By now you’ve most likely heard about the fire at the Monte Carlo on the Las Vegas Strip on Friday morning. They were very lucky in that it was fully contained in a short time, and that most of the damage was on the outside of the building.

The bad news is that while they originally thought they could at least open up the casino that night, they found that the fire officials won’t let them reopen until the exterior facade has either been removed or secured. Basically, they are worried about pieces falling down onto the ground and potentially hurting someone. So, until this is taken care of, the entire casino must stay closed.

On a good note, this past Friday and Saturday customers were allowed to go to their rooms to get their belongings. Unfortunately, they must now stay at other hotels!

Hopefully they will be able to get everything fixed quickly so they can reopen. I’m sure a lot of people can’t wait until they do so!

They still don’t know what caused the fire, but will be looking into it.
