TL;DR

Las Vegas experienced record rainfall, breaking a daily record set in 1948, with the LINQ Las Vegas Hotel's parking structure flooding and water rushing around the monorail. The Harry Reid International Airport recorded 0.37 inches of rain, surpassing the previous February 5 record of 0.33 inches set in 1948. The storm comes just days before the Super Bowl, which will take place in Las Vegas for the first time, but conditions are expected to dry up well before the weekend.
