History

The site where Horseshoe - once Bally’s - Hotel now stands was once the location of the MGM Grand hotel and casino (which is now located down the street).

On November 21, 1980 the MGM burned in a horrific fire in which guests were forced to jump from their rooms because rescue ladders could not reach them above the flames on the upper floors.

The fire started in the kitchen and spread at an astounding 19 feet per second when it raged through the casino. A total of 85 people were killed in the fire making the MGM Grand the second worst hotel fire in US history.

 

Paranormal Activity

Apparitions of former guests of the MGM are said to wander the halls at night, light anomalies, phantom footsteps and noises, smell and sound of flames and smoke and cries for help.
