Hillbilly says when getting inside hotels, everybody's good & everything but when you're on the streets, he was amazed as to how much dirt & filth's out there. He says garbage cans were loaded over, says there were flyers all over the road where they hand out the little "girly things", says everyone gets them & says "ha ha" & throws them on the ground. He asks as to why wouldn't a city like that [Las Vegas] that has millions of people coming in & clean it up a little better then that. Percy says he's a great believer on how people treat their surroundings, especially outdoor surroundings as a reflection as to how they feel about themselves. Percy says he's got zero patients for people who trash up God's garden, Hillbilly tells those in Vegas that he loves coming there & it's a wonderful place & have lots of fun & tells those there to pick up the trash & litter. He says instead of those guys handing out flyers & stuff, take a week & have them pick up that stuff because all those things people just take them & throw them away. He says that's his opinion, says he loves Vegas & loves going there & says it's got great energy with great shows & food. He says it's got a great desert that's just a mile or 2 out of town & asks to keep Vegas clean. Percy agrees, then asks him if he's seen any music when he was in Los Angeles.
