Just saw on the news. Top 3 - 5 floors appear to be burning. Crazy.

I'm not sure, but I think I saw someone jump to their death on CNN.

Doubtful. I've seen quite a few big pieces of embers and stuff falling down.

I hope that's all that was. It looked like someone was climbing out trying to move over to the side then fell.

"The fire has disrupted at least one wedding. We saw the bride running out the front door in her wedding dress. This isn't a good start to a marriage."

Just coming in to post this. I just got back from Vegas Monday. Any idea what happened?

[Deftones]

BTW, Cnn.com has a live feed of it.

That fucker spreads fast, they should consider not coating the walls of the place with gasoline

Looks like it's just burning the face, and not the actual structure. Lots of smoke & water damage, but probably not a lot of structural problems...

Fire Breaks Out at Monte Carlo Resort on Las Vegas Strip

Flames and plumes of black smoke could be seen on what appeared to a west-facing rooftop of the resort.

The fire was spreading from the center section of the hotel across the roof line.

Las Vegas fire spokesman Tim Szymanski says city and county firefighters were on the scene. The fire was reported just before 11 a.m.

A dispatcher at American Medical Response said ambulances were being dispatched to the scene, but said there were no immediate reports of injuries.

MGM Mirage, the casino's owner, had no immediate information about the blaze.
