Earth Hour Las Vegas 2009

Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in Las Vegas.
Check out Earth Hour events at www.earthhourlv.org

Las Vegas is proud to be an Earth Hour 2009 flagship city!
On Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 p.m., Las Vegas and its surrounding communities will stand in solidarity with hundreds of millions of people around the world to make a bold statement of concern about climate change. With our light switch as our ballot, we will cast a vote for action in the first global election on climate change.

Hotel casinos on and off of the iconic Las Vegas Strip will turn off marquee and non-essential lighting for what will be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing event. Government agencies, businesses and residents of communities throughout the Valley will join to support the cause by turning off their own lights and enjoying candlelit dinners, game nights by flashlight, acoustic concerts, or simply taking advantage of the hour to spend it with family and neighbors.

We hope you will join us in sending a powerful message that Las Vegas cares about climate change and is taking action.

I am a third generation Las Vegas native. I have only seen the Strip dark twice now. My father said that he also saw the lights off after JFK was assasinated.

I was there (on the strip) when it happened, it was amazing because Vegas Never turns off lights! It was dark, that rare for a city like viva Las Vegas!

I would just love to see statistics on the power grid, and any strain that may have been caused by everyone turning all of their power BACK ON after 60 mins...
