One hour of "lights out" for Earth Hour darkened the Las Vegas Strip Saturday evening from 8:30 to 9:30. Even with the big resort's exterior lights extinguished and marquees dark, the secondary lighting from the car jammed strip plus the street lights, traffic signals, and lighted truck ads made the scene along the Las Vegas Strip only slightly dark.
While watching the lights go out along the strip I got a fleeting chill that I could be watching a dress rehearsal for the real thing now that the President has poisoned the Las Vegas well and deflected away our stream of life giving convention revenues. Just keeping the Strip lights turned on may prove to be mission impossible for some.
The ambient light dark photos offered here of this one-time "lights out" event are better if viewed in the hi-def larger sizes. Clicking anywhere within an image gets the bigger sized gallery photo. Go directly to the Flipchip Photo Galleries with this link.
