More flash floods hit Las Vegas, submerging the strip and casinos
Two weeks after hotels and casinos were inundated by floodwater, Las Vegas was blasted with another round of catastrophic flash floods.

Two weeks after hotels and casinos were inundated by floodwater, Las Vegas was blasted with another round of catastrophic flash floods.
The whole Las Vegas Strip was severely damaged by water on Thursday night, as social media videos showed casinos transforming into rain gutters.
As water began to flood some of the city’s most recognizable structures on Friday morning, the National Weather Service in Las Vegas issued a flash flood warning as well as a flood advisory that would remain in effect until 12:15 a.m.
Floodwater could be seen flowing over customers in the hotel’s indoor restaurant, as captured on video, as Caesar’s Palace struggled to cope with the torrential downpour.
The flash floods also caused significant water damage to Planet Hollywood, as camera footage showed the structure filling with water and the carpet becoming saturated.
Richard Henderson, a native of Vancouver, Canada, told The Post, “I’ve never witnessed such a tremendous downpour as this evening.” The rain was so intense that it was nearly impossible to see the Flamingo across the street.
More than 17,000 NV Energy customers have been left without power as a result of the catastrophic floods in the city.

Henderson, who witnessed the flooding at Caesar’s Palace, reported that Sports Book personnel had created a makeshift barrier using drenched slot machine chairs.
We were surprised to find water gushing from every sprinkler head and various locations on the ceiling.
Sean Sable, who has lived in Las Vegas for the past six years, remarked that he had never seen so much precipitation.
Sable stated that he witnessed water “pouring in” during a brief visit to Planet Hollywood.
But the rain hasn’t stopped falling just yet.
In addition to disrupting flights at Harry Reid International Airport, the flood is also generating travel pandemonium.
Passengers have to wait an average of 1 hour 34 minutes for their flights to leave and more than an hour for their flights to arrive.
Meanwhile, automobiles came to a total halt on the highways, which were obstructed by floodwater and sealed off by police officers.
