Power has been restored to nearly all of the 19,000 Southern Nevadans who experienced outages Monday afternoon, according to NV Energy.
The outages were spread out among multiple sites across the Las Vegas valley, including the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and an area near the intersection of East Russell and South Sandhill roads.
Outages lasted for about an hour, and information on what caused the blackout was not available.
Currently fewer than 20 residences without power in the area, according to the NV Energy site.
