Two weeks have
passed since a massive fire affected the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in
Las Vegas and since then, there have been several reports announcing
that the Las Vegas hotel was under repair and that soon was going to be back on
business, however, there wasn’t an official date for the re-opening until yesterday
night when the Hotel officials announced that the Monte Carlo will re-open next
Friday 15th.
The fire damaged
to the upper levels and required a complete evacuation of the hotel. Las
Vegas Fire Department investigators said that a cutting torch used to install a
walkway on the roof started the fire.
The hotel will start its operations as usual with a total of 1,200 guest rooms available. Another 1,300 rooms will be ready for opening on February 22nd and the remaining 500 rooms situated on the higher floors will remain closed until further notice.
