2 dead amid ‘restless’ monsoon-season flooding in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The National Weather Service is calling this the most “restless” summer monsoon season in the Las Vegas area in a decade. Authorities on reported one death late Thursday in a flood-control channel near the south end of the Strip, and another body was found Friday. Overnight thunderstorms caused a leaky casino ceiling at Planet Hollywood and water flowed through a parking structure at The Linq hotel. Caesars Entertainment, owner of both properties, didn’t immediately comment or provide damage estimates. The weather service says the last time summer was this wet was in 2012. It extended a flash flood watch through Friday evening and says afternoon and evening storms could occur through next week.
