Around midnight I headed back to the lobby of the Casino to walk the long hallway where the old restaurants were and the Ballrooms are. All of the hallways have an odd feeling, but this one particular hallway feels particularly heavy.
No matter how many photos I took I could not get these doors or the emergency phone bank closest to them to take a clear photo. Heavy energy here. The volunteer firefighter/EMT who's funeral photos I bought on ebay because it bothered me they were on there died in this area trying to save others. RIP William Gerbosi.
I recognized this booth from one of the vintage photos. Pretty wild its still there.

Elevator on the left is the one Dave was stuck in. It wouldn't come for me.
I did an EVP session facing the elevator bank at around 1:30 am. I didn't feel alone.
I got up from the elevators and moved over to this seating area in the lobby, I felt like I still had someone with me. I continued my EVP session here and got up to take a photo back down the hall towards our room as I felt company.
These long vents in the hallway is part of what made the hotel such a death trap. The way the design was made cut corners (it has since been retrofitted correctly, one of the safest places to stay now!) and the toxic smoke pumped into rooms and hallways through these.
We carefully reviewed all the rest of the audio from my midnight to 2am sessions. The AC units were running near the staircases and the wooshing was way too loud to hear anything they might have been saying. The only EVP we got was the one upon first entering the room.
It is my sincere hope that our efforts to remember everyone who died in the terrible MGM Fire are not offensive or painful for any of the victims' family or friends (living or otherwise), or any of the other spirits of the old MGM Hotel. We truly feel connected to the grounds and plan on staying there again and again in the future.
I'll never forget the terror these people went through fighting for their lives. Some of them sadly still seem to be stuck fighting.
