM Grand Hotel Fire Anniversary - Part 2

[JillC2]

The older parts have the same feel that Incendio (1974) had.

I lost a very dear co-worker and her husband in this fire. They took separate flights for the vacation, so if one should die in a plane accident their kids would still have a parent. Sadly they both were found dead in an elevator. Her St. Francis Hospital grieved along with all who were struck by this tragic event.

@puddlepuppy82 Iam so sorry for your lose in the fire. I was 15 years old and staying in the hotel with my mom when the fire broke out. A horrible experience for us and everyone else in the fire and the heartbreaking loss of life. To this day I still have a tremendous fear of fire. Have been back to the hotel once since it became Ballys , but dont think I could ever stay in that hotel again. We usually stay at the Mandalay when in Vegas.

Thanks for posting this. Informative, and the very old look gave it a rather eerie feel.

Hard to believe I go in Bally's all the time and realize that a major fire happened there 30 years ago...
