Vegas Is On Fire!

Filed under: Sin City

The Monte Carlo in Sin City is ablaze, sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com.

"There's a big cloud of black smoke above the hotel," a Vegas insider tells us. "It's very scary."

No word yet on what started the fire. Or the damage it caused/is causing the property.

Update: Sources tell us the hotel is being evacuated.

Four Monte Carlo employees are stuck on the roof.

Fire crews are on the scene.

The inferno first broke out around 11 A.M.

Update #2: The fire appears to be spreading. This is not looking good!

Traffic is backed up all over Las Vegas.

Update #3: No one is trapped anymore.

Update #4: The fire seems to have been contained.

Perez, i've always been an avid reader of your website, and i just wanted to say that you are FABULOUS, and i love you! thanks for always putting the top stories onto your website, and for working so hard to provide us with this information. I love how you call Jessica Alba, "Dont Call Me Latina". And you even provide us with information on the "Z-List" celebrities, information thats pretty hard to find. LOL

I can see it out of my upstairs window - spreading fast! If you live in Vegas, they are telling everyone to stay at home/work - I guess the freeways are all getting backed up, too.

GUYS. Focus on whats important, the actual fire. Quit crying about who taddled the story first. I was just watching the news and it said that according to one source people are trapped on the roof. They made it clear it was Perez's website. Therefore its an exclusive. Now quit crying and just pray that the fire doesnt spread any further and kill people!
Sources Exclusively Reveal???? says – reply to this

55

Perez…you're being ridiculous and losing any bit of credibility trying to tell us "the real news". This story was on the new 30 minutes ago and is now on almost every news channel non-stop. Don't you need to give that photo a credit to CNN or something?

carrie says – reply to this

68

sorry, you kinda lose credibility when you use phrases like "The Monte Carlo in Sin City is ablaze, sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com." and "Vegas insider". This isn't exclusive, nor is it from an insider. NOW, if it's from the person who started the fire and they called you while actually starting the fire, then maybe ya can get away with it.

Why are you even commenting on real world news? You have no credit with news reporting. Just make your little gossip comments and leave real news for people who know what is actually happening.
