Monte Carlo Fire - info and contact number
As promised, the Public Affairs office of the Monte Carlo forwarded their press updates here to us at the HotelsByCity.net Las Vegas blog.
Here is some of the initial information, released on the afternoon of Jan. 25:
"At approximately 11 a.m. today, a fire began at Monte Carlo. The Clark County Fire Department and all of its support teams did a tremendous job of responding quickly and effectively. We are grateful to these men and women for their incredible effort.
Although the initial fire was isolated along the property’s roofline, property president Anton Nikodemus ordered an immediate evacuation of the entire property so as to ensure the safety of all of our guests and employees.
The evacuation of our hotel guests went very smoothly. We provided transportation for all guests to the MGM Grand Garden Arena where we immediately put in place a system that allows us to check guests into accommodations at our sister properties.
All of our sister properties have availability this weekend and we are making accommodations available to Monte Carlo guests at our expense for the duration of their stays. We currently have placed guests in many of our properties including The Signature, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage and Treasure Island.
We hope that as guests get settled in to their new rooms, they will touch base with their loved ones around the country to let them know they are safe.
As the county finishes its inspection and turns the building back over to us later this evening, we will begin the process of escorting our guests to their rooms to retrieve their belongings. We will contact guests at their new properties to make them aware of this information as we have it, and will provide transportation to and from their new hotels.
For guests scheduled to arrive in Las Vegas over the course of the weekend and scheduled to stay at Monte Carlo, reservations will be honored at one of our sister properties. Those arrangements can be made by calling 888-395-0776.
Lance Burton’s show this evening has been canceled, and refunds will be provided. We will know more about the future schedule throughout the weekend. "
