STORY:
Hotel Drops New Year's Eve Olive

According to an off-beat columnist for the Los Angeles times, the famous lighted ball that drops at Times Square every New Year's Eve is finally getting some competition. San Francisco's St. Francis Hotel plans to usher in the year 2000 with a huge lighted olive that will plunge 32 stories into a massive electronic martini glass.

The hotel will also launch fireworks from its roof and is offering a special "millennium suite" for just $99,000. By the way, the price includes free dance lessons.
