Its good to see something positive associated with the Las Vegas Strip. It looks like many of the new mega resorts are trying to go green;
A total of 15 major new building projects in Sin City – including MGM Mirage’s new 4,000-room CityCenter set to open in 2009 – are seeking the building council’s stringent Leadership in Environment and Energy Design (LEED) Certification.
“When you are building a large-scale hotel, the long-term benefits and savings that go along with building green are huge,” says Katz.
Add the tax breaks from the state of Nevada that could put as much as three times the extra cost of constructing environmentally friendly buildings back into developers’ pockets and the odds are stacked in favour of going green.
You should actually take a look at this whole article, its pretty neat.
