A Las Vegas high-rise hotel reopened its rooftop swimming pool on Sunday, a day after a fire sent patrons running and black smoke billowing above the Strip.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas said the Bamboo Pool on the 14th floor reopened at 1am with full service except for its West Bar. Hotel officials said in a statement that an area affected by the fire had been walled off by the Clark County fire department.

A spa, fitness center and the 15th floor of the hotel’s West End Tower were also open. However, guest rooms on the 14th floor were still closed.

Crews were called to the resort around 12.15pm on Saturday to reports of a fire by an outdoor pool. Two people were treated for smoke inhalation.

Spectacular footage of the fire attracted widespread attention on social media.
