Arson Probe After Vegas Hotel Fire Destroys El Rancho Casino
Fire at El Rancho Vegas Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip destroyed the casino restaurant and caused extensive damage. Deputies opened an arson inquiry after hotel officials cited an unidentified man who spoke of fire to executives hours before the blaze. No injuries were reported, though a switchboard operator was rescued as flames cut off the casino area. Owner Beldon Katleman estimated damages at five million dollars with about a half million in cash inside the casino cage. The hub of the resort, a 26 acre complex, burned to a charred shell in about two hours, the windmill landmark collapsing from the roof.
