las vegas has adopted a drought tolerant ordinance. we're using less water today than we used five years ago, despite over 300,000 new residents. i think it's a pretty amazing example as to how a town can really turn on a dime if there's the political will and if the public gets behind it. narrator: even the casinos and resorts have adapted to efficient water use. mulroy: the las vegas strip uses only 3% of all the water that we deliver. and when you think about it, it's the largest economic driver in the state, the largest employer, bar none. they knew they had to go the extra mile. and they've embraced conservation. and it's almost beyond belief that they're right now in the process of building another 15,000 rooms. southern nevada recycles 100% of its wastewater. so for every gallon we put back in the colorado, we can take an additional gallon out, or we send it to reuse facilities. and we deliver it to golf courses and parks and other outside applications. man: water's about a third of our budget. that's a lot of money. the lake ri

there is one that owns a casino in las vegas. he's actually given more money to super pac's in 2012 than anybody else in the country. at least that's what my understanding is. but to him this is chump change. so far, he has given $35 million. that's a lot of money to most people but it's not a lot of money to this guy because he has a net worth of $24.9 billion. so we did some math at home and what we figured out was that in colorado -- in america, i guess, in the u.s., the average family's net worth is roughly $77,000. that's their net worth. so if they were to spend the same percentage of their net worth that this one casino owner in las vegas has spent of his net worth, that would be about $108, which is about what people spend a week on groceries who are making this kind of money. to them, that would be a little bit of a sacrifice, i guess, $108, but if they knew they could control the outcome of elections in state after state after state, if they could influence the election of the very president of the united states by spen
