Fire breaks out at one of Las Vegas' top hotels

A number of guests were evacuated from the Cosmopolitan Hotel on the Las Vegas strip.

A MASSIVE FIRE broke out at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas yesterday.

According to a hostess at the Las Vegas hotel who just identified herself as “Jeanette,” a fire broke out in the bamboo hut on the 14th floor of the hotel, where one of the hotel’s pools is located.

Evacuated 

A number of guests had to evacuate from the hotel.

According to Jeanette, the fire was allegedly caused when a fryer located near the bamboo hut caught ablaze, however the cause of the fire is still to be confirmed.

CNN reports that the fire has since been extinguished.

Las Vegas residents and onlookers immediately took to Twitter to document the fire.

    Use a slow cooker, in doing so the cheapest cuts of meat are cooked beautifully and tender.

    Sorry but eating animals is wrong.
    It’ll be held in the same regard as slavery in the future’s history books.
    People don’t like having their lifestyles threatened and usually come up with very intelligent comments like ‘But they’re dumber than us’ or ‘They’re here for us to eat’- as if there was a big conference thousands of years ago between us and them where it was decided they would serve as food for us.
    There’s more variety in a plant based diet.
    Stop the cruelty.

    What’s ridiculous about it? Any rebuttal or are you just good at making dramatic comments?

    Your Facebook account says you’re in the agri business and there’s a whole lot of advertisement links to selling cows??
    The bias makes sense now.
