No injuries reported in fire at Las Vegas Strip hotel

Clark County firefighters responded Sunday morning to the Strip after receiving a report of a fire at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, officials said.

About 5 a.m., firefighters went to the building on the 3700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South after receiving a report of a fire in a room that was being renovated, according to Clark County Fire Department Assistant Chief Larry Haydu.

The fire in room 404 on the fourth floor of the building filled the hallway with smoke, but did not activate the sprinkler system, Haydu said.

Haydu said firefighters found a roll of insulation burning. The fire did not extend to the building, he said.

The fire was extinguished shortly after 5:30 a.m. and no injuries were reported, he said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
