Today's News (2/26/14) Entry About Heavy Rains Coming Could Again Cause Parking Issues At The Quad

Hey Group,

Since bad weather with rain is coming to LV, don't forget that the Flamingo Wash runs through the parking lot of what's now The Quad and so I don't recommend that people park there when it rains!

More information about this is in the LVA QOD archives under "Flamingo Wash."

Wow. Still a problem?? 4 years ago a I.P. parking lot attendant showed me pictures of the water coming thru their parking lot. It had to be at least 3 feet high in the picture!
Hey Champ,

That place likely always will be a problem since it is actually part of the Flamingo Wash (for more information see the LVA QOD Archives From April 4, 2008). I remember years ago on the news here in Los Angeles seeing cars floating where there was flooding in the parking lot! It was just bad!

It really would be a decent (and the right) thing for The Quad (or CET) to put on their website (unless I missed seeing it) a notice saying that this (flooding running through the Imperial Palace/Quad parking lot during rains) has been going on and that people should be aware so that their cars don't get possibly damaged.

I actually should have made the title (and now I'm going to partially change it) say "Heavy Rains Coming Could Again Cause Parking Issues At The Quad."

And I now have found Video (on Youtube) of the Flooding In The Imperial Palace garage. It is found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZyCqge6G8. This was at least uploaded in December 2010 (you can see a sign for "Human Nature" at Imperial Palace in the Video at just before the 1 Minute mark in the Video).

I also found an article about this flooding issue at Imperial Palace from 2004 in the Las Vegas Sun which can be read at: https://www.lasvrgassun.com/news/2004/apr/06/flood-problems-plague-strip-hotel/. The article even mentions that Imperial Palace has no intention of making the parking garage any less flood prone.

And also at least in the 1970's, this also was a problem with the Caesar's Palace parking lot. I don't know if that is still the case, but that should be looked into. There was a major Flash Flood that went through the area on July 3-4, 1975. A bunch of cars got flooded at that time.
