It's the one bright spot in Las Vegas city administration; other cities around the world come here to learn about water conservation. We only get *1.5%* of the water from Lake Mead.. and we don't even use the entire allocation!
It mostly goes to California and Arizona; the agreements were made in the 1920s when almost nobody lived in Las Vegas and the ratios were set in perpetuity.
You’re not kidding. The walk to baggage/ground transportation is so much happier than the walk to the terminals. And each group of people are passing one another in the halls. Heading to the airport Buffaloes to try to turn that last $100 into something.
I live in a small airline market, Allegiant flies to Vegas Thursday and back Sunday so it's 90% the same passengers. The difference in energy on the flights is incredible.
I call it the trailer park in the skies. Flew once to Vegas on Spirit. The two guys behind me were bragging about how they were buying drinks with stolen credit cards, and the lady sitting next to me had no problem being openly racist. Never again.

No, Buc-ees giant convienience store/gas station/truck stop/ tex mex fast food court located in Texas is the biggest. There are multiple Buc-ees throughout the Southern U.S, one just opened in Colorado. The Bonanza Gift Shop is a tourist trap and illegal tow operation.

Las Vegas has the highest suicide rate in North America. Despite the PR, social media vlogers, internet videos- it's still very common for recreational gamblers to lose everything they have in one to a few days in the casinos. This has been made easier by internet banking, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App. It isn't a joke when someone says- those billion dollar casino resorts weren't built with money from winners, but losers.
The 60,000 lbs of shrimp per day is mind boggling in and of itself. The logistics to get that much shrimp to Las Vegas everyday AND distributed to the restaurants throughout the city is even more mind boggling.
I’m pretty sure there was a guy who made a shrimp farm near Vegas, and sold almost exclusively to hotels and restaurants in or near the valley and didn’t even have to ship out of Nevada.
Venetian/Palazzo is the largest hotel (by room count) in the western hemisphere.
If you're not on board with the fact that Sands technically operates them as one resort, MGM Grand is the next largest.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_hotels
MGM Grand is the largest in the world with most rooms in a single building.
Venetian is largest in the western hemisphere with most total number of rooms, number 2 world wide.
Las Vegas has the most hotel rooms world wide with 154,662 hotel rooms.
> worlds largest landfill
TIL: Methane gas from the landfill has resulted in generation of an 11-Megawatt power plant that can meet the energy needs of 10,000 households in Southern Nevada.
A lot of machinery runs on natural gas at land fills. Another not so fun fact is all the glass that’s “recycled” is too much of a pain in the ass to sort/separate by color so it’s broken up and used in the layers of the landfill to trap that methane from escaping.
I'm not surprised to hear they don't bother recycling. Glass is really not an ideal material to recycle. I don't know why we pretend. It's heavy, cheap to make, and hard to transport and it doesn't do much to harm the environment.
The aluminum can is such a better alternative. Glass can be reused but no systems are in place to do so. You can buy say a beer, after consumed and tossed that cans been liquified, plastic liner removed, hardened and stamped into a can and filled, shipped and bought again in as little as 90 days. Plastic is another that’s just not recycled. A #1 bottle could be recycled sure. But then they put a #5 cap on it and no recycling center wants it. Just one example of hundreds that it’s just plain not recycled even after it’s been properly disposed of.
There is no way it was bigger than the rammstein pyrotechnics I saw in the indoor Viking's stadium. Granted, that was a tour and not a permanent installation like Ka.
I was told, back in the day, that Vegas was the largest consumer of Heineken in the United States. That planes coming from the Netherlands cargo holds were filled with only Heineken.
Source: Some guy walking the strip, in 1999, drinking a Heineken.
I mean every single place I’ve been to in Vegas has Heineken available and Heineken is the sponsor of the Grand Prix so it correlates at the very least
We are the ONLY state to have gay marriage sanctified in our constitution
I don’t have empirical data for this, but I would venture that we have the most vanity plates per capita in the world
This one is less of a claim but my dad was a casino executive for a long time from the 70s-90s and he recounted how he and Steve Wynn would charter jets to fly around the city and make deals with the mob so as not to be overheard by the FBI.
Surprisingly, we have one of if not the most efficient water recycling systems in the US
I’ve never met a local that actually does this but the slot machines are everywhere so it must be true. Or maybe transplants who couldn’t get home and are now haunted by their addiction every time they make any money
I went to Harrisburg, IL for the eclipse. It's exactly the middle of nowhere town you think it is. I counted no less than 10 places with slot machines.
I was at the Lowe's where this kept getting tagged and buying spray paint. I made a comment about how I am painting something at my house and not tagging anything. The girl at the cash register said that they know who it is who is doing this, he always comes in, and described him as a 35ish year old man who is just "sad" and not the brightest person. Not like that would be a surprise describing someone who feels the need to tag this around town.
There’s absolutely no way that’s even close to true. Washington state has 250,000 kids 3 or under. At an average of 7 per day that’s 1.7M diapers per day, or 52M diapers per month.
You honestly believe Las Vegas uses 52M diapers per day at the slots?
The Mandalay Bay has a giant rooftop solar power grid - I think the largest in North America. They also operate a field of solar panels just outside the city, and (iirc) all the energy MGM properties use is from these solar panels, and sometimes they even loan energy to NvEnergy
Also Shark Reef I think has the biggest fish tank in North American as well, the one with all the big sharkies 🥰
I’d also venture to say we’re the farthest of any other US city from going cashless - cash is still king here (despite Resorts World/Allegiant stadium bullsh@&)
Based on what?
I feel like a wisconsite has to drink more than the average person from Nevada. I also feel like one of the top cities would outrank Vegas in total consumed.
Edit:
This is an interesting ranking but not gross volume. Vegas doesn’t match an average number of bars and such per resident which would align more with how much is consumed by local residents. Vegas is #21
Wisconsin holds #1
I’m surprised even us in Colorado have #4
https://vinepair.com/articles/map-cities-that-drink-most/
Completely agree but I couldn’t find any evidence for pure alcohol sales or anything and I just found that interesting, that’s why I tried to point out it was not gross volume.
I just want to know what he’s basing it on - per capita, total, sales, reported, etc. I just couldn’t find anything.
Vegas tourists count for an extremely large amount of our alcohol consumption. And an extremely large amount of people physically in the city at any given time. “Wisconsinites vs Vegas (minus their Tourists)” 😂
Also I don’t think drink sales are counted in units. They are probably counted in $. That’s hard to track when tons of the drinks here are comped. Liquor sales reps maybe count in units, they’d be better to ask about this than “alcohol sales” numbers. Locals here prob pay for less than 10% of their total alcohol, and that’s guessing high.
You are totally right to question it.
California is #1 for volume and total sales for both on and off premise and Wisconsin is #1 for daily drinkers per capita
Yeah, Off Premise consumption outweighs On Premise 80/20 in many states. Vegas is the outlier where it's practically flipped, but alcohol consumption in Nevada overall isn't crazy. It's just a different business model.
The high roller (Ferris wheel) was planned to be bigger, but being that close to the airport, it had to stop at 550ft.
Also, it’s wild to be higher than planes on that thing, not something you’d usually be able to see

“Mr. Davidson argued in the case that his version is “sexier” and more “fresh-faced” than the French gift to America…. Mr. Davidson argued in court that his mother-in-law’s face inspired the Las Vegas sculpture’s design.”
Noice
This was taught in a law school class I took.
Why…
They didn’t get permission from the sculptor of the Vegas one and he sued the government.
Did he win? Curious if you copy something else, do you own rights to the photo of yours or if it’s something else entirely
In 2013, sculptor Robert S. Davidson sued the Postal Service for copyright infringement[^(\[6\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty_Forever_stamp#cite_note-Rein-6) and in July 2018, a judge ordered the [United States Postal Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service) to pay Davidson $3.5 million.[^(\[7\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty_Forever_stamp#cite_note-USNews-7)
Biggest LV win ever
He did, check the wiki article linked elsewhere in the replies
If they had used a picture of the real one, would that have been protected under public domain?
The US owns the Statue of Liberty, so kinda
Now that's a total fuckup. Dude probably just pulled it off Google
Wtf
Now that’s a fun fact
I wonder how that photographers lawsuit went.
The sculptor who made the NYNY statue won $3.5 million from the USPS.
lmao somebody dun'goofed real bad. I never heard about the sculptor getting involved. Thx for the update
And the artist sued the federal government over its use for compensation and won
The Sphinx at the Luxor is bigger than the one in Egypt
I’ve only recently realised how surprisingly small the OG sphinx is.
The real Eiffel Tower in Paris was built with inferior rivets The Eiffel Tower in Vegas was built using welded panels and beams.
Real Eiffel Tower = No casino Vegas Eiffel Tower = Has a casino Marked improvement
Also best public restrooms on the Strip.
Although more people have shat themselves under the LV Eiffel than the legit one. #slots
That always DEPENDS
Ahh I see what you did there
No Frenchmen, marked improvement
The Eiffel Tower restaurant in France has superior food though. IMO anyway.
Gordon Ramsays Steak was pretty good but yeah…. Not that good
His foods very good but nothing super fancy. Definitely not worth the prices
The food has actually improved at the LV tower. Just had dinner there a month ago. My 3rd time. I was surprised.
Rivets are stronger than welds.
Nothing wrong with rivets.
Lol right? Because there definitely aren't any other standing US buildings that used rivets /s
TBF there *might* have been some minor code changes between two buildings built in different countries and separated by 150 years.
Sure, I'll concede there's an outside chance of that.
The one in Paris was intended to be a temporary structure to be removed after the World's Fair was over. Rivets are easier to remove.

Who is the biggest in the world though? Who could possibly need more game hens than Excalibur?
The Cornish?
So crazy to me that every person that eats there gets an entire hen.
It’s not very big, to be fair.
The hen? Or the tournament of Kings?
Yes?
Ever notice pigeons are disappearing?
It’s small. About half the size of a Costco rotisserie chicken
Sheesh. Another example of too big to fail. /s
Cornish game hen for you, Cornish game hen for you….
The light on top of the Luxor has its own ecosystem
I've been to Vegas a few times and noticed TONS of bugs and bats flying around the light at night
it doesn't just guide bugs, the entire city use it for directions at night
Ubers navigate by it
Planes too
Had a cockroach crawl into bed with me in the tower
I how you used protection
The Luxor light used to be brighter. NASA requested they turn it down.
As far as I know, at full power it is the single brightest man made light in the world.
When I was in my early 20’s my buddies dad knew a higher up who took us all to the top of the Luxor. It was awesome to get to see the light room! Also where the window washers exit to clean so you could open the panels for a crazy cool view.
Water conservation, 99% of the water consumed indoors is recycled.
That’s actually quite pleasant to hear
It's the one bright spot in Las Vegas city administration; other cities around the world come here to learn about water conservation. We only get *1.5%* of the water from Lake Mead.. and we don't even use the entire allocation!
Where’s the rest of the lake going then? (Earnest question).
It mostly goes to California and Arizona; the agreements were made in the 1920s when almost nobody lived in Las Vegas and the ratios were set in perpetuity.

Highest concentration of pain and despair in the world, found at LV airport departing flight terminals.
5am check in for a 7am flight on Sunday morning.. fucking bleak looking crew of folks at the baggage drop.
Ya- that was me sleeping on the super clean floor.
Yup I’ve slept on the floor of that airport many many times
You’re not kidding. The walk to baggage/ground transportation is so much happier than the walk to the terminals. And each group of people are passing one another in the halls. Heading to the airport Buffaloes to try to turn that last $100 into something.
As a local, I hate the flights home after a long vacation. People are starting their party on the plane. I’m tried and just want to sleep.
I can imagine that hellscape of being trapped on a plane like that.
I live in a small airline market, Allegiant flies to Vegas Thursday and back Sunday so it's 90% the same passengers. The difference in energy on the flights is incredible.
If you’ve ever flown home to Las Vegas from those mid-west cities on a Friday night on Spirit it’s like a mentally-challenged party.
I call it the trailer park in the skies. Flew once to Vegas on Spirit. The two guys behind me were bragging about how they were buying drinks with stolen credit cards, and the lady sitting next to me had no problem being openly racist. Never again.
Sunday and Monday morning flights out of Vegas are hilarious. People are waaaay quieter lol
I just took this exact flight out of south bend to Vegas over Memorial Day weekend
You know it's a good spot for a vacation when you're sad you're leaving.

Is very large pint.
A mega pint?
Like ton vs tonne
How many pints is the world's largest pint glass?
About tree fiddy
Legit 20oz
It comes in pints?
You can have eleven at elevenses.
The pint glass is now home to iHeartRadio in Las Vegas, which resides on the 2nd floor, above Hennessey's.
Why did no one tell me about the world's largest Dispo 😭
Is that gift shop on Sahara and LV Blvd actually the "worlds largest gift shop"?
No, Buc-ees giant convienience store/gas station/truck stop/ tex mex fast food court located in Texas is the biggest. There are multiple Buc-ees throughout the Southern U.S, one just opened in Colorado. The Bonanza Gift Shop is a tourist trap and illegal tow operation.

The amount of food distributed in any large city in a given day is pretty incredible. And the resulting trash.
My friends dad owned a distribution company in New York. They only had two trucks but the logistics was crazy.
And you don’t really even see it. When’s the last time you saw a Sysco or other semi run down the strip?

Completely agree but I couldn’t find any evidence for pure alcohol sales or anything and I just found that interesting, that’s why I tried to point out it was not gross volume. I just want to know what he’s basing it on - per capita, total, sales, reported, etc. I just couldn’t find anything.
Vegas tourists count for an extremely large amount of our alcohol consumption. And an extremely large amount of people physically in the city at any given time. “Wisconsinites vs Vegas (minus their Tourists)” 😂 Also I don’t think drink sales are counted in units. They are probably counted in $. That’s hard to track when tons of the drinks here are comped. Liquor sales reps maybe count in units, they’d be better to ask about this than “alcohol sales” numbers. Locals here prob pay for less than 10% of their total alcohol, and that’s guessing high.
It's easy to track depletion from the distributors point of view.
You are totally right to question it. California is #1 for volume and total sales for both on and off premise and Wisconsin is #1 for daily drinkers per capita
And people travel to Cali but not to Wisconsin
Yeah, Off Premise consumption outweighs On Premise 80/20 in many states. Vegas is the outlier where it's practically flipped, but alcohol consumption in Nevada overall isn't crazy. It's just a different business model.
Go WISCO!!!
I heard that shrimp cocktail was actually invented in Las Vegas.
Is it true y’all have $8 per night hotel/motel rooms?
With a $40+ “ resort fee” yes.
So like fifty per night but they hookin’ and bonkin’ with clever tricks. I see. lol Thanks for the reply
Minimum of 100+ ZJ’s per hour on any given day..
i wonder if like 25% of that gets thrown out daily...
The high roller (Ferris wheel) was planned to be bigger, but being that close to the airport, it had to stop at 550ft. Also, it’s wild to be higher than planes on that thing, not something you’d usually be able to see
Vegas shits 40,000 pounds of shrimp a day.
I have not confirmed, but I have a suspicion that Paradise, Nevada is the Escalator capital of the world.
1,200 visitors get Crabs every day.
