Flames and billowing smoke come from the top of the Monte Carlo hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada January 25, 2008. A fire broke out on the top floors of the 3,000-room Las Vegas hotel and Casino on Friday, forcing the evacuation of guests and staff and quickly engulfing parts of the building's facade and roof.
