Colorado river and Lake Tahoe are drying up. If I’m not mistaken those are the major water sources for Vegas. How could further expansion be possible under those circumstances?
Why I'm responding 2 years later who tf knows.
But we have 10 years of water stored in both wells as well as being feed by 3 aquifers. Lake Mead has seen a rise but last year was an outlier for rain and mountain snow so who knows.
Las Vegas has becoming a model city on a global scale for water conservation. If anything, it's Utah's wasteful bullshyt (which the feds will starting coming down hard on) and Southern California draining Lake Mead. But yeah I get it, the economy is propped up by folks coming in and spending money, so anything that impedes that puts the LVV in a huge bind. Other than being a rich man's playground and a backup plan for economically displaced Californians , we really don't offer the world anything good. By existing, Las Vegas leave the world in a worse place. Population will continue to grow until we become completely landlocked and the population will settle.
But sports attendance isn't an issue. NHL in the fukking desert draws standing room only crowds nightly. The A's or whatever they'll be branded as will do well.
