Prez will speak at Aria!
The theme of the speech?
President Obama will touch down in Vegas with a bit of controversy nipping at his heels.
For starters, the Governor will not be greeting the Commander-in-Chief when he alights onto the tarmac late this afternoon.
Although some have tittered that the State's Chief Honcho is snubbing the President because he is still pi**ed over remarks Obama uttered up last year that resulted in a mammoth loss of business to the desert Oasis's Convention business - the Governor's handlers swear up-and-down that scheduling conflicts are the reason for the failure to bow down.
Also, some are grumbling that during a stellar week of Tourism - operators of aerial sight-seeing tours conducted by helicopter - may lose up to a half-a-million dollars in revenue over the next twenty-four hours because the flights have been restricted above Las Vegas pending the arrival and departure of the President's carrier.
Ouch!
The President is in town to rally and raise funds for Harry Reid.
In addition, Barack Obama is scheduled to give a prepared speech at Aria around the dinner hour.
But, get this!
Instead of hunkering down at CityCenter's crown jewel, the President has elected to takelodging a hop-and-a-skip away at Caesar's Palace.
Maybe the administration is taking a cue from the Queen (Elizabeth II, silly!) and being budget-minded this trip?
Or, perhaps Caesar's is more suitable digs for an "Emperor" of Obama's ilk?
Just maybe, he's hopped up over the idea of taking in a glitzy Vegas show!
News at 11.
Obama has a thing about Imperialist flourishes!
