The most “restless” summer monsoon season in a decade became deadly as intense lightning and thunderstorms flooded parts of southern Nevada and a leaky ceiling forced table games to stop at one Las Vegas Strip casino.
In this photo provided by Dakota Snider, a thunderstorm is seen from Highway 159 over Las Vegas on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022. A summer monsoon thunderstorm season unseen in Las Vegas in the last 10 years brought lightning and heavy rain to some areas late Thursday, and ceiling leaks that soaked playing cards and gambling at some Strip casinos. No injuries were reported, and damage estimates were not immediately provided as Friday dawned sunny and clear.
No other injuries were reported. Officials with Caesars Entertainment Inc., owner of both properties, did not immediately respond to messages about damage. A flash flood watch was in effect through the day for southern Nevada and neighboring counties: Mohave in northwest Arizona and San Bernardino in California.
Social media video showed water above hubcaps of cars in some Las Vegas intersections and washing into the doorway stairs of a bus plowing through flooding.
