LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
The marquee of a North Las Vegas casino caught fire
Monday morning, sending up a plume of smoke visible from miles away.
Firefighters were called about 11 a.m. to Poker Palace,
2757 Las Vegas Blvd. N., near the intersection with Civic Center Drive. It took
fire crews about 10 minutes to extinguish the fire.
Fire Department spokesman Capt. Cedric Williams said it
appeared the sign was having work done, but it was not immediately clear what
caused the fire. The marquee sign was destroyed, Williams said.
There were no
reported injuries.
