This just in: the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas is on fire. Stay tuned for pictures, coming as soon as wireless networks will allow.
Update: Photo credits Jason Gordy. “Fire started just before 11am. ” “[not a terrorist attack], noone’s hurt, everyone’s rescued, nobody’s trapped. Traffic is blocked for 2 miles around the casino, every road barricaded. The fire was in the South wing.”
Update 2: Jason Gordy live on KNBC! http://www.knbc.com/videostream/10954229/detail.html

Oh my gosh! Did a plane hit it? Is this a terrorist attack??
Fred: my friend on location reports “no, noone’s hurt, everyone’s rescued, nobody’s trapped. Traffic is blocked for 2 miles around the casino, every road barricaded. The fire was in the South wing.”
Can you send me a larger version of this photo. My name is Carl and I wanted to crop it and use it as a profile picture.

BTW nice pictures. Better than any other site I’ve seen.
Some of my fellow vwvortex.com buddies have reservations at this hotel in the coming months. Hopefuly they will be taken care of!
