REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, LOS ANGELES -- A fire burned trees and cabanas around an outdoor pool at the Cosmopolitan Hotel on Las Vegas Strip, a well-known tourist destination, Saturday, injuring at least one person and forcing guests to evacuate, local fire officers said.

The Clark County Fire Department in the western U.S. state of Nevada, which covers the Vegas area, said on Twitter that one people was transported to a hospital but stressed the damage was limited, saying there was "very little extension to the building."

Photographs on social media showed a huge mass of black smoke from the fire, which broke out around noon, local time.

It is not immediately known if the entire hotel was evacuated.

Cause of the fire is still under investigation.
