CNN and the Nevada Democratic Party will host a debate in Las Vegas on Thursday, bringing a bunch of righteous candidates to Sin City. Everyone but Mike Gravel will be there, including Hillary, Chris Dodd and John Edwards. (Gravel didn't rake in enough cash to earn an invite, says CNN.)
Dennis Kucinich will be around town the day of the debate, including a lunch at Tipps Thai on Spring Mountain Road. Barack Obama is already touring southern Nevada, with stops in Boulder City and Pahrump today.
Thursday evening, candidates will duke it out at the Cox Pavilion at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, just a short drive from The Strip. Since the debate starts at 5, that should give everyone plenty of time to get over to see the late performance of KA by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand.

Hey, those three-letter airport codes are pretty catchy. Why say you're from, for example, Providence when you can "represent for the PVD"? But the more non-airport places use them, the less snappy they become, as this weekend's opening of LAX, at the Luxor in Las Vegas, proves.
The club--which reportedly paid Britney Spears $100,000 to make an appearance on Friday night--is an offshoot of a club by the same name in Los Angeles. You know, where LAX the airport is. Now the Luxor is cashing in on the name recognition of the original--featured several times on MTV's "The Hills"--to draw crowds to its LAX.
We're just wondering why any club would want to be associated with a place where you have to take off your shoes, get searched and wear a seatbelt.
