Trump returns to Las Vegas this week

Updated March 9, 2020 - 3:26 pm

WASHINGTON — Air Force One will touch down at McCarran International Airport Thursday night, one day earlier than expected, as President Donald Trump arrives in advance of a speaking engagement at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual meeting.

Trump will appear Thursday night at a campaign fundraiser at the home of Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, according to a Republican official who said the high-ticket event is sold out.

Trump will address the Republican Jewish Coalition on Saturday at The Venetian. The White House and Trump campaign have provided no information as to what Trump will be doing Friday.

Last month, Trump spent three nights in Las Vegas during a four-day swing of western states that also included California, Arizona and Colorado. Each night, Air Force One returned to McCarran airport and Trump stayed at the Trump International Hotel.

The Review-Journal is owned by the family of Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson. Las Vegas Sands operates The Venetian. Adelson is on the board of directors of the Republican Jewish Coalition.
