LAS VEGAS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: Pretend We Don’t Exist. “People in Las Vegas and other Nevadans have just about had it with President Barack Obama invoking their city’s name when he wants to make a point about wasteful spending.”

Yeah, Washington, D.C. kinda overshadows them. . . .

UPDATE: Blowing Cash in Vegas v. Blowing Cash in DC.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Rob Bohn emails: “I don’t know if this is already scheduled – but shouldn’t the Republican National Convention in 2012 be held in Las Vegas? That should be good for a few Nevada electoral votes.” Heh. And I’ll bet they could get a good deal on the hall. . .
