The LINQ, formerly the Imperial Palace, was built smack dab on top of a natural feature known as the Flamingo Wash which is a waterway that drains water from the Las Vegas Valley toward Lake Mead.Īlthough it’s typically dry as a bone, the wash comes to life when it rains.
We all know it happens, and are constantly reminded that “It’s supposed to work that way”, but many are left wondering why the issue doesn’t get fixed. No matter how many times it’s happened, the same clips seem to dominate social media. Every time it rains in Las Vegas, we seem to be bombarded by video and images of water rushing through LINQ’s parking garage.
