From Times Wire Reports

One of the biggest and priciest hotel-casinos on the Las Vegas Strip closed after a main power line failed, forcing thousands of guests to be relocated.

The Bellagio lost partial power about 2 a.m. Sunday, said Alan Feldman, a spokesman for MGM Mirage, which owns the hotel.

“We don’t know what happened and probably won’t for some time,” he said.

The hotel would not reopen until this morning at the earliest, Feldman said.
