Flooding forced road closures near the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday, October 11, as rain from the remnants of Rachel moved through the area. The affected roads later reopened after crews cleared mud and debris, FOX5 Las Vegas reported.
Where flooding was reported
FOX5 reporter Athena Jreij described rushing water behind the LINQ and in storm channels near the Virgin Hotel. Koval Lane and Winnick Avenue were among the roads affected by closures. The station’s report, published Sunday night, said cleanup allowed the roads to reopen.
This article describes Sunday’s flooding and the reopening reported afterward. It is not a claim that those roads remain closed or that a flood warning is currently in effect. Travelers should check current local road and weather information before setting out.
A safety reminder
The National Weather Service advises people to stay out of floodwater, whether driving or walking, and never go around road barriers. Water can conceal a damaged or washed-out roadway, so a familiar route may be unsafe when covered.
