Winds gusting up to 54 mph on Tuesday blew debris
from the Monte Carlo hotel onto Las Vegas Boulevard,
closing the Strip for about an hour and ushering in the
return of colder winter temperatures for at least a
week.
Winds tore metal parts and some roofing paper from
the Monte Carlo's marquee about 5:30 p.m. Metro
Police closed the southbound lanes of Las Vegas
Boulevard to traffic from Flamingo Road to Tropicana
Avenue and later closed the northbound lanes.
The 54 mph gust was recorded at McCarran
International Airport about 5:44 p.m., National Weather
Service meteorologist Charlie Schlott said today.
