The other commenter's point is that Las Vegas returns almost all of the water it consumes cleaned and back to Lake Meade. As a municipality their net water consumption is close to zero.

It's other municipalities and agricultural ventures that are draining Lake Meade not Las Vegas. Vegas pulls water from Meade, treats it and then returns it back to the reservoir.

If you're going to pick on water wasters Vegas isn't where you want to start. There's plenty of other reasons to pick on Vegas, water isn't one of them.

That's the first search result when I searched "Vegas water conversation" it wasn't hard to find.

How is that possible, due to evaporation?

Elimiating lawns is a great idea, seeing as they live in a massive desert. I approve of that, for everyone who cares.

the famed fountains at the Bellagio Hotel use water from a private well — not the Colorado River. He also said the water that evaporates into the hot desert air is replaced with recycled water from a 1.5 million gallon pool.

so... they just drain groundwater?
