The Greening of the Las Vegas Strip
We can’t help it. We lead charges. It’s what we do.
In this case, the charge we’re leading is the “greening of the Strip.” MSNBC just published a great article about how our Pulse of Vegas resorts, and other hotels on the Strip, are making dramatic strides on the conservation front. Read more.
A highlight: “Harrah’s Entertainment, which owns Bally’s, Caesars Palace and Paris Las Vegas, among others, has spent $60 million on conservation projects over the last six years. In Las Vegas, major efforts include a multi-resort laundry facility that cuts water use by 30 percent — despite a 40 percent increase in capacity — and a five-megawatt cogeneration plant at the Rio that generates enough electricity to power one of the hotel’s two towers.”
You should get a cogeneration plant. They’re awesome.
Our effort is called CodeGreen. We were going to call it CodeChartreuse, but look at all the ink and pixels we conserved!
We’re not going to go on and on about how green we are. That’s not how we roll. Although we do sometimes add links to our blog posts that lead to interesting lists of awards we get for our greenish efforts. Hey, it happens.
