“So, I’m not very familiar with the tunnel system and what’s upstream of here, but more than likely there’s people that live in the tunnels upstream from here that get surprised by the swift moving water as it dumps on our city, like it did last night.” Authorities said the body of a male victim was located while they were removing excessive debris from the flood channel. CCFD responded, along with LVMPD officers and a private ambulance.

Vegas is always reinventing itself, and this year has been especially exciting with a variety of new shows, attractions, restaurants, and more.

At the top of Park MGM is the boutique NoMad Hotel. With its own entrance, lobby, and elevators, this feels like a very exclusive experience. Here are a few of the places we’ve recently stayed and highly recommend. It’s not easy to find live music in Vegas outside of a large concert by a big name artist. The newest restaurant in Eataly is Toscana Ristorante & Bar. Set apart from the rest of the shops, Toscana is set in a warm, cozy, and quiet space serving cuisine inspired by Tuscany. We were treated to their four-course tasting menu paired with Italian wines. It’s a nice alternative to Starbucks and is far less crowded. We began with a burrata and tomato salad and a selection of prosciutto and mozzarella. In my mind, this is the Disneyland of Italian food. The 40,000-square-foot building houses dozens of restaurants and food stalls along with imported groceries, wine, and liquor. Jason and I chose to just roam through the experience at our own pace. Next is a larger gallery with images cast on four walls ultimately ending with an oversized projection of The Last Supper. My husband, Jason, and I have made three trips to Vegas this year and each time we’ve explored the newest offerings in town. Instead of a world tour, FlyOver has two options: an epic overview of the American West or Iceland. Since we were returning from a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park, Jason and I opted for the West. After buckling in, the rows of seats lift up and move towards an enormous, curved screen.

Sin City has welcomed a lot of new projects, and viable locations on Las Vegas Boulevard don't stay empty very long.

"The project would reshape a busy stretch of the Strip that gets heavy foot traffic and is near several megaresorts," the paper added. The project, located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard just south of Harmon Avenue, would be three stories tall and later could include a hotel. The city has become a world-class shopping destination and it seems like there can never be too many massive retail developments.

The rug stinks bad, it’s not livable and for him to treat all of us like that it’s very wrong,” Wilson explained. “Due to the storm last night, we had this water damage that caused it to collapse down here. Tenants are now headed to a nearby hotel.
