the Monte Carlo hotel and casino is actually still burning the last time I checked. at one point you could see the flames from the Thomas and Mack, from henderson you can see the smoke and fortunately no injuries have been reported. Floors 15 and above have been evacuated and floors 15 and bellow are still being evacuated.
Darn.
I was hoping that this would be about stochastic variables in oxidation reactions. This is much worse.
It says 17 hurt, so it sounds like no fatalities, which is good.
last I heard among the confirmed minor injuries there were 8 engineers and 5 guests, I'll assume the rest were fire fighters & or Monte Carlo employees.
