The lights of the world-famous Las Vegas will go dark Saturday in
conjunction with other cities around the world to raise awareness
about conservation.

World Wildlife Fund organized the Earth Hour event and says it is
designed to bring focus to climate change.

The lights at several Las Vegas properties will go dark starting at
8:30 p.m.

Haha.. they're not doing it save energy. It's a publicity thing. A few moments dark, then everything lights up again.

Ohh, one hour of lights off. They're really saving the world now.
