I looked it up (because the air is very dry in Nevada) and about 32,000 gallons of water per day are evaporated at the Bellagio fountains.

An average car wash uses 40 gallons per car and washes a hundred cars per day: Source

A car wash uses 80 gallons per car. The car wash by my office probably washes a thousand cars a day.
