[history]
Fire crews on top of the 3,000-room hotel at 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. S. are trying to contain the blaze, which broke out shortly after 11 a.m.
Four welders who were working on the roof were trapped there, but they were recently rescued.
The blaze began at the top of the hotel and has spread down into four different parts, including the roof, a top corner of the building and a couple of floors down from the roof. There are 32 floors and about 3,000 people staying at the hotel, which is owned by MGM Mirage.

It doesn’t look like there was much fire in the interior of the building. I would put my money on workers starting a fire on the roof, causing the fake facade to catch fire, spreading across the roof.

Could be. If it’s not “the” high-roller suite, it’s probably one (or more) of them.

The area that burned is just a false wall that shields the air conditioning units from view.

Two very close friends are due to check into the Bellagio today. What a way to start a vacation.

You were still doing better than I was...I was wondering why the heck they were evacuating NY if the fire was in NV. I’ve never been to Vegas so I wasn’t aware of NYNY, LOL!
To: VegasBaby
I know that is what the posts are saying...just letting you know what Fox is reporting.
