Smoke coming from downtown Sunday night was due to a blaze to a small commercial building near Las Vegas Boulevard South and Bonneville Avenue, the Las Vegas Fire Department said.

No one was injured and crews knocked down the blaze at Bikini Bail Bonds soon after they were called about 7:25 p.m., the fire department said on Twitter.
