From reading this, I can see were point of views are different.
From my point of view (in the last 1/4 of flights out of Denver, it was a mess. Unnecessary holds, missing phraseology, high approach into Vegas (had to dive for the runway after given a visual 5 miles from the field at 6000 ft), taxi confusion in Vegas, long delay due to using only one runway at Denver (15 in line at one point, took 65 minutes to get off the ground). And the list goes on and on.
Some of the DVA pilots that were stuck with me on that conga line can attest to this. I almost went and finished my flight offline. Took 3.2 hours to get from Denver to Las Vegas: https://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x13aa86
If you click route on that flight report's map, you can see the unnecessary holds. I know events like this can cause delays, but I didn't see a reason for all the holds. At the end all it caused was a giant 100 NM gap between me and the plane in front.
Again, this was from my perspective and that of others stuck on the same line. Nothing against the controllers that night, it just wasn't great for us.

Saw this the other day on the twitter.
I expect some regulations coming in the future. Apparently it's not the first time either. It has happen in the past, just not as severe.
