6 Ways to Explore Las Vegas Sustainably

Climate change is hitting Sin City hard. Las Vegas was built on the concept of mass consumption. The fact that overconsumption of resources such as water, gas, and electricity occurs in a desert in the middle of nowhere only amplifies the problem.

While visiting the city, you can do your part by focusing on sustainable traveling and help Las Vegas thrive. Here are some tips to help you indulge in responsible traveling:


Swap the bathtub for a quick shower

With the increase in water consumption in the city, there’s a high risk of drought. Your little contribution toward making the city more sustainable can go a long way in maintaining the water levels in major lakes and reservoirs.

Instead of indulging in a long bath, consider taking a quick shower to decrease your water consumption. This can help save thousands of gallons of water every day.  

Reuse your towels

The idea here is simple; the most towels you use, the more water will be used in the running through the laundry. Conversely, if you reuse your towels, you can save water and ensure your children and grandchildren will enjoy as memorable a stay in Sin City as yours.

Make sure that you keep dry towels on the racks for later use. Most housekeeping staff launder towels left on the floor and skip the ones arranged on the racks.

Limit your energy consumption

Many new hotels in Las Vegas follow sustainable energy consumption practices. This includes automatic sensor installations in rooms that switch off the lights as soon as you leave the vicinity. However, if your hotel room doesn't have this facility, you could always use the switch button to keep your energy consumption in check.

Navigate on foot

Perhaps the most eco-friendly way of exploring the streets in Vegas is on foot. You could take the long route on the strip and stop periodically to enjoy all the roadside attractions. The strip is quite pedestrian-friendly, and many would argue that the best way to enjoy it is on foot.

Use eco-friendly transport

If you don’t want to navigate the city on foot, you could always rent bikes or hybrid and electric vehicles. However, since peddling through the thick traffic of Sin City on a bike may be difficult, it’s best to stick to an eco-friendly four-wheeler.

Let Cubby take care of your bags

You may have to rent a bigger car to drive around all the luggage you’re carrying. This may lead to more fuel consumption. Reduce your carbon footprint by leaving your baggage with Cubby.

They’re an on-demand luggage storage service that provides their world-class services in Boston, Houston, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Galveston, Fort Worth, and San Antonio.
