Modern mega-casinos are designed to be self-contained cities, offering absolute comfort and sensory overload 24/7.

Operating a massive hotel-casino complex requires a shocking amount of electricity, water, and waste management.

How Casinos Consume Electricity and Water

A single mega-resort uses more electricity in a day than many small towns consume in an entire month.

Furthermore, maintaining lush golf courses and massive decorative fountains in arid environments requires an enormous amount of water.

• Casinos rarely turn off their exterior lights, contributing significantly to urban light pollution
• The constant influx of millions of tourists drastically increases local carbon emissions from air travel and taxis
• Lake Mead, the primary water source for Vegas, has seen record low levels due in part to the massive local demand

How Casinos Are Becoming More Sustainable

Recognizing the growing concern from the public, many major operators are aggressively pushing towards sustainable practices.

Several resorts in Las Vegas are now partially powered by massive solar panel farms located just outside the city.

The casinos of the future will need to prove that they can provide world-class entertainment without destroying the planet.
