Did you know one of the worlds largest sustainable urban design communities is in Las Vegas?! This is the Vdara Hotel lounge which is part of the sustainable urban community, called "city center." Vdara is a gold Leed certified building with no casinos, no smoking, no clubs, no high end store fronts, no craziness, just beautiful & sustainable design everywhere with a relaxing vibe. I was just in Vegas for a design conference and we stayed here. Some say it's the best Hotel getaway on the strip & city center and I would agree.

Powerful design with sustainability in mind like this continuously inspires and influences quality of life.
