3rd of July 1975 - Flash Flood in Las Vegas

Posted by Mark Clawson

This morning we had some fairly significant flooding in Las Vegas. So, I decided to check out when some of the worse flooding had occurred in Las Vegas. I found this pictue of a flash flood on July 3, 1975. Two people were killed after being swept into flood currents in North Las Vegas. Additionally, 500 cars at Ceasars Palace were damaged by floodwaters in the casino parking lot.  The year, 1975, was noteable since there was a snow storm that dropped snow on the Strip.
