Watch the video… The hotel's emergency alarm sounded as bright orange flames could be seen through the lobby's revolving doors, visibly growing.
The situation took an even scarier turn when the roof of the Cybertruck seemingly flew off.
A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told TMZ that they are currently investigating “a vehicle fire and vehicle explosion” at the hotel – but urged others to keep their distance from the scene.
A Clark County spokesperson also confirmed this KSNV that the incident was first reported around 8:40 this morning… prompting first responders – including firefighters and police officers – to head to the hotel.
According to the outlet, local authorities have confirmed that the fire has now been extinguished… However, there is no information on whether the fire was intentionally set or if there were any injuries.
We're sure there will be more developments to come…so stay tuned.
