I'm from MN and moved to Vegas for a couple years. Worked in a restaurant in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Being from MN I'm used to all kinds of crazy weather. Bit when it rains in Vegas, it POURS. It would look like a tornado came through anf roads would get so slick and crap would wash down from the mountains into the streets. I never experienced this level of rain while I lived there. But so crazy to see. Still think of Vegas as my second home and have many friends that still there.
I moved to Las Vegas in 1957 and have seen many of these storms. They are all special because they don't happen all the time. Having 2 within a few weeks is rare. 1 rule get to high ground and wait.

The earth turns,weather does too,time to migrate…besides they put a drain about 7 year’s ago in lake mead, guess where it went, Vegas baby. Water is now underground and privatized 👀🇺🇸
There was one bad storm in 2015 as I remembered driving on spring mountain (I think) and I could literally touch the water outside of the car. Granted my friend had a scion. But the aftermath was worst when gravel/debris was on the road and huge chunks of rocks. You couldn’t even drive on the road. Vegas does not have a good drainage support system. It’s a fishbowl.
That's because it's been about that long since we've gotten a decent monsoon season. I've grown up here and remember flooding like this very vividly. It happens about every 10 years or so.
@@regrich8795 it's a desert monsoon which really is a misnomer. This is the time of year extra moisture is being pushed from the ocean through Mexico creating shifts in the weather and bringing, at times, torrential, rains.
Over 2 billion dollars (each) were spent on flood catchment basins around the valley and we're still left with this scene when the heavy rains come.......what a joke!!!!!
Do the people that live in the sewers there get any type of warning or advanced notice of rain? I've seen documentaries about all of the people who live in the sewer tunnels under Vegas. Even a 0.25" rain can flood the sewers and kill people down there. Hope everyone is safe.
No. They just have to be prepared. The rain here comes unexpectedly and real fast. Not enough time especially if they are in the tunnels already. Sometimes they are so doped up they don't realize how bad it's getting on time.
Most of the video of the parking garage is of the Limq (formerly the Quad, formerly the I P, originally the Imperial Palace). It is built over the Flamingo Wash, and whenever Las Vegas gets heavy rains and the wash gets blocked with debris, the water will rush through like that. Generally give it an hour or two and the water will be gone.
Aww memories. I worked at the Imperial Palace which is now The Linq 25 yrs ago. The story from the old school staff was that the owner of the Imperial Palace, Ralph Englested was an engineer, among other things😒. Anyway the IP is very close to a flood wash (whatever it's called), so naturally you have to be crazy to build literally on top of an area where collected flood water will tear through your property. The Harrah's and Flamingo are close, but the IP (Now Linq) is in the middle. I guess he did engineering calculation and figured it out. Worked at IP for about 7rs. The amt of flood water was different sometimes hmm not bad, but sometimes Neptune was f'king pissed. The employee parking was at the lot across from the garage parking. When it flooded we couldn't just walk to our cars. We had to go through Harrah's, upstairs, across a pathway (some how Harrah's and Linq was connected via their parking.), back down again, and finally to our cars. We didn't get write ups for being late😅. Yes a few people have died when I worked there. Likely a tourist who didn't want to do an Amazing Race to get to the other side. That was long. I ♥️ telling stories.
No but be advised its been like this since July. Its monsoon season. You will have days were it's clear then days where the sky goes dark the winds kick up and the sky puts on a water and lights show in surround sound
Wow! I sat out on my balconey and watched the light show. Anxious to get out to Red Rock Canyon after work and hike to the myriad of creeks and waterfalls. Be nice to see and hear the water flowing.
Do the thousands of bicycles in the underground drainage spaces clog up the drains and cause flooding? Plus all the other debris and trash, mattresses etc. No where for the water to go as it was designed expressly for this purpose.
Las Vegas is in a valley. Water flows downhill and ends up at Caesar’s Palace, the low spot in the valley. Most of the video is from The Link parking lot across the street from Caesar's. Thousands of bicycles? What you smokin’ Smoker?
@@charlesgallagher1376 they're referring to the huge homeless population in the drainage tunnels and their makeshift homes down there. I've seen full housing arrangements in there with electricity, TVs, furniture and small appliances lol and yes. bicycles.
yes I hope they made it out! but unfortunately all their makeshift housing materials and property makes the flooding worse when it backs up the water and restricts its flow
I lived there for 12 years and saw some extreme weather, lived near Koval and Tropicana and man remember pulling cars out when i worked at Lexus, it was rough. Henderson was severely damaged each time before they remodeled sunset road towards the casino.
what are those 4 lights in the sky from 12th to 19th second? Another Alien Activity? They are far more advanced than us and probably can control the weather phenomenon as well
Actually, 5 lights at the start of the video dancing around, vanishing at the 8th second and then 4 showing up again at the 12th. They are so far out, fast moving, we don't have any technology like that to fly back and forth. The camera shooting this is completely steady and still, so, those dancing lights do belong to something in the skies.
Well some people asked for a miracle to help fill Lake Mead! What happens to everyone if the Lake ever dries completely? I hope it keeps raining as to fill it up.
Pretty sure this is from end of July, as it has been sunny and clear skies the last few days. * I stand corrected amazing how swift mother nature sweeps in, clear skies to this.
I thought that Las Vegas spent hundreds of millions of dollars for an underground tunnel system to prevent this kind of flooding. Doesn't seem to be working 😕
Underground parking is inherently prone to flooding. Given this knowledge, it is foreseeable that such an event would and could happen. What did the architect and contractors (and City that approved and issued 'permits') do about it? How was 'drainage' addressed? Point is: Somebody was negligent. How did the Casino deal with the 'parked cars' down there? Everybody ordered to higher ground? Hope every vehicle owner has 'Comprehensive Coverage' on their auto insurance policy. That's the applicable coverage for 'flood damage'. Without it, you're on your own.
Las Vegas doesn't get storms this bad that often, they are rare. So the city is not set up to deal with massive floods like this. It never was. At least it will refill Lake Mead.
' wow beautifully floody on the desert in las vegas... big thank to the cloudy pour heavy thick rainy rainy on the dry desert sand / great floody... keep continue more rainy rainy again and flood soon allday - allnight - everyday - everynight... many animals / plants needs that water
We were in Vegas two weeks ago and I was hoping it would do this when we were there. It started to on our drive in and then stopped. I was a little disappointed.
I went up on the replica Eiffel Tower a few years ago, and as soon as my friends and I got off the elevator, lightning was visible in the far distance. The tower was immediately closed, but I got to stay up a bit longer because the elevator filled up and I had to wait for it to return. There was no storm or rain on Las Vegas that night but any lightning at all is enough of a warning, obviously, for this particular structure to shut down.

That’s The Link parking lot. It’s always the worst flooding there.
@@charlesgallagher1376 True!! The reason is that the lower level of the Linq parking Lot is the Flamingo Wash. Caesars Palace built a tunnel underneath their property to follow the Flamingo Wash. This empties into the Linq Parking Lot.
Just need a thousand more of these and Lake Mead will be back to normal...
I was thinking Lake Mead was drying out, this is the solution.
We need a couple of killer snow YEARS in Colorado to fill the lake.
Needs to fall north of mead
A thousand more of these and we wouldn’t need to worry about lake mead because Las Vegas would be underwater.

Hopefully the Homeless moved to higher ground 🙏
This is whom I immediately thought about. 😳😳😳
The Homeless in Vegas needed a bath anyway.
Well if they were still down there they're not living down there anymore. Pretty sad
Do the people that live in the sewers there get any type of warning or advanced notice of rain? I've seen documentaries about all of the people who live in the sewer tunnels under Vegas. Even a 0.25" rain can flood the sewers and kill people down there. Hope everyone is safe.
The grey clouds, and annual flooding should've given sufficient warning.
I was wondering the exact same thing!
No. They just have to be prepared. The rain here comes unexpectedly and real fast. Not enough time especially if they are in the tunnels already. Sometimes they are so doped up they don't realize how bad it's getting on time.
No warnings at all. It was hot and sunny yesterday and then all of a sudden in the evening this happened
They will where the VERY LAST TO FIND OUT R.I.P.
Wouldn't it make sense if long time ago where there's floods there once was a river ?

No. Where on the screen?
@@sicNtwstdF He's to the top left of the STOP sign. He's laying on something. You can see his arms up in the air.

did any of the water make it to lake mead?
I’m coming to vegas for 6nts on Friday. Is there likely to be much noticeable damage from these floods ?

This is tough for the many thousands of Vegas residents who live beneath the city in the canal system.
yes I hope they made it out! but unfortunately all their makeshift housing materials and property makes the flooding worse when it backs up the water and restricts its flow
They're aren't that many.
So … Can someone tell me why this happens in Vegas ?
Crazy, we just left Vegas around 12 pm heading to Utah and it was sunny.
I checked out of linq hours before it started to rain. I literally walked in this parking lot to catch my Uber!! Crazy crazy
Flooding at the old Imperial Palace, same as when I worked there. Actually, worse in the old days.
Me too, I assumed that was all fixed guess not
Stay safe. 🌕

Wow we were there a week ago the whole time we were getting warnings in our phone but not rain at all it was hot
Is that parking lot built on an old, dry riverbed?
Which hotel is it? I guess the drought is over.
Who designed the drainage at the Linq? Isn't storm drainage not supposed to flow through your property?
It's crazy all that water and not one drop in my neighborhood
My family and I went to Vegas this past week, seems like we came right after a major flash flood and left right before another one! Crazy
