If I remember right, they have two pools.

that was the better of the two though.

I live right by Black Mountain. Easy to see from here. I wonder if the sun reflected off of those Aria windows and started everything?

Here's a video of the PEPCON explosion. Kaboom at 27 seconds. Thankfully, that area wasn't nearly as populated then as it is now. LINK

Pool area catching on fire just seems a bit odd.

If you're on The Strip, it's about 25 - 30 minutes away. Take LV Blvd. South, turn onto 215 West going towards Henderson. Follow 215 until you hit the US 93 / 95 / I 515 junction. If you stay straight, it turns into Lake Mead Pkwy. You'll see Fiesta Henderson Hotel / Casino on the right and the PEPCON site is more or less across the street from there. This is an shot of how the area looks these days...

thanks. Next trip hopefully I'll have time to venture outside of the strip.

i've heard the golf courses out that way are something worth seeing/playing too,

It's so different now. I remember when the Mormon temple was way up in BFE. Now my sister lives down the road from it.

About 6 miles from there is Lake Las Vegas. Excellent golf there.

This is actually not the first time I have seen one of these pool areas at a hotel burn..... I am guessing it is time to quit using tiki torches around grass huts and shite like that....

Vegas survives on people making bad decisions, so that's not gonna happen.
