``If there's something in state water law we can hang our hat on to deter this plan, the power is in Las Vegas and Clark County and they'll just go ahead and change the law,'' said Steve Bradhurst, a consultant to the rural counties. Las Vegas, located in Clark Count has an estimated 800,000 people living there out of 1.3 million people in Nevada. The city is home to the largest concentration of casinos and resorts in the United States. Three counties with only 35,000 people are fighting the Las Vegas water plan with little chance to win. Las Vegas is holding another ace up its sleeve since Clark county Casinos provide for 70 percent of the state's gaming revenues. Basically, whatever Clark County wants Clark County gets. Other counties hope they don't go down the drain if Clark County mishandles the water law.
