"Sometimes you have to travel to the mountains to see the snow, and now you don't have to," said Jose Villeda, 38, as he walked out of his kitchen job at Lavo, a restaurant and nightclub at the Palazzo hotel-casino. Snowfall is common in nearby mountains hills, but not on the Strip, Villeda said after walking down a ramp from the hotel sticking out his tongue to catch snowflakes. Up to 10 inches could fall in the suburbs in the western foothills of the Spring Mountains, National Weather Service Meteorologist Andrew Gorelow said.

Gorelow said a powerful wet Pacific storm with an Arctic chill were rolling through the area. He says 3 inches would break the December record of 2 inches set in 1967, but wouldn't match the Las Vegas winter record of 9 inches set in 1974. The near whiteout conditions had school officials considering a snow day for Las Vegas students. The Nevada Highway Patrol and Las Vegas police reported fender-benders on slippery roads, but no serious injuries.
