Las Vegas has experienced a number of power outages in recent months, with the latest one on Sunday night captured on camera showing an eerie view of downtown:
One of the people who responded to the tweet described how there was a loud bang before the outage this time. Photographs from inside the California Hotel & Casino showed some slot machines offline due to the outage:
The reason behind Sunday’s blackout is unknown. One of the most recent outages came in mid-February and impacted about 8,000 people, leading to the Cosmopolitan’s lights getting knocked off and disruption at Harry Reid International Airport. Three people stole copper wire from an NV Energy substation, causing that particular issue.
Law enforcement apprehended the three individuals and charged them with grand larceny. After causing $30,000 worth of damage, they sold the wire for $600.
