MGM Mirage announced that the Monte Carlo Hotel will reopen its doors for customers on Friday, Feb. 15, following a fire that damaged the upper floors of the property in late January.
Monte Carlo plans to open with no fewer than 1,200 guest rooms available and management anticipates an additional 1,300 rooms will become available by Feb. 22. The remaining 500 rooms in Monte Carlo’s normal 3,000-room inventory are located on the upper floors and will remain out of service while undergoing more extensive redesign.
The majority of guest services will open on Feb. 15, including the Monte Carlo Casino, meeting and convention facilities, the wedding chapel and the Spa & Salon Monte Carlo. All food and beverage outlets will open on Feb. 15, with the exception of the buffet and the Monte Carlo Brew Pub, which will open as business demands, but no later than Feb. 22.
Most retail outlets will open Feb. 15, with all opening no later than the Feb. 22. Master Magician Lance Burton will resume his long-running show Feb. 15, in the 1,200-seat Lance Burton Theater.
Repair work continues both inside and outside the hotel, which was evacuated and temporarily closed Jan. 25, after a fire damaged portions of the building’s exterior façade. Fire suppression efforts caused water damage to a number of guest rooms and suites.
Approximately 5,000 guests and 1,000 employees were safely evacuated from the hotel with no serious injuries. Preliminary results of the Clark County Fire Department’s investigation have determined that welding activity on the hotel roof started the fire. A total damage figure has not yet been determined.
