A friend of mine just called me from the Bellagio to tell me. She said the whole strip is shut down.

Sounds like one of Lance Burton's shows went awry to me.

You can now add fire to the mix. Where is Club Rain when you need it?

I hope that everyone got out safely, and that everything is restored.

news says that there are no injuries.... although they still have to check the structure of the building.

The fire was probably started by a bunch of welders working on the roof and the most of the fire was on about the top 5 floors (from the pics on the news).... basically burned out all the high roller suites, that made up the top few floors of it.

couldn't even imagine the whole strip shut down out there.

maybe it's a good thing the horse tournament's at Red Rock.... otherwise it'd have been at ballys, one of the shut down casinos.
