In videos posted recently, water can be seen collecting on the floor after it broke and poured through a screen at the Circa Resort and Casino. More videos depicting similar occurrences happening across Nevada surfaced. In a second video posted on Twitter, water can be seen rushing through the screen of Caesars Palace. Water was also seen causing damage in the parking garage of the LINQ Hotel. The Planet Hollywood Casino was also maimed by a flooding situation after water broke through the ceiling. 

Residents of Las Vegas described seeing 'curtains of rain' when they looked out of their windows after the storm had hit. Lightning was reportedly constant and the power supply was cut off several times throughout the course of the storm. “Electric surges set the fire alarms of several buildings off, causing fire responders to have to head out into the storm to respond to them,” a resident of Las Vegas, Alexander Wolf, told NYP. 

Las Vegas Fire Information Officer Tim Szymanski reported to The Post that no injuries as a result of the flood had been reported to them so far. However, the flood seems to have caused quite the damage to property nonetheless.

Simon Jowitt, an economic geologist and professor at the University of Las Vegas told The Post, “We’ve got good drainage systems but sometimes the water just overloads them. It can also be dangerous for homeless people who sometimes live in the drainage systems for shelter." He further added, “The other thing is that we don’t often get rain so it’s hard to check whether roofs and the like are actually waterproof; probably what has happened in the casinos tonight."
