If it were in any other city in the Western Hemisphere, Las Vegas’ Springs Preserve, which debuted in 2006, would be no secret.

In the midst of an apparent global emergency around the subject of climate change, a well-designed, nearly new recreational and educational facility dedicated to raising awareness of sustainable living should be hitting it out of the park.

But this is Las Vegas. To date, it’s not uncommon to run into locals who still haven’t heard of the Preserve and, certainly to its developers, a disappointingly tiny number of tourists have seemed willing to drag themselves away from Vegas’ more sinful offerings.

Keep clear! Paris Hilton invades London to promote her reality show. She's out to enslave our young!

Hilton was later overheard in Mayfair while out drinking and carousing at the Cuckoo Club before moving to the Kingly Club in Soho. All of this was, of course, captured by the MTV cameras as a sign of her angst in picking her new right-hand lady in "My New BFF."

Since Hilton still contends via Funny or Die that she's running for president, would that make her new BFF her running mate? Maybe she should go with her onscreen buddy in her new "campaign ad," former "West Wing" star Martin Sheen.
