After Friday's frightening fire at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas, it will be a while before the place gets back to business as usual.

There's absolutely no information about the fire or updates on the hotel website but as of right now the hotel is unopened to the public, a tough blow for a casino.

Gordon Absher, a public affairs official for the MGM Mirage company, told the LVRJ that there is no determined re-opening date yet. Currently, workers are at the hotel to begin repairing ceilings and rooms that sustained heavy water or smoke damage which are mostly those on the 27-32nd floors.

As for the hotel guests, those that were there over the weekend were let in on late Friday to retrieve their belongings.

Absher said guests from fewer than 100 rooms had yet to reclaim their belongings by Sunday afternoon. Starting today, the Monte Carlo will confirm addresses and begin shipping all remaining unclaimed personal belongings of guests to their homes.

As for guests with future reservations they will be rebooked at other MGM properties like Treasure Island and Mandalay Bay. There's still no estimate of the fire damage or even what could have caused it.
