The blaze started at an outside pool area on the rooftop of The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday and quickly spread, setting pool cabanas and trees alight. As large plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky (left and right), terrified guests fled down 14 floors and more than 100 firefighters rushed to the scene.
One person injured in the blaze was taken to hospital, while a second guest with minor injuries is still being evaluated at the 2,995-room hotel. The pair both suffered smoke inhalation, officials said. An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. Inset: Guests at another hotel snap photos of the fire.
