With high winds and heavy rains whipping through the Las Vegas Valley on Thursday night, even the casinos couldn’t escape the wrath of Mother Nature.
Rain and floodwater reportedly made it inside multiple casinos, including Circa in downtown Las Vegas and Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.
Videos posted to social media seemed to back up the reports, with the most stunning post showing water pouring through the screen of Circa’s two-story sportsbook.
But Las Vegas is nothing if not resilient, and it was back to business, for the most part, on Friday.
“Last night’s weather took Vegas by storm and we were no exception. But, the show must go on and I’m happy to share that repairs are underway and we’re open for business,” Circa CEO Derek Stevens said in a statement. “Games are playing all day at Circa Sports and we’re accepting sports bets on the second level. Lower-level sportsbook seating is temporarily closed but we expect it to be fully open this weekend.”
A spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment said some of its properties had minor damage during the storm but were operating normally on Friday with repairs underway.
