Las Vegas was slammed with one other wave of torrential flash floods just two weeks after hotels and casinos were consumed with floodwater.
Town’s entire Strip suffered major water damage on Thursday night as videos shared on social media showed casinos turning into rain gutters.
The National Weather Service for Las Vegas issued a flash flood warning in addition to a flood advisory until 12:15 a.m. Friday as water flooded a number of the city’s most iconic buildings.
Video footage shows Caesar’s Palace struggling to take care of the heavy downpour as floodwater could possibly be seen pouring onto diners on the hotel’s indoor restaurant.
Planet Hollywood also suffered some major water damage from the flash floods, as video footage shows the constructing filling up with water and soaking the carpet.
“Never have I seen rain this torrential like I saw this evening,” Richard Henderson, who hails from Vancouver, Canada, told The Post. “The rain was so heavy that you might barely see the Flamingo across the road.”
The huge flooding has also caused town to suffer major power outages as over 17,000 NV Energy customers were left without power, 8NewsNow reports.
Henderson, who witnessed the floods in Caesar’s Palace, said Sports Book employees had cordoned off an area inside “with a makeshift barrier of soaking wet slot machine chairs.”
“A fast glance to the ceiling and we were shocked to see water pouring out of each sprinkler head and other spots,” he told The Post.
“The sheer amount of water made one among my friends very nervous – she was very concerned about the potential of more water coming in or a partial ceiling collapse.”
“The lightning strikes were intense. I’ve never seen anything quite prefer it in Vegas,” he added.
Local resident Sean Sable said it’s essentially the most rain he’s seen in his six years living in Vegas.
Sable said he saw water “pouring in” during a fast stop to Planet Hollywood.
However the rain isn’t going away just yet.
“We expect the rain to go ahead through the weekend,” National Weather Service Las Vegas lead Forecaster Chris Outler told The Post.
“There are every day possibilities. Straight away the rain has tapered off across the valley but nearly daily, especially within the afternoon and evening hours, we’ve about 30% possibilities for Las Vegas.”
The Post has reached out to NV Energy and Planet Hollywood for comment, while Caesar’s Palace declined to comment.
The flood can be causing some travel chaos at Harry Reid International airport.
Passengers are being forced to endure departure delays averaging 1 hour 34 minutes, in addition to over an hour of delays for arrivals, based on FlightAware.com.
The airport picked up a minimum of 0.58 inches of rainfall, with the weather service tweeting, “This brings our monsoon season rainfall total to 1.28′!”
Meanwhile, on the roads, drivers got here to a whole stop as roads became blocked by floodwater and cordoned off by cops.
Just two weeks ago, town was hit with major flooding that caused damage to many hotels and casinos.
Alexander Wolf, a Las Vegas resident, told The Post he saw “curtains” of rainfall outside his window.
“Lightning was nearly constant, and the facility went out several times,” he told The Post. “Electric surges set the fireplace alarms of several buildings off, causing fire responders to must head out into the storm to reply to them.”
