A vehicle crash involving NV Energy equipment caused a power outage at a Strip casino on Wednesday morning.

NV Energy spokeswoman Jennifer Schuricht said a car crashed into one of the company’s power poles, causing the outage at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

According to a statement from The Cosmopolitan, the incident caused a “temporary interruption of power” that impacted the casino’s Chelsea Tower. Electricity was restored, according to the emailed statement, which was sent about 9:35 a.m.

It was not immediately clear how long the outage lasted.
