It's hard to remember that staid, Mormon, middle-of-the-road Harry Reid is the senator who represents Sin City, a.k.a. Las Vegas. It's kind of hard to imagine him partying down in one of the big Strip casinos, spinning the roulette wheel and spraying champagne all over some cocktail waitresses' blouses.
But that's exactly what he's going to do next week, and he's bringing his buddy Barack Obama with him!

Well, except for the roulette and waitresses thing. But the two top Democrats are indeed planning a huge fundraiser at Caesar's Palace, frequently cited as the most debaucherous casino in Vegas!

In addition to Obama, the May 26 event will feature some sexy showgirls - well, if you would call Democratic stalwarts Bette Midler and Sheryl Crow sexy.

Not invited: Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, who went on the attack against Obama last month for a disparaging remark about his city being a destination for corporate excess.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
