Vegas’ wettest monsoon in a decade floods casinos, leaves two dead

Heavy rains in Las Vegas Thursday produced flash flooding that saw casinos soaked and two people dead.

After the floodwaters receded, Clark County Fire Department reported that two lifeless bodies were found in the city’s flood channels, according to the New York Post.

One was located around Las Vegas Boulevard Thursday night, and another was uncovered near the southern tip of the Las Vegas Strip on Friday morning.

The exact cause of death for the two victims, and whether or not the flood was related to said deaths, has not yet been determined.
