Aside

First Disney World, now Las Vegas…

The White House has just announced that President Barack Obama will travel to Las Vegas on Wednesday following the State of the Union address. He won’t be there to gamble, though: The administration says he’ll be delivering remarks at UPS Las Vegas South on Thursday morning after spending the night in an undisclosed location. No other public events have been announced, but we suspect the President will be attending a fundraiser or two while he’s in Sin City.

Last week, the President stopped by Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida to unveil his administration’s new tourism strategy for the United States.
