Flooding On The Las Vegas Strip
8/16/2022 (Permalink)
For the second time in a little over two weeks, the Las Vegas Strip flooded, leaving rain pouring into multiple casinos through the doors and through the ceiling. Videos show the water raining down onto the carpet and card tables. In this most recent wave of flooding, the two casinos hit the hardest were Planet Hollywood and Caesars Palace. Planet Hollywood suffered a similar fate in the last flood occurrence, with rain coming in through the roof in that instance as well. Las Vegas is currently in its "monsoon season," with this monsoon season being called the most restless season in a decade by experts. According to the National Weather Service, Las Vegas has seen 1.28 inches of rainfall this year in 2022. This is the first time Las Vegas has had more than an inch of rainfall since 2014. The heavy rainfall wound up leaving over 12,000 people without electricity.
