Las Vegas strip hotels were put on pause yesterday as the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino burned. The three alarm blaze was contained but not before it burned up many of the upper floor rooms. There has been no news surrounding the cause of this fire but it is apparent that it started somewhere near the top of the thirty two story hotel. Reports have said that the hotel will be closed for an unknown amount of time but the casino will be reopened before that.

 I expect to see some Las Vegas deals to the Monte Carlo when they announce the reopening or at least some Las Vegas coupons. I wonder what the guests who were staying the hotel during the time of the fire received. They were probably moved into another MGM owned property so if you are looking for Las Vegas packages for this weekend from MGM properties make a call to the hotel beforehand. This fire may make the Monte Carlo just a Las Vegas casino for awhile. I have attached a video taken during the Monte Carlo fire yesterday.
