The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

      Its one of the smaller atrocities in Vegas, particularly when compared to the Bellagio Fountain or the food waste generated by all those casino dining halls.

          Plus it is recycled. They would only replace what is lost due to evaporation or after a drain and cleaning.
