I don't understand how they're going to miracle up the water at a reasonable cost to make this remotely feasible.

Many of the trees planted here can handle the harsh climate of Las Vegas summers and infrequent watering [1], not even mentioning that we recycle nearly 40% of our water and are amongst one of (if not the most) water efficient cities in the world [2].

If you can't tell I'm a bit of a proud Las Vegas local having grown up here, so there's bias in my words.
