Last week, there was a fire at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino.  Needless to say, everyone is thankful there were no deaths, unlike 1980′s MGM fire.  Check out this impressive picture from the Review-Journal.  Truly, we have a great fire department here in the Valley, and I would like to thank them for a job well done.

Meanwhile, workers at the Tropicana have apparently been told not to cash their paychecks.

To wrap things up, here’s Interesting Las Vegas Facts to Surprise Your Friends.
