on the fairways and the real stuff on the greens. That's one way to reduce massive water overusage and the golfers seem to be OK with it. Water out west is really expensive, too expensive to dump on grass for the pleasure of mowing the shit when it's in the high 90s.

Las Vegas also needs to get rid of those fountains that spray potable water into the air. While it makes the ambient air a little cooler, it's wasteful and most people don't notice the drop from 114 to 112.
