Its one of the smaller atrocities in Vegas, particularly when compared to the Bellagio Fountain or the food waste generated by all those casino dining halls.

The fountains aren’t quite as wasteful as they seem. They use a lot of water compared to a house, but way less than some car washes.

Plus it is recycled. They would only replace what is lost due to evaporation or after a drain and cleaning.

I looked it up (because the air is very dry in Nevada) and about 32,000 gallons of water per day are lost at the Bellagio fountains.

A car wash uses 80 gallons per car. The car wash by my office probably washes a thousand cars a day.
