Monte Carlo Fire - update, Saturday afternoon
At 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 26, the public affairs office of the Monte Carlo issued the following update:
"Clark County inspectors have now released the upper floors of Monte Carlo and the process of returning personal belongings to guests whose rooms were located on floors 27 through 32 has begun. Similar to the process for guests on floors 3 through 26, guests will be transported from their new hotels to Monte Carlo to retrieve their personal items.
Nearly all guests in the 2,400 rooms on floor 26 and below have retrieved their personal belongings left during the evacuation. Hotel staff is now in the process of normal cleaning and servicing of these vacant rooms, making them ready to receive guests when Monte Carlo reopens.
The MGM MIRAGE development staff is now assessing damage and determining a plan for reopening the resort. Additional information will be made available as it is appropriate to do so."
