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.

Car washes recycle water, too.
