mercurynews.com — A geothermal water source just north of the new 17-story hotel tower will generate enough heat and hot water for all 2.1 million sq ft of the resort's space. The system will be used to heat all restaurants, casino floors, plus every shower and sink in 1,600 hotel rooms year-round. The project is expected to save $1 million a year in energy costs.

You're not the first person to think of it...if it were financially viable, it would be done. Hopefully solar will become cheaper.

When your casino is only 17 stories tall it's best not to emphasize the fact.

You're right, they send a lot of their power there. The state of Nevada does get a huge chunk of it, though.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_dam#Power_distribution" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_dam#Power_dist ...</a>
