LV is mostly gravel in its “natural state”. They even export the stuff. It’s really a lot like a naturally cleared plot of land with no uses outside of modern tech. (Modern tech includes a lot of water recycling and choosing plants suitable to the desert.)
Edit-I lived and worked there for 10 years. Ultimately it’s just too hot and dry for me. I like being outside too much and miss actual wild/green areas closer by. I saw it actively push out any business not gambling too. So pointing at the golf courses and casino tourist attractions as waste of water is probably a waste of time.
TLDR Las Vegas is Americas “Arrakis.” Complete with Fremen locals and probably a few Muad'Dibs it’s welcomed and ultimately rolled.
