Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay floods after water main break, displacing 1,000 guests
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Guests were treated to a surprise at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Tuesday, after a water main break led to major flooding on the Convention Center floor, ultimately displacing 1,000 people.
According to Fox 5, water was observed leaking around 4:30 p.m. from the area between the first and second floors of the convention center, onto the first floor. The cause was soon attributed to a water main broken in a loading dock area.
After arriving at the scene, Clark County firefighter proceeded to relocate roughly 1,000 people from the second floor to other areas of the hotel as a precautionary measure.
