  • A Study of Water Use by Casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada: the Transformation of a Desert Into an Oasis
    A STUDY OF WATER USE BY CASINOS IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: THE TRANSFORMATION OF A DESERT INTO AN OASIS Sam Bruketta* Water is one of the scarcest resources in the Western United States. But when you drive down Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada you wouldn’t believe that you are in one of the driest places in the Western United States. Las Vegas is best known for the “Strip” – a 4.2-mile resort hotel and casino corridor. The most iconic feature of the Strip is the fountains outside the Bellagio Resort and Hotel. In front of the Bellagio there are more than one thousand fountains that shoot water over 100 feet in the air.1 The fountains are contained in an 8.5-acre lake which holds more than 22 million gallons of water.2 Yet, water activists often criticize the Bellagio for this man-made lake because it loses nearly 12 million gallons of water per year due to evaporation.3 With the average household swimming pool holding approximately 20,000 gallons of water4, the water lost per year is enough to fill six hundred pools. Water is being used everywhere you turn on the Strip. From the 18,000 square foot dipping pool at the Venetian Resort and Hotel to the 1.6-million- gallon shark aquarium at the Mandalay Bay. Based on these water-extravagant * J.D. Candidate, May 2021, William S. Boyd School, University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Notes Editor UNLV Gaming Law Journal.
