Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City Parking Garage Beltovator

Hidden behind a door with an “authorized personnel only” sign in the Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City parking garage, protected only by a simplex lock, is an old-fashioned manlift (also known as a beltovator). These types of personnel lifts are extremely dangerous, and unlike a paternoster, it is possible for a passenger to be severely injured if they do not step off at the top or bottom of the hoistway. It is also a very unusual place to have a beltovator because the passenger elevator bank is adjacent to this. It did not seem to be used frequently, if at all, and remained in the same position for the entire 3-day duration of my most recent visit.
