A small fire broke out Sunday afternoon at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The two-alarm fire, which is standard in hotel fires, was found after smoke was discovered at 3:52 p.m. coming through a wall, the Clark County Fire Department said. The fire started in a room that houses air conditioning units, near the roof.
Fire department spokesman Scott Allison said the fire was caused by the shorting out of the electrical components in one of the air conditioning units, which created a lot of smoke but no flames. Firefighters had to tear open the wall to get to the unit. The immediate area was evacuated.
A security officer was transported to a hospital for heat exhaustion, but is expected to recover quickly, Allison said.
No other injuries were reported. The incident took place in a new part of the hotel that is unoccupied and the fire alarms are not wired yet.

Vsestini...
I'll agree that Jeff & Walter are funny...and gun discharge is not. But why do the good guys always have to wait for the OTHER guys to shoot first? Las Vegas is no Santa Anna, and if you don't have anything to hide, just pull over man.
I can tell you honestly I don't want to be on that bike, do you???
