  1. Shit ain't nothing new. 20 Yeats ago I walked from Harrah to Ceasars and there was thunder and a sprinkle. After brunch I helped take the bags to the cars for our trip to Laughlin and water was flowing over a 7 foot fall into Harrah property and parking garage and flowing out of the imperial palace on the strip.

    Guess what. When it rains in Vegas it floods in Vegas nothing new

  2. All that water and the lake is drying up? Gimme a break. I heard that Biden used Elon musks tunnel machine to drain the lake and steal the water for California. Damn libs.

    /s

  3. Just Poseidon taking over, don't worry, Aloy will fix this!
    But on a serious note, sad for all the people troubled by this. Take care!

  4. At least all that water will be recycled!!! Vegas doesn't waste any water and are paving the way for other cities with this Global Warming that everyone says is fake

  5. This is hilarious because this area has been flooding since it was called the imperial palace . Engineers did zero to alleviate the problem . Every monsoon season this occurs. Vegas native speaking from experience!

  6. This is only shocking to a Visitor or Vegas resident newb. This is pretty standard flash flood stuff for Vegas. The Linq is right there on a flood channel it always flows through there. One year floods washed away the sides of the channels on the east side and washed away a trailer park.

  7. You do know this is from the heat evaporating the water from creeks ponds rivers. You know lake Mead all that water, it went up, it gotta come down, not in the same place but somewhere easle, this is this the starttttt!!!!!

  8. Under fashion show was built on top of a river bed that naturally flows towards the lake. The large poles are there to hold it up WHEN it floods the valley.

  9. What happened to the hundreds of millions dollar storm rain storage facilities they built or building underground?

  10. I think it might be all the concrete, and cutting back on plants in Urban areas. If there isn't enough plants and vegetation to suck up the rain, it'll get trapped in odd places, like the streets, building areas, and such.

  11. Did you see the a-hole in the truck speeding through the flood? Well that’s the type of people you have driving in Vegas! And they’ll hit you and run!
