Las Vegas– Sin City, known more for the slogan of “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” than it’s green initiatives. Vegas is a city that makes my heart cringe but simultaneously makes me feel as excited as a kid at Disney World. Last month, after almost 10 years, I spent a week in Las Vegas for business. When I arrived, I didn’t know what to expect– I had heard that Vegas had changed quite a bit since my last visit.

Las Vegas is the gambling capital of the world with its over 150 casinos welcoming more than 41 million players each year. The Aria is well-known for offering the very best slots on the whole of the Las Vegas Strip with some machines charging $5,000 for a pull.

Asmita Prasad: Las Vegas is also known as Sin City for its over the top glitz, the way it appears to promote glamour over everything else and its promotion of the indulgence of one’s senses to the point of being gluttonous. By its apparent promotion of vices, being eco-friendly is perhaps the last thing on the minds of builders which is exactly why the Morrow Royal Pavilion stands out as a beacon of eco-righteousness in Las Vegas.
