What Happens in Vegas? - Snows in Vegas!

How amazing is 3 1/2 inches of snow on the Las Vegas Strip! WOW! I've heard conflicting reports on rather or not it was a record amount. One report suggested the most snow ever in Las Vegas since records have been kept, while another stated worst snow in 30 years.

Regardless, I can't help but wonder what the Bellagio fountains looked like in the heavy snowfall. The normally black Luxor pyramid was white, covered with snow.

Not surprisingly, with the city only having something like four snow trucks, reports were a few flights were diverted to the Salt Lake City International airport and traffic was clogged. I guess being stuck in your hotel isn't really a problem in Vegas. In fact, that is kind of the whole point to a Vegas vacation for most visitors.

By the way, the temperature in Death Valley only got into the 40's today. Could the Pupfish be starting to stir?
