Updated: March 27, 2009 10:46 AM PDT

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.

Ever heard about phantom load?

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

Publicity scam.

Turning off a few lights won't quell my burning hatred for all things Esurance.

 

[Kashta]

Publicity scam.

Yep, that's all it is. Get people talking.

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

Although, it isn't nearly as stupid as this:

again.. they're not trying to MAKE a difference through actually using less power, just get more people to be AWARE.
