Trump’s ventures have long fueled business, controversy in Nevada

Voters frustrated with the choices for president in the Nov. 8 election have a unique option in Nevada to register their displeasure with politicians.

Election Day is Nov. 8, but if trends hold true, most Clark County voters already will have cast their ballots in the days prior.

A month after the debut of “The Apprentice” in 2004, Donald Trump appeared before the Nevada Gaming Control Board, seeking approval to buy a 10 percent share in the Riviera. Regulators peppered him with questions about keeping minors away from slots and lobbying activity in New York, but they approved the deal, with the chairman adding that he was impressed with the “very clean backgrounds” of Trump and his board of directors.

Donald Trump has changed his tune. After telling the moderator at the final primary debate that he would keep the suspense on whether he would accept an adverse verdict after the elections, he toned down and said that he would be happy with the result -- be it win, lose or draw. At a campaign in North Carolina, one of the crucial swing states, Trump said he was giving his best and did not want to have any regrets.

The eyes of the nation and of the world will turn to Las Vegas and the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, this evening for the final presidential debate of the 2016 election.

At 10am last Wednesday, as most of the Las Vegas strip is only just rousing, there is already a large, boisterous crowd gathered outside the gleaming golden tower that is Trump International Hotel.

It seethes in the casino city of Las Vegas before Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump takes the stage for the third and final presidential debate last night.

The finale of this year’s presidential debate series airs at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, guaranteeing audiences more of the surprises and intense performances they have come to expect from the 2016 campaign season.

Nevada voters unhappy with the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump don’t have to consider Libertarian Gary Johnson or either of the two other candidates on the ballot (Jill Stein of the Green Party failed to qualify).

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will go head to head in the final US presidential TV debate later tonight.

Choosing Las Vegas to host the third and final US presidential debate on Wednesday is significant as the city is located in a multi-cultural swing state, which will put immigration into the spotlight.
