The water straight out of your hotel tap is disgusting, but the restaurants filter it in some way that the tap water there is fine. No need to order bottled water in a restaurant unless you want to.

I always make sure to bring a bottle of bottled water back to the room at night to drink if I wake up in the night (usually just get it along with my cocktails while gambling).

Cold water, one dollar!!!If you get desparate there are all sorts of people selling it. Plus you can always grab a few bottles, here and there while gambling.

I drank the tap water and it was yucky....I much prefer to get ice and let it melt in the night and drink the melted ice water (they must filter the water before it freezes...at Palazzo at least.)

My memory of Vegas tap water is that it tastes bad. However, the last couple of times I've tried tap water in my hotel room, it tasted fine. Either I'm getting used to it (a possibility), I'm going crazy (a definite possibility), or some hotels soften/filter their water.

If you just add a little scotch to it the tap water tastes great!!

I drink the tap water in Vegas all the time.

Just got back from vegas recently and Gallon jugs of drinking water at Walgreens were $1.19. I was there 4 days and used 2 gallons for myself (including making morning coffee as I hate coffee that tastes like chlorine).

water is cheap in wallgreans I dont think I would drink the tap water, over bottled.

Also like Shirl said where in the UK cant you drink tap water???

As mentioned, nothing wrong with the tap water, but a lot of people just don't like the taste compared to bottled water, because everybody nowadays just HAS to have bottled water! What did we do 20 - 30 years ago when there was no bottled water????

Doesn't Las Vegas use "recycled water" (toilet to tap), directly or indirectly?

Las Vegas, Nevada – Since the 1950s secondary treated wastewater has been discharged into the Las Vegas wash. The wash is located between the Las Vegas Valley and Lake Mead and represents two percent of the flow into Lake Mead. Lake Mead is the primary drinking water source for the Las Vegas Valley.

Probably the percentage discharged into Lake Mead has increased due to the population explosion in Las Vegas.

Pack a bottle of squash and you're laughing.

I can't help wondering how many people know the test results for their own city water.

From the Las Vegas Valley Water District:

The Las Vegas Valley's drinking water meets or exceeds all federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards. In fact, our water is tested more thoroughly and frequently than most bottled water.

Again- once in Vegas- just taste the water and decide for yourself if the taste is acceptable.
