Sin City Gambles on Green Theme Park

Las Vegas Goes Green

Just caught an interesting press release from PRNewsWire (via Earthtimes.org): Las Vegas’ Version of Central Park a Model of Sustainability

Here is the introductory blurb:

The Las Vegas Springs Preserve (Preserve), a $250 million non-gaming cultural attraction located a few miles off the Las Vegas Strip, is nearing construction completion. With 180 acres of green museums, botanical gardens, galleries, trails and concert venues, the Preserve is designed to set new standards in “green building” while becoming a new cultural hub for locals and even for tourists seeking a different kind of experience than you’d normally associate with Las Vegas.

Here are some interesting factoids/features:

Sounds like a great attraction! I always love hearing about ‘green’ projects going mainstream. I’m sure this will attract a fair bit of attention, and hopefully show the owners that green can be profitable as well!

Be sure to check out the original release (link is at the beginning of the post).
