Pardon me, but how much for that car?

Could you imagine what it would feel like to be driving a 1927 Bentley roadster? The wind in your hair the smell of old leather in your nose. Or how about a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud? A Lamborghini? Cars like these are more like a piece of art than an automobile.

So what does this have to do with Las Vegas? No, this post is not about the cars you can see driving around Sin City, and yes you probably can see anyone of these cars on the streets of Las Vegas. I am talking about a more personal experience. One where you can get up close and personal with some or the most treasured automobiles on the planet.

Las Vegas in on FIRE

On Friday Jan 26th 2008 a fire swept through the top two floors of the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas. Amazingly the majority of the fire was on the exterior of the building. I will repeat that.. the majority of the fire was on the EXTERIOR of the building.

Am I the only person on the planet that finds this a little odd? I mean the majority of flammables and fire starters. The exterior of the Monte Carlo is apparently sprayed with a textured “foam like building material” that is extremely flammable.

Fire Chief Steve Smithsaid it was too early to assess damage or say what caused the fire, which began just before 11 a.m. There was no immediate indication of criminal activity or arson, but "nothing is ruled out at this time," he said.

Let’s hope they get this sorted out, and this is just a thought .. but maybe you guys should not spray flammable foam on the outside of your billion dollar resorts.
