Why are fountains on the Strip and other Las Vegas resorts allowed to operate while were in a drought?
The County Commission adopted this exception under Drought Watch and Drought Alert conditions because the Las Vegas Strip is a vital part of our local economy and fountains and water features play a key role in its allure as a world-renowned tourist destination. Resorts are required to post signs at features explaining that they are allowed to operate under the drought ordinance and that the property has filed a water efficiency and conservation plan as required.
