Although the cause of the fire is still under investigation, I am happy to report that sprinklers did work. Several hotel rooms (unknown exact number) had sprinkler activation as the EXTERIOR fire broke the windows and started to work it's way inside. The sprinklers in these affected rooms did keep the fire in check and only the furnishing along the exterior wall suffered fire damage.
FYI: The Monte Carlo is located outside of the City Limits of Las Vegas; Clark Couty Fire Dept and the Clark County Building Dept are the responding agencies and the AHJ.

The most used story is welding on the roof near the EFIS / stucco covering. This covering and portions of a mechanical space are the areas the fire spread. It spread 'downward' by the falling EFIS / stucco material.
