So… last week?
When we moved here in June 2014, or even my brother and sister in law explained how to survive. Visitors can’t be expected to follow the monsoon rules: get up before 5, stay inside between 9 and sunset, and it’s still hot after dark.
The company I work for provided all the water solutions (plumbing needs) for the new Allegiant and while it legit saves a lot of water I still always think, but why is there a huge city in the middle of the desert...
As the resident of a different desert city that relies somewhat on the same water source, believe me, it’s maddening. We banned front lawns and were at the head of the curve on reclaimed water. They’re doing *waves hands frantically* gigantic fountains and fake Venetian canals and lawns…
Went to conference in Vegas once. In August. The dust and the heat were awful. And I remember walking by casinos with open doors and cold air just blasting out. I can’t imagine any set of circumstances that would get me back there.
Honestly, if I had to guess I don't think that stadium is ever getting built there (this does very little to address the insane environmental concerns of building a tourist city in the fucking desert)
They're gonna play in Sacramento for 2-3 years and be an embarrassment, at which point MLB will figure out some kind of buyout/sale to put an adult in charge of the franchise, and I _still_ don't think they'll wind up in Vegas at that point.
