Conceivably, desalinization might play an indirect role in providing Las Vegas the water it wants.  It might be practical to pipe desalinized water to the Imperial Valley in place of the Colorado River water that now goes there and then have other users take more water further up the Colorado.

But why would California build expensive desalinization plants when we can get water from the Colorado already? Unless Nevada and other Colorado river states chipped in, I don't think California will be reducing the amount it takes from the Colorado.

Agreed, but the scheme I laid out could conceivably be the least expensive scheme for the upstream users to get more water.

Also California may need to do that anyway.  The Colorado is horrendously overdrawn already.

This is not good.

A) Which sicko wants to live in a desert ?

B) Aren't they running out of water there at some point in the next few years if this growth continues ?

A) Me.  I'd love to live there.  LOW humidity and sitting by the pool at 90 degrees with a 5% humidity is awesome.

You can have humidity that low?  As a resident of South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District, I say that "You Lie!"
