Top floors of Vegas hotel casino burning
Sections of the top four floors of the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, are burning. The hotel has more than 3,000 rooms, penthouse suites and newly remodeled conference rooms.
I found these a while back and had given up trying to identify them. Thank you LoneStarOne for your ID of the aircraft on map http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/25761/
If you look around, it becomes apparent that this view is not the marathon in progress. The people visible are probably officials or fans heading for the grandstands. Maybe what you saw was the marathon runners.

This area has BEV coverage now.
I believe the artist is Alexander Lieberman. You can see the resemblance in style in the photo on this page: http://www.diamondimages.com/margulies.html - Plus I found a forum post by GaryR52 stating that he is the artist. ...
