From CNN:

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Sections of the top four floors of the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas were on fire Friday.

Smoke rises from the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Firefighters could be seen on the roof of the hotel.

Most of the flames appeared to be coming from the southern section of the hotel.

Black smoke was billowing into the air and was visible from more than a mile away, CNN producer Darian Billington said.

He said traffic was backed up on the Strip, and crowds of people were gathering to watch the blaze.

That was the first (and only place so far) I've stayed in Vegas.

Weird to see it burning.

not too pissed, since there are a million other hotels on the strip.
