Firefighters could be seen on the roof of the hotel.
Most of the flames appeared to be coming from the southern section of the hotel.
Black smoke was billowing into the air and was visible from more than a mile away, CNN producer Darian Billington said.
He said traffic was backed up on the Strip, and crowds of people were gathering to watch the blaze.
The hotel has more than 3,000 rooms, including 211 penthouse suites, and conference rooms.
The more expensive rooms are on the top floors.
The hotel was built in 1996 for $344 million. It is in the heart of the resort corridor. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

Fuck I worked for the company that did all the facade work for that place when it was being built.
Then it burnt down and we had to rebuild the facade.
Now it looks like they get another shot at it again.
