Las Vegas is a genuinely difficult destination from a sustainability standpoint — a city in the middle of a desert with extreme water and energy demands. Several major properties have made significant sustainability investments; here's how to make choices that matter.
Sustainable Hotel Choices
- ARIA Resort — The first casino resort to receive LEED Gold certification. Solar energy, extensive recycling, water reduction programs.
- Wynn Las Vegas — Achieved carbon neutral status, runs on 100% renewable energy, extensive conservation programs.
- Vdara — LEED certified, connected to ARIA's sustainability infrastructure.
Transportation
- Walk the Strip where possible — reduces vehicle emissions and gives you the full experience
- The Deuce bus runs fully electric — sustainable Strip transport
- Rental EVs available at Harry Reid airport — Tesla, Rivian, and others
Water
The Southern Nevada Water Authority has reduced per-capita water consumption by 47% since 2002 through conservation programs. Visitors who take shorter showers, reuse hotel towels, and use refillable water bottles meaningfully contribute to a city that takes its water challenge seriously.
