Question: Which of the three worst hotel fires in modern US History occurred most recently?

Passages:
Tornadoes are fairly uncommon in the US region of New England.  Fewer tornadoes are recorded here than anywhere else east of the Rocky Mountains.  However, these deadly and destructive storms do occur; on average, about eight tornadoes are reported in the region each year.  Almost 200 people have been killed by these storms in recorded history, and two of the ten most destructive tornadoes in US history occurred in this region. The Penhallow Hotel was situated on Island Crescent in the surfing town of Newquay, Cornwall, United Kingdom.  It was a well-known hotel for holiday makers ranging from families to older residents.  The hotel was built sometime between 1912 and 1917 and had been altered several times during its operation as a hotel.  The building had a wooden fire escape at the rear, and a central light shaft running from the ground floor up to the roof in the centre of the hotel.  Both of these aspects of the building played a dramatic role in the outcome of the fire.  The Penhallow Hotel fire was reported as the worst hotel fire in the UK in nearly 40 years. This is an incomplete list of military confrontations that have occurred within the boundaries of the modern US State of Kentucky since European contact.  The region was part of New France from 1679 to 1763, ruled by Great Britain from 1763 to 1783, and part of the United States from 1783 to present. This is an incomplete list of military and other armed confrontations that have occurred within the boundaries of the modern US State of Montana since European contact.  The region was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain from 1535 to 1679, New France from 1679 to 1803, and part of the United States of America from 1803–present. Hotel fires in the United States have had significant repercussions.  For example, on January 10, 1883, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a hotel fire killed 80 people.  A few weeks earlier Lucius W. Nieman had become editor of "The Daily Journal", now the "Milwaukee Journal".  The newspaper told the "appalling story of neglect, falsehood, manipulation, and concealing of truth that had preceded the tragedy".  According to Nieman, it was the reporting of that story that gave his paper a fair share of the Milwaukee newspaper readers, who also had two political and three German newspapers. This is an incomplete list of military and other armed confrontations that have occurred within the boundaries of the modern US State of Kansas since European contact.  The region was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain from 1535–1679, New France from 1679–1803, and part of the United States of America 1803–present. This list of battles fought in Colorado is an incomplete list of military and other armed confrontations that have occurred within the boundaries of the modern US State of Colorado since European contact.  The region was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain from 1535 to 1682, New France from 1682 to 1762, Kingdom of Spain from 1762 to 1800, French First Republic 1800 to 1803, and part of the United States of America 1803–present (boundaries were disputed by Spain).  The southern portion of Colorado was considered by Spain as part of its northern territories.  Large portions of Colorado were subsequently under the administrative control of Mexico from 1800 to 1835, and the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1846.  Full administrative control of Colorado was established on February 2, 1848 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the Mexican–American War. The MGM Grand fire occurred on November 21, 1980 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (now Bally's Las Vegas) in Paradise, Nevada, USA.  The fire killed 85 people, most through smoke inhalation.  The tragedy remains the worst disaster in Nevada history, and the third-worst hotel fire in modern U.S. history, after the 1946 Winecoff Hotel fire in Atlanta that killed 119 people and the Dupont Plaza Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico fire on December 31, 1986, in which 97 perished. The Winecoff Hotel fire of December 7, 1946, was the deadliest hotel fire in United States history, killing 119 hotel occupants, including the hotel's owners.  Located at 176 Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, United States, the Winecoff Hotel was advertised as "absolutely fireproof".  While the hotel's steel structure was indeed protected against the effects of fire, the hotel's interior finishes were combustible, and the building's exit arrangements consisted of a single stairway serving all fifteen floors.  All of the hotel's occupants above the fire's origin on the third floor were trapped, and the fire's survivors either were rescued from upper-story windows or jumped into nets held by firemen.  The fire was notable for the number of victims who jumped to their deaths.  A photograph of one survivor's fall won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize for Photography.  The fire – which followed the June 5, 1946, La Salle Hotel fire in Chicago (with 61 fatalities), and the June 19, 1946, Canfield Hotel fire in Dubuque, Iowa (with 19 fatalities) – spurred significant changes in North American building codes, most significantly requiring multiple protected means of egress and self-closing fire-resistive doors for guest rooms in hotels.

The region was part of New France from 1679–1763, ruled by Great Britain from 1763–1783, and part of the United States of America 1783–present.
