The record has stood since 1969 when 0.96 inches of ranfall was recorded at Harry Reid International Airport. May 2025 has broken that within six days when accumulative rainfall reached 1.45 inches due to an intense thunderstorm.

It wasn’t just rain either. Las Vegas Locally report that some areas of Las Vegas experienced snow and hail on Monday.
Some of Las Vegas’ casino operators are experiencing grey clouds too. MGM Resorts International announced it was ending in-person concierge services at two of its Las Vegas properties last month, laying off a number of staff to do so. The share prices of MGM, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Resorts have all dropped substantially so far this year.
