Fire at Monte Carlo in Las Vegas
Preliminary reports suggest that the blaze started on the roof and burned off some of the building's façade. The cause of the fire, which was mostly confined to the exterior of the building, is under investigation.
When I turned on the news and saw the live video of the fire burning my first thought were of the MGM Grand Casino fire that occurred on the Strip in November 1980 that killed 89 people. An investigation determined that a sprinkler system could have averted the disaster. New safety laws were passes and all casinos built since that time have sprinklers and smoke alarms installed for safety. The MGM Grand was on the site where Ballys is today.
