Top 4 floors are gone! and no firefights on scene yet!
Pretty fucked up!

NosMo

Flaming stuff is falling from the roof, have no idea if anyone is trapped in there.

NosMo

The Penthouse Suite had some Anal Hobbit parties it looks like.

there's a fire in a house... yeah!

Jesus! The Monte Carlo is a nice hotel too. Why don't they just pump some water from the aquarium up to the top floors?

Sprinkler system not working too hot...

What the fuck was that falling from the window in CNN??

Anyone else just see that?? HOLY SHIT..

Was that a person?

Thanks for the link Boneprone, I am watching that channel here in Vegas. Pretty major shit is going down. I am having MGM flashbacks. I am abot 3 miles away from the Monte Carlo at work....

NosMo

Not sure what that was, and now the sign is on fire.....such a shame.

NosMo

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO GO AND LOOT..

Steal some shit!!

If I was in there i would not evacuate. Id look where I could go to steal some shit!

Where are the Negros at running out with TV's and shit?

This is an MGM property right? Too bad this wasnt happening on a fight night.

There would be looting, fighting, shooting.

It would be great.

wow that spread fast!!!!

you seriously need to stop following yourself around in these threads. :winkwink:

Was only 12 years old too. spreading like mad, strip is shut down. I can see it from my front door.

NosMo

Too bad the fire didnt start lower and work its way up.

I dont think the place will "burn down"

But its hard to get water in there thats why its spreading.

Damn, I just left Vegas yesterday - missed all the drama....

I hope no one is sleeping in with earplugs wanting a late checkout.

Looks like the work of minusonebit

I blame Terrorism. AlQaida hits Vegas!!

Terror on the Strip 2008

So not funny. It looks like it is still out of control, the firefighters are getting their asses kicked right now.


NosMo

They Monaco Suites are getting destroyed.

My bad. I meant to log out and login as Anal Hobbit to post that one.

I dropped the ball.

But I do Blame Terrorism..

Or worse. Arson.

Looks like the fire has been contained.

maybe ktnv.com needed something to test their livefeeds

Some brave ass firefighters, leaning out windows to get water on the fire. Crazy mofo's but they are bad ass!


NosMo

I had my worst losing streak down on their tables.

Hope my money helps them at least buy a new chair or something. :winkwink:

that hotel has all of the latest firefighting gear.. sprinklers, hose couplings (floor to roof)

Looks like they are getting on top of it. way less smoke.

NosMo

still a lot of black smoke coming from the right side....but a lot less flames. Just hope no one was killed.

NosMo

I thought we'd see more fire the way it was going.



I bet the hotels in Old town Downtown would spread a lot faster. Monte Carlo does have some excellent fire sprinklers it seems.

Good feed here

Seems most of the whale suites are gone. some workers maybe trapped on the roof.

NosMo

This is all the more reason to secure our borders I feel.

Its out - no more smoke.

all done, that was quick

I was at the home depot and came out and saw all this black smoke, got back to the office and told NosMo and Sebastian something is on fire on the strip and turned on the news and saw the Monte Carlo in flames, and it was going fast, thank god the winds where not strong or it would be way worst.

Damn, not good at all... :(

I went outside for a minute and could smell the smoke.

From the office we could see the smoke and flames
it's bunging up traffic pretty good in this part of town too
We're a little bit off the strip on Trop

Now they think it was started by welders on the roof. I think someone just lost their jobs. But it looks like no one was hurt badly. which is great since the Monte Carlo was at 97% occupancy. of 3002 rooms. Fucking lucky! Now it is just another day in Vegas. You just can not drive down the strip.

NosMo

Here is the local tv stations user upload area, They are asking for any video that people might of shot of the fire.

Might be worth taking a look at.

NosMo

Damn, that was a lucky escape then.

Vegas seems so damn busy all year round...
