Quote of the Day

“The responsibility for everything that takes place upon a property [is on] the owners of that property — regardless of whether it’s regulated by a specific code or not. It is perhaps prudent that they consider what transpired.” — Clark County Department of Building & Fire Prevention Director Ron Lynn on the fake plants at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, which flunked indoor fire-resistance tests (the plants, not the Cosmo). Although there are no Clark County regulations governing such materials, the Cosmo is removing all fake foliage and expects to be finished in early 2016.
