Abstract	Immediately after the MGM Grand Hotel fire occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the morning of November 21, 1980, the NFPA expressed interest in a systematic study of the responses of the hotel's guests during the fire. The four-page questionnaire consisted of 28 check-off, fill-in, and completion items. On the last page was a diagram of the Tower-floor arrangement of the hotel on which guests were asked to indicate their movements within the building and their egress route from the building. This questionnaire was developed from an interview questionnaire previously used and from the questionnaire used by the NFPA after the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire of 1977.
