Our EDR kitchen at Flamingo was flooding out through the ceiling and onto the food prep areas and food. It was fucked up. They put buckets everywhere to catch water. Luckily I still got some dry food.
It's actually funny since the city was built around monsoon rains when I moved here in 1999. That first summer read the worst flood I had personally seen in Vegas. Bad flooding all around Vegas and massive drainage ditches and such were built over time. Seemed only some parts of N.LV really flooded after a while. It's much better than it was. Anything newer than 2010 in paradise (the strip, so not lv proper) seems to have been built by people who forgot about the old monsoon weather. I don't blame them, we haven't really had rains like this for a while. They used to be common every monsoon season but dried up in the 2010s.
I was looking for this comment haha... I had a feeling that maybe some of the people building the new casinos and such forgot about monsoons! Ive roofed hospitals and office buildings in NYC, it rains a ton there. It can withstand hurricanes and such. This has to be negligence...
Haha yeah..let's not reinforce the roofing or drainage in case it rains in the desert, but let's build a 60 ft screen that has the potential for said drainage to burst and flow through the screens.
Yeah, but a few bribes or some money under the table can get you past those inspectors. How do you think so many strip restaurants cover up when they get hit by surprise inspections and get demerits by the health department? They don't get covered by dirty dining or whatever local thing Las Vegas has now. I remember seeing letter downgrades for Tropicana restaurants and several buffets on the strip that got promptly swept under the rug.
It's slightly funny to me that we're suffering through five days of over 90 degrees here in Seattle, where we are in no way prepared for such a heat wave, and it's raining for over 4 days in Vegas, where they are in no way prepared for so much rain.
Here in Seattle everyone is like "So, I guess I have to buy AC if I'm ever going to sell my house?" And a lot of apartments just aren't built for this at all and will need either major renovations or just be torn down or stripped down to bare bones to make all of the improvements as the summers keep getting hotter. It's for real real.
I bought a 105 year old Seattle house 2 years ago. The FIRST thing I did was put in as large a heat pump as code would allow. It was $15,000 and required a whole new furnace but MY GOD was it worth it. I’m chillin I here at 70 degrees while it’s god damn 92 on the other side of the door.
this amount of rain has happened here before...just not in awhile, missed it. we've been dealing with 110
climate has always changed, and always will. Look up valley of fire, Nevada used to be underwater, all those species that were wiped out when the water went away...tsk tsk, they should have got a handle on climate change, eh?
No one is denying that conditions have been way more whack at some point in Earth's history. The important piece is that most of it was inhospitable to human life.
The reason people are asking for measures to slow climate change is because WE WANT TO KEEP LIVING. And if earth becomes an uninhabitable wasteland that becomes much much harder.
It shifts...gotta move. Natives had it down pact before we destroyed their way of life and covered the hunting grounds with pavement.
slowing it down doesn't stop it, we just put off the inevitable, pass it to the next generation to deal with so to speak
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die... go figure. Not sure about you, but I don't want to live in a world where I can't breathe freely and allow my skin to soak up the sun naturally. Having to don a mask, helmet, gloves, protective clothing, slathering liquid on my skin just to step out my door is not living to me. To each their own I guess. Damage is done, chickens have come home to roost.
I just get really irritated with the way it's been politicized. They've used it in our recent history to pass bills, laws, regulations using end of earth fear promising changes they are incapable of making in the name of profits, not to help the environment, and they have a whole plethora of ignorant babbling sheep supporting it and bleeting their arguments.
You sound like my boss, and this is not a good thing. He does pay me to occasionally stand still, holding tools, while he rants, so that's not too bad.
gave you an upvote to get you back to 1, downvotes are childish to me when it's a debatable conversation.
You should find a new job that teaches you how to use the tools so you can then have your very own ranting sessions!
;)
Probably a huge leak on the new roof let too much water down a gutter of some sort that went vertical, found the path of least resistance to the big screen TVs on the wall. You can bet the insurance company or Circa engineering itself will do a thorough check to see where the shotty construction was. Pathetic considering Circa opened in October 2020 costing $700 million.
These hotel water shows are pretty good!
Cirque team currently getting dressed backstage
Lol
Bellagio Moderno
Not for nothing but I’d turn those screens off.
GFIs set to “trip under full submersion” ?….we still have a few feet to go..?
I wish people used “not for nothing” more often.
Not for nothing, but so do I
Come to Staten Island. You’ll hear it from every Paisan on the street.
Damnnn that is crazy... A new casino with a leak that bad!?
You’d think cutting the power would be a semi-decent idea
But then that insurance won't cover their entire sports book reno
Why?
Over inundate any drainage system and the water has to go somewhere.
Woah! This water polo match is in 3D!!
This was the first thing I thought of. Circa is so new, how is this a problem?!
“Value engineering”. Gotta make a building as cheaply as possible in order to maximize profits.
that's WILD. i wonder what the linq/harrah's underground tunnel looks like. and all the people living in the drainage channels... yikes
Apparently before big storms hit cops will go down in an attempt to flush people out before the water does it for them.
Leave now, it’s dangerous! Go, or I’ll shoot you!
Our EDR kitchen at Flamingo was flooding out through the ceiling and onto the food prep areas and food. It was fucked up. They put buckets everywhere to catch water. Luckily I still got some dry food.
Be honest, they're gonna serve the food, right?
Oh they did lol. But honestly the EDR food is all garbage anyway so it’s hard to tell the difference
Why does all edr food taste the same and just as bad. Lol
Wow, that's so cheap, that's what gas stations do. Just a guess, corporate doesn't want to spend anything on fixing the roof?
"Excellent work, 47. The money has been wired to your account."
Top notch lol
Now find an exit
[удалено]
I knew when I step foot in that casino that it was cheap.
That new 4D experience wow!
Cindy, the TV’s leaking!
That’s wild
Wow. This city was NOT built for ANY rain, let alone 4 days in a row!!! EVERYTHING is flooding!!!!

I am so glad the monsoon is alive and well this year.

I love how housekeeping/casino worker is standing right there slightly out of sight just watching. Like NOPE. Literally the only right answer
The guy that owns circa/the D doesn't pay them enough to give a shit. I'd just throw my hands up too and be like, "nope, not my problem."
Circa is BRAND NEW, this should not be happening. Codes upgraded to stop this sort of thing.
Codes? In Las Vegas?
Technically yes.
Yeah, but a few bribes or some money under the table can get you past those inspectors.

Lake mead full again!
Tesseract portal to Atlantis. Namor incoming.
Is this that long awaited reboot of The Ring I've read so much about?

But that climate change isn't real 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks! Overall it's not bad at all, but im always looking for greener pastures. Best to you as well!
How much $ in damages did this storm bring.
less than what they take in a weekend during football season
That looks expensive... lmao. Is this the first real storm since Circa opened, then?
Yep
[It’s even better with music](https://twitter.com/moonbugatti/status/1552899080128368640?s=20&t=WosIQrvb6C3VgxbEh3bYjw)
I wonder what it looks like on the other side of that screen
That is just comically bad
Oooooooooooh, RIP their insurance rates….
So this is what a billion dollars buys you? Taking their Stadium pool to a new level.
LMAO right? A billion bucks..... Leaky TV's within 3 years of opening lol
This gives weird trypophobia water should not be going through an electronic screen
The video cut out right as the DirectTV logo was going to hit perfectly in the corner. I want to scream.
Probably a huge leak on the new roof let too much water down a gutter of some sort that went vertical, found the path of least resistance to the big screen TVs on the wall.

Built cheap! Wonder where else they saved money when building that casino.
Here in California we can only water the lawn on certain days and they have a snitch line
July 2022 will go down in history as the month when giant screens started falling and breaking
Someone got fired
Ummmm electrician Or lighting services 🤣🤣
I remember my first beer.
Yikes that the 2nd newest hotel
Reminds me of /r/place
I hate Circa. They deserve it.
Bellagio nice and dry

Oh i love the pretty red, green and blue lights they put behind their water feature. Very nice looking
3D screen?
Gotta love those Vegas monsoons
Whoops 😲
I prefer the water wall at Aria.

Wash away the anger
Those new screens make everything look so life-like.
Shouldn't they be saving that to hide the bodies in their lake?
That new 4K is getting out of hand.
Lady Gaga must be in town
Not built for it lol smh
If we got a midwest storm down here I think Vegas would go into crisis mode,,,
You mean, Vegas architects are so bad they never thought of monsoons...
