My guess is the blue screen picture is fake, but it’s still pretty funny.

    Only a matter of time before somebody hacks this and starts playing porn for the whole city.

    Yeah, it’s amazing how much of a pass Vegas gets about the complete lack of sustainability. Like, for instance, I don’t know, having tons of thirsty tourists and gigantic pools in the middle of a freaking desert! Kinda nuts…

    Thanks for that, I definitely learned some. I’m not surprised that it takes some smart thinking to get this to even be remotely possible, and it’s interesting to read what smart thinking goes into it. I was at Lake Mead recently, and it was impressive to be explained how much it had receded over the past few years, and how much of a strain on it Vegas keeps putting despite the mitigation. I wonder how long before it just runs out, if it does; and what happens next.

    The US has terrible land management in general. You build these huge sprawling cities made of low density suburbs, both wasting productive farmland in the east and isolated in the middle of the desert in the west. It's all completely nuts.
