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.

Traffic is backed up all over Las Vegas.
Update #3: No one is trapped anymore.
Update #4: The fire seems to have been contained.

That sucks! I stayed at that hotel about 2 years ago. Wonder were the people who had reservations are going to go now. Sucks to be them.
Re: moron hater –
Moron Hater, I challenge you to a duel…a duel of IQ's…I am obviously a moron, and since you are a hater of morons (hence your name, Moron Hater), we must spar. I will then reveal - exclusively - to Perez who won the duel via this comment board. It will then be up to him whether or not to reveal the winner to the masses.
Perez, What is this exclusively to Perezhilton.com shit, when everybody has the story and it's on the news everywhere?
tee hee.
I had my first gangbang here, god bless
WOW. It must be a slow day for news, Perez
I could see the flames…it was scary
That place is a shithole, but it employees my best friend! I'm in Denver now and it is kinda crazy to see that shit on the news. Hope everyone is okay.
FFS you lot get a grip
hopefully the fire wont cause it to collapse… we've all seen what that looks like. Or maybe they actually want it to go under and there are explosives in the basement. I think I've seen this scam before ::cough:: cough::
I live and work in Vegas. Im at work now and was here at the time the fire started. I know you people want to make a huge deal about this but it wasnt horrible. I work about 2 miles from the Monte Carlo and I never saw any smoke. By the end of the day it will be business as usual. There was no structural damage at all. Oh and Perez who ever your exclusive person you know out here needs to be fired. This was old news by the time you got it. lol
Well, at least they have 4 months to get everything fixed before I stay there in May!! I like the MC. I've stayed there twice.
BET BRITNEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!!!!

ok- I live in vegas and can see the monte carlo from my office- and there have been NO reports of anybody stuck on the roof- the only people up there are firefighters trying to put out the fire- the firefighters have the upper hand now. And traffic isn't that outrageous unless your on the strip. but our whole town doesn't consist of the strip. so things in vegas are going as normal right now…. don't overreact! Geesh
The Monte Carlo in Sin City is ablaze, sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com. - Come on KCAL 9 is not an exclusive. Grow up Perez! You are not a reporter nor a journalist. I love it like people all over the world ring you up to let you in on the scoop. You are always 2 - 3 hours behind the rest. Also ICYDK Castro is still alive wasn't that an exclusive too?
Sources have exclusively revealed to me that Perez is a hack.
So glad you got the EXCLUSIVE on this noteworthy tidbit because I'm sure no other media outlets were reporting this.
"Sources reveal exclusively to Perez"
Get over yourself already. A 30 story building is on fire in the middle of the strip and you're the first to hear about it? Pfft.
We dig the monte Carlo.
We go there several times a year.
Our blessings to the staff.
Vegas Rocks baby!
Who cares! The Bellagio was better and I stayed there.
OMG…I had a gig to perform there this weekend with Suzanne Vega.
Hello, The Greek Giant here in Las vegas, where I am safe and chopping five lines of pure Bolivian cocaine at the Paris Hotel and commanding my fleet of impoverished American Cabana Boys to procure four prostitutes immediately.
This blog must stop saying it is finding news exclusive when I, The Greek Giant, saw this from my palatial suite and on American TV before this blog. It is no more exclusive than those two American hookers last night who claimed to exclusively milk my testicles all over their faces and then gave a handjob to an obese American 'businessman' who is a bankrupt bum with an overdrawn credit card. That is all.
Sodom and Gomorrah is burning!
EXCLUSIVELY MY ASS!!!! CNN and ABC HAD IT WAY BEFORE YOUR FAT ASS DID. JUST BECAUSE YOUR FAG BOYFRIEND FROM VEGAS CALLED TO TELL YOU DOESNT MEAN YOU KNEW FIRST.JESUS, PEREZ IS A DIPSHIT!

WTF? Why is this such a big deal? Supposedly people were still on the first floor gambling despite the fire LOL. Not until buildings start falling will I care.
Omgosh! I was just in Las Vegas this past summer staying at the Monte Carlo! Wow I'm soo glad that it didn't turn out to be anything to serious [people injured, worse damage, exc] That hotel is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in in Las Vegas, and I'm so glad that its all okay!! =] Because I'm going back soon and that is where I will be staying again since it was soo amazing!!
I think Paris plugged her vibrator into the 220 outlet instead of the 110 outlet.
The sucker shorted out, caught her pubes on fire, it spread to the bed, then the whole floor went up.
You did not have an exclusive on this story, you twit, nor on almost everything you copy! The wire services ran it, you picked it up just like everyone else who has a subscription.
that you for the news report, Preze Hilton!
burn
Fucking OJ and his entourage trying to destroy evidence
Celine left Vegas and its already fallin apart
Re: VEGOOSE = HOME – How can you say that the monte carlo is a hole? It is a beautiful hotel…
But, you did say you are in Denver…whatever
This is one of the best hotels on the strip.

NOW GO READ THE TV!
I live here in Vegas, and I could see the huge clouds of smoke about 15 miles away from the strip, from the boutique that I work at. I was just there on Thursday night having dinner…kinda scary.
Hey Perez, love your site. I just returned home from Vegas and my husband and I were staying at the Monte Carlo. We were in the middle of packing when my husband was flipping through the channels and then we saw that the hotel was on fire! We were like holy shit and grabbed our stuff and just ran out of there as fast as we could. The fire alarm was going off but it just kept saying please stand by the incident is being investigated! Then we were herded out to New York New York. We just left for the airport from there and were glad to get back to Canada! It was very scary to see your hotel on fire on the news! Oh well we are safe and glad to be home.
Oh my god!! I was totally there, I was staying there!!! (Pretty scary)
I know who did it- hmm there were iron workers welding up there
I work in a neighboring hotel. It's much worse than it looked. Exterior damage from the melting foam. It wasn't that bad. It won't take long to fix.
My friend and I were staying there! We had to be evacuated, but when the fire alarm went off it just kept saying the "incident was being investigated" so we thought some drunk kid had pulled the fire alarm. Finally when we got outside, were were like "holy crap, our hotel is on fire!!!"
In the end they put us up at the Mandalay Bay, comped our weekend, and gave us free clothes and toiletries! Glad no one was hurt! It was crazy!
