Sounds like one of Lance Burton's shows went awry to me.

You can now add fire to the mix. Where is Club Rain when you need it?

I hope that everyone got out safely, and that everything is restored.

news says that there are no injuries.... although they still have to check the structure of the building.

The fire was probably started by a bunch of welders working on the roof and the most of the fire was on about the top 5 floors (from the pics on the news).... basically burned out all the high roller suites, that made up the top few floors of it.

couldn't even imagine the whole strip shut down out there.

maybe it's a good thing the horse tournament's at Red Rock.... otherwise it'd have been at ballys, one of the shut down casinos.

Good news. Glad to hear there are no injuries.

I am not sure I would go that far..the Riveria is a sh*thole. But the MC is the first on the list to be revamped by MGM. Once City Center is done I would expect they will re-work the MC. They did have some good microbrews until they closed the brewery and now only serve "others" brews.

Since the MGM owns most of the hotels in that area the impact of losing the MC is minimal.

Agreed Geeker - Haven't been to that hotel in about 5 years, but used to love to stay there, unless it's gone drastically downhill, it is far from a sh*thole.

The standard room at the Monte Carlo leaves a lot to be desired, but the suite I had was quite nice and reasonably priced.

This was 4 years ago, however.
