Las Vegas Is Flooded As Thunderstorms Trigger Rainfall INSIDE Casinos

Despite his recent run of success, Reddick has been backed by only 3.7 percent of the bets and 5.1 percent of the handle. He's making his fourth career Cup Series start at Michigan International Speedway.

"This is one of those race tracks where it just takes everything. You've got to have power. You've got to have the right amount of downforce and right amount of drag out of it. You've got to hit that balance just right. You've got to call the race just right. Michigan is still Michigan. I don't see that being very different than what it's been in the past."

"About time," Wallace said.
"It took me five years to get my first pole. It's a testament to 23XI, everybody on the No. 23 team. They've been doing a tremendous job all year long, really. Just haven't had the finishes we deserve, but proud for everybody just sticking through it.

I know the reasons, but hopefully this race track falls into our wheelhouse from an engine perspective. It seems like a lot of times that's why we've seen so much success here is the Roush Yates power, especially on the top end, has been pretty good...

4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford has an excellent record at Michigan. Harvick is a five-time winner at the track, and four of those victories have come after a repaving in 2012. Before last year's race, when he finished 14th, Harvick had won three straight races (and four of five) at the 2-mile speedway.

--Kyle Busch (+650 at BetMGM) is the pre-race favorite at +650.
He opened at +600 and has since seen his odds lengthen slightly as Busch has been backed by a modest 4.6 percent of the bets and 4.9 percent of the handle at the sportsbook.

The National Weather Service for Las Vegas issued a flash flood warning on Thursday evening and a flood advisory warning until 12.15am on Friday. The rain is expected to continue throughout the weekend, forecasters said

Outler said: 'There are daily chances. Right now the rain has tapered off across the valley but just about every day, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, we have about 30% chances for Las Vegas.'

"The new regulator will be truly independent, and will be directly funded by the Casino Supervisory Levy paid by both casinos, with independent decision-making on licensing and disciplinary matters," Mr Anderson said.

HONG KONG, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Macau's government said on Friday it would resume ferry services with the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen on Aug.
8, as authorities try to unwind stringent COVID-19 restrictions in the world's biggest gambling hub.

In Saturday's time trials, Ford teammates Joey Logano and Austin Cindric qualified fourth and fifth, respectively, with Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones completing the top 10.

Busch, wife Samantha, son Brexton and baby daughter Lennix were visiting the Mall of America when word of an active shooter cascaded through the crowded facility. Samantha and Lennix were separated from Kyle and Brexton, who were waiting in line for a ride.

After turning a blistering lap on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway, Bubba Wallace had no idea he had won the pole for Sunday's Firekeepers Casino 400 (3 p.m.
ET on USA, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

The last driver to make a qualifying run, Wallace knocked fellow Toyota driver Christopher Bell (189.898 mph) off the provisional pole by a whopping .160 seconds. Kyle Busch was third fastest at 189.868 mph as Toyotas swept the top three starting spots.

His run of bad luck included a disqualification after running second at Pocono, where post-race inspection revealed tape added to the nose of his Camry and that of ostensible race winner Denny Hamlin, who also was disqualified.

"And then we just stayed on the phone together because she told me, `There's an active shooter and shots have been fired in the mall.' And at that point, active shooter or somebody shooting at another person, whatever shots being fired, you don't know.

That could be significant, given that five of the last six Michigan races have been won from starting positions of third or better. The exception was the second race of 2020, when the top 20 finishers from the previous day were inverted to start the second leg of a weekend doubleheader.

While runoff from storms in the Las Vegas area will reach the lake, monsoon moisture is not likely to affect the ongoing regional drought, John Adair, a veteran meteorologist at the weather service office, said.

Henderson, who had been inside Caesar's Palace when the rain began pouring through the ceiling, said desperate staff cordoned off a flooded area 'with makeshift barrier of soaking wet slot machine chairs'. 

'For that, we generally rely on the winter season, where we get multiple Pacific storms coming in and covering a wide area with rain and snow,' the meteorologist said. 'That can make a significant impact on drought.'

Fortunately, Busch and his family got out of the mall unharmed, but to the driver of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, the experience was emblematic of the last two months. Frustrated in his contract negotiations for 2023 and beyond, Busch comes to Michigan on a career-worst streak of seven races without a top 10.
