A fire broke out today on the roof of the Monte Carlo hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip and quickly spread, forcing guests and employees to flee before firefighters got the upper hand.A spokesman for the hotel owner, MGM Mirage, says the fire also forced a closure of the casino. Clark County spokesman Eric Pappa says no major injuries were reported, and reports of workers trapped on the roof were incorrect.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the fire merely burned the resort's facade or penetrated rooms in the upper floors, which contain suites.
Pappa says county officials were told welders were working on the roof of the building before the fire. But he says the cause of the fire has not been determined. He says fire was contained in the west wing.
