Las Vegas Photos of the Year – Best from Richard Brian

My favorite photo of the year is from Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017, when a violent thunderstorm moved over the Las Vegas Valley creating one of the wildest and most violent lighting shows this town has ever seen. That night there were reports of dozens of tree fires and lightning striking multiple homes in the valley. The 2017 summer storm that ravaged the city was accompanied by heavy rainfall, pea-sized hail and strong gusts that clocked in at over 70 mph in one area of Vegas. This was no ordinary storm. The way it traveled over the northern part of the valley, along with my vantage point at McCarran’s Terminal 1 parking garage, allowed me to line up some incredible shots.
