Question of the Day — 3 Oct 2016

I like gambling at the Fremont Hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but the last several times that I have been there, I have noticed a strong vibration in the women's restroom near the buffet. The vibration is so bad that the stalls are shaking and rattling. It has been like this since at least June of this year, when I first noticed it. It could be longer, though. I am just wondering if an old building like this can handle a strong vibration for this many months without damage being done to the structure of the whole building. It feels like a constant earthquake that never stops. Can you check this out and tell me if this is something to worry about? I feel like it could collapse at any moment.

According to Boyd Gaming spokesman David Strow, yours is the first complaint received about the restroom in question.

"I believe the issue is that there's an engineering workshop right below the restrooms."

Down there, Boyd's maintenance men could be cutting carpeting, fabricating plumbing fixtures, repairing equipment, assembling furniture, or performing any number of other maintenance chores.

"There is absolutely no rift to the structure of the building," Strow insists. "The Fremont has been there for sixty years and will no doubt be there quite some time longer."

This is the rare instance when the question is longer than the answer, but without being able to examine the problem for ourselves (Question of the Day is now an all-male province), we'll have take Boyd's word for it.
