       An early-morning fire caused $200,000 in damage to four downtown
       businesses after a building's roof caved in, fire officials
       said.
       Las Vegas Fire and Rescue crews responded to the two-alarm fire
       at 2:20 a.m. after a Metro Police officer noticed smoke coming
       from the building on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and
       Bonneville Avenue.
       Firefighters encountered heavy fire inside the 3,300-square-foot
       building when they arrived, fire department spokesman Tim
       Szymanski said. They knocked down the fire at 3:39 a.m.
       No one was injured, but officials said the building has
       extensive damage from the roof caving in and heavy fire damage
       in the attic.
       Most contents from the four businesses — The Strip Sandwich
       Shop, Bingo Bail Bonds, Rescue Bail Bonds and Eichhorn & Hoo
       Attorneys at Law — are salvageable, officials said. While
       battling the blaze, firefighters spread plastic sheets inside
       the businesses to save the contents, Szymanski said.
       Debris from the fire littered the ground outside the white,
       stucco building Wednesday morning as workers assessed the
       damage. The property is cordoned off, but Las Vegas Boulevard
       and Bonneville are both reopened to traffic.
       The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
