I've been in vegas once during Comdex when it rained. It was nothing like what I would call a "flash flood" around here, it just rained solid for 2-3 hours. However, since Vegas is normally a desert, apparently that's all it took to overwhelm the drainage in many areas.
The town reacted to that water like Atlantans react to snow. Cabs weren't moving very well because water was several inches deep on many streets. People were generally freaking out.
I also remember last year a week or two before the show the Imperial Palace parking garage turned into a lake. I'm also pretty sure that's where some of the seafood on their buffet came from. You know it's a bad buffet when the FFN's wont touch it.
