Construction projects in Las Vegas are often completed on an accelerated schedule. However, a recent media report links the quick pace of construction to accidents and injuries. Observers also note that building too quickly can lead to design errors that require costly building modifications. The Fontainebleau project, for example, began construction before final designs for major building elements were finished. Two years later, some of the project's final designs still aren't completed.
