Yenra has the details of the plans for MGM Mirage's Project City Center, a vertical city with a city to be located on the Las Vegas Strip. It will be an urban environment with hidden parking structures and a complex of rooftop gardens. In keeping with the other pre-fabricated environments in Vegas, the "neighborhood" will be a mini-city with mixed use buildings and walkable space. The gargantuan $6 billion project includes 66 acres of cafes, retailers, boutique hotels and residential building including some frontage along the Strip. The city's center will of course be casino with a 3000 room hotel. There will be plenty of glitz in the form of light shows projected against building facades and Times Square style neon.

Where is Vegas going to get all the water for all these condo and residence projects? And electricity? The Colorado can only give so much.

i heard a commentary on npr's podcast "most e-mailed stories" for Tue Sept 20, 2005, that it will be self-sustainable, have "reclaimed water" and it's own electrical generator.

There are several governmental bodies that regulate use of the Colorado River watershed. The Las Vegas Valley Water District, Southern Nevada Water Authority, and the federal Bureau of Reclamation all monitor and appropriate water supplies. There has been a ton of rain in Las Vegas this year, making up for several years of drought. Water levels at Lake Mead have recovered from their lows, but are not back to pre-drought levels quite yet. Another good year of rain might do the trick, along with some conservation.
