A) Which sicko wants to live in a desert ?

Ever been to one?

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

Two feasible solutions have been proposed:

1. A pipeline that feeds from a deeper point in Lake Mead can be constructed, given that the current ones will soon start sucking air if the water levels continue to drop.

2. A pipeline that feeds from the underground water tables upstate can be built.  Expensive, and the rural communities are already manning the trenches in opposition, but I can see this happening in the next few decades anyway.

Also, a law was passed back in 2006 banning new houses from having lawns or gardens that require water to maintain.

No, why would I go there ? To get killed by the sun and rattlesnakes ?

Okay, I assume you're just f[inks]ing around now.  Rattlesnakes?  Seriously?


In the gulf countries they are desaltifying the salt water from the Indian Ocean. Maybe that's an option for Las Vegas too (or better desaltify it in CA already). But yeah, the costs of this would probably be massive.

It would be.  That's why I already listed for you the two feasible options under consideration.

Las what? Are you taking about the gigantic automobile slum?

Oh dear, you must have had a bad experience when you visited.  What happened?
