14 TONS OF TRASH LEFT BEHIND IN STREET AFTER VEGAS NEW YEAR CELEBRATION

The Las Vegas Strip jammed up with people for hours before the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve. Left behind after the celebration were confetti streamers, 12-packs of Tecate and Miller Lite, water bottles, party horns and festive hats, food and soda cans, plastic bags and giant plastic cups filled with booze. The Clark County Public Works Department estimates that revelers left 14 tons of trash behind on Las Vegas Boulevard. Hilario Murillo, who has been doing New Year’s Eve cleanups for 18 years for the Paris Hotel and Casino, said, “Not too bad. I think last year was worse.”
* It’s OK – pretty much everything gets recycled into one of those Cirque du Soleil shows.
* Maybe it’s good that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
* How long does it take this Hilario Murillo person to clean up 14 tons of trash? Like, six or seven months?
* I’d like to thank them for leaving out used condoms from their list.
* Although that could come under “plastic bags.”
* 14 tons of New Year’s Eve garbage? Sounds like Mariah Carey’s performance in New York.
* Oh come on. What’s more fun than teasing a diva when she’s already pissed off?
