    Morrow Royal Pavilion: They Made This Out of Beer Bottles?

    It looks like it's made of stone, but this may be one of the greenest buildings you've seen in your life. The Morrow Royal Pavilion in Henderson, Nevada, is made mostly out of recycled glass gathered from casinos and hotels on the Las Vegas strip. "It was more than just beer bottles; it was every type of glass that comes from the Las Vegas strip hotels," Cindy McCombs, president of Realm of Design, told Yahoo! Shine in an interview. Her husband, Scott McCombs, spent years developing a way to combine crushed, recycled glass with Fly Ash, a by-product from coal-fired power plants. The result is GreenStone, a concrete substitute that acts like stone, can be used in any number of ways, and is eco-friendly as well. -- By Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Yahoo! Shine

      The Morrow Royal Pavilion took about two years to build, Cindy McCombs told Yahoo! Shine, "because we did most of it ourselves." It was finished in May 2011. "Scott welded on that building for four months," she said. "he welded all of the window and door frames -- those windows actually open out."
