In the week of the Westgate Las Vegas fire, TravelZork brings you the top 9 casino tweets that you missed this week.
Many were shocked to see The Westgate caught fire this week as a discarded cigarette started a fire on the pool deck. Thankfully only one person was injured, as they attempted to extinguish the flames. Elsewhere, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced plans to buy and operate the Las Vegas monorail. In a week of debuts, Caesars Entertainment and ESPN debuted a brand new state of the art studio at the Linq, and Love Island USA debuted from its new home at The Cromwell Hotel and Casino.
