[quote=FlyerInHi]Can we not build a big pipeline to bring water from the Mississippi or Canada? Something on a Hoover dam scale, but proportionately bigger in relation to the size of the current economy.

The third straw cost almost $1B for a 3 mile pipeline. Las Vegas is about 1500 miles from the Mississippi River. Forget the cost, who would have the authority to build such a pipeline across 4 states?
Thinking big, why not build a pipeline to the CA central coast and grab all the Pacific Ocean water you could get? Just add a couple of desal plants and NV would never have to worry about water again.
