It's about 10:30 pm and the News Years fireworks display was to occur nearby the hotel.  The world's tallest building is nearby.

That whole thing looks like it's engulfed in flames. I hope they were able to evacuate all 60+ stories.

The fire probably started as a result of some fool filing down the firing pin of his AR atop a filing cabinet.
