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 evaporated at the Bellagio fountains.

    An average car wash uses 40 gallons per car and washes a hundred cars per day: Source
