On my last trip to Las Vegas I couldn't help but notice that we need to give the city a bath! That's right, Las Vegas is dirty!

As I drove in from the north by the raceway area I couldn't help but notice that litter is everywhere. I assume there is a landfill nearby? The literature being passed out on the Strip litters the sidewalks and grounds. As I chatted with other visitors on the Strip, they said they, too, noticed.

I love your city and I'll be back. But don't bite the hand that feeds you. Let's clean up Las Vegas.
