Another Casino Fire?

We were recently at the slot machines at the Orleans. It was pretty late, and as we were sitting at the machines, I noticed a group of people creating a bit of a commotion nearby. It wasn't the yelling and whooping sort of commotion that usually signals someone winning a good jackpot; it was more like a slightly concerned, staring at a trash can and talking worriedly commotion. I looked at the trash can in question and saw that there was smoke coming from it. One of the guys at the slot machines near the trash can got up and started pouring all the leftover drinks he could find in the trash can. Someone else went to find help. That person returned with a custodial person. The custodian proceeded to throw other trash on top of the burning trash. He also collected more drinks to throw on the fire. A few minutes later, a security guard walked up. He had a new bottle of gatorade, so he poured that entire bottle into the trash can also. It seemed like a slightly haphazard manner to use to put out the trash fire.
