Two people were injured and hundreds of others were forced to flee after a fire broke out at a luxury hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon.
The blaze started at an outside pool area on a 14th-floor deck of The Cosmopolitan and quickly spread, setting pool cabanas and trees alight.
As large plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky, terrified guests fled to safety 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.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze around 30 minutes after arriving at the scene, Fire Chief Greg Cassell told KSNV. An investigation is ongoing.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
