F1: Worker killed at temporary Vegas Strip auto race grandstand construction site identified
The HinduA worker who died during the weekend of an injury received at a temporary Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix grandstand construction site at the Bellagio resort fountains was identified on Monday by authorities. Las Vegas police reported on Saturday the worker was pronounced dead at University Medical Center after receiving what was described as a “severe laceration” on his neck. Workers are building a massive spectator area in front of the Bellagio resort, where trees were removed in recent weeks and road surfaces are being repaved for the inaugural Formula One Las Vegas race — scheduled November 16-18 on a 3.8-mile road course that includes parts of the Las Vegas Strip. Representatives with Bellagio casino operator MGM Resorts International and the Las Vegas Grand Prix did not respond Monday to email and telephone requests for comment.
