Vegas Lights Shut off?

Question

I was watching some show about a year ago, and they were mentioning important events in history, and one of them was the Las Vegas lights shutting off.

The whole strip's light completely shut off, and they were left in the dark.

I'm not talking about the recent one that happened in March 2008 in Luxour, Excalibur, and Mandalay Bay.

Does anyone have news, videos, or pics of that?

Answer 3

Frank Sinatra died at 10:50 pm on May 14, 1998 the next night "The Strip" was dimmed for a minute.

Answer 4

The lights have gone out because some driver hit a power transformer or for a short time to honor a person who had recently died like to honor people for 9/11.  

Casinos have a backup generator for essential should the power go out, but that does not include the neons outside.
