The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas are featuring the resorts’ sustainability efforts at a fall-themed display.
The display is divided into themes that showcase the resorts’ green programs. The scene meant to invoke greener suites at The Palazzo features a bed of moss, succulents and grasses. A recycled forest represents the concepts of sustainable food and composting; the scenes is made of construction debris, 70-percent recycled steel, bottles, wine corks and soaps.
A 1934 Hudson automobile stands at the center of a scene on alternative transportation; the car has been transformed with succulents, lichen, moss, grapevine, and some 5,000 drought-resistant plants to represent the properties’ bike facilities, carpooling, electric vehicle charging stations and other programs. Solar panels displayed next to the car represent the resort’s renewable energy initiatives, which include a solar system to heat water for swimming pools and spas.
A nano filtration display represents the water reclamation system the properties use to recycle 5 million gallons annually for horticulture. Meanwhile, the properties’ recycling programs are symbolized in a display of flowers with motion sensors; the flowers’ motion of opening and closing together is meant to represent structure and nature co-existing.
The display runs from Sept. 24 through Nov. 10 in The Palazzo Waterfall Atrium and Gardens.
