It's being reported that one person is dead, 18 hurt, and 3 people unaccounted for :-(

Livestream reporting here:

Looks like Hard Rock was working with a local developer, Kailas Companies, on the hotel, which was also supposed to contain actual residences for sale in addition to hotel rooms.

Here's the developer's website, though I couldn't find a write up about the Hard Rock project on their site.

Here are more companies that were reportedly working on it:

Harry Baker Smith Architects II, PLLC

Citadel Builders

Developers: Denzel Clark of Citadel Builders, C. Mohan Kailas of Kailas Companies & Todd Trosclair of All Star Electric, Inc.

Another video of the Hard Rock collapse and the dust that filled the air.

Hmm, I wonder if this person is linked to Kailas Companies and/or related to Mohan Kailas... 🧐

In 2013, a Praveen Kailas was charged & convicted for conspiracy & theft of HUD funds related to Hurricane Katrina using his company, Lago Construction.

Whoop, there it is! They are, indeed, related!

"Praveen Kailas, the son of Mohan Kailas..."

Of course this isn't any sort of proof of anything regarding today's Hard Rock collapse, but at least this one family member has a shady past,
Here's the Citadel Builders website and their blurb about work on the Hard Rock, including more info on the project team:
