A fire at Las Vegas' Monte Carlo hotel-casino was extinguished shortly after an hour Friday. According to authorities, the three-alarm fire was reported shortly before 11 a.m. local time on the roof of the resort. Several top floors of the building were ablaze and had been evacuated. Initial reports did not indicate that anyone was injured or trapped in the blaze. Patrons and workers have been evacuated from the Monte Carlo, while people at The Bellagio and New York-New York casinos were preparing to leave if necessary. The Monte Carlo, located at 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. South, offers 3,002 guest rooms, including 211 suites. The fire had a much better outcome than the infamous MGM Grand fire of Nov. 21, 1980. In that blaze, 84 people perished and nearly 700 were injured. It was the second largest loss of life hotel fire in U.S. history. The 1980 fire resulted in major lawsuits against the hotel. The majority of the suits were settled for around $105 million. Reports say MGM Grand was insured for some $30 million in liability insurance at the time of the deadly blaze.
