10. The first burrito served in a Strip buffet. Wait, scratch that -- it's still waiting under the same heat lamp

9. Chunk of nuclear waste headed toward Yucca -- it should be safe to get near it by 2105

8. Tape of Wayne Newton's "Danka Shoen." Why should we be the only ones to suffer?

7. Costume from "La Femme" showgirl -- at least it won't take up much space

6. Memorable, inspiring speeches from Las Vegas City Council and Clark County Commission meetings -- we'll even provide the quarter sheet of stationery needed to list them

5. Lefty Rosenthal's Cadillac Eldorado -- that's about how much is left

4. Area 51 refrigerator magnet

3. The first graffiti tagger's thumb cut off on TV under Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman's graffiti control program

2. Program from Cirque du Soleil's "O" -- future generations will find it difficult to believe that it once was possible to see people swimming and doing gymnastics with burning sticks for only $150

1. Whatever goes in, deliver it by helicopter because if it's coming via Interstate 15 at rush hour, it will arrive just in time for the bicentennial
