What Happens in Vegas…

Barack Obama is doing it up in the White House so he deserves some serious downtime. No place better to get your chill on than Vegas. Looks like Obama shut the spot down.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—unless you’re the President of the United States.

I just got the scoop on Pres. Obama’s overnight in Sin City.

Where did he stay? What did he eat? What celebs was he hanging with? Read on for all the details!

Obama checked into Caesars Palace at about 5 p.m. yesterday. He is said to have ordered a steak from the hotel’s Neros restaurant. Then it was off to a fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Harry Reid’s re-election campaign and the Nevada Democratic Party.

I’m told Obama met backstage with comedian Rita Rudner and Bette Midler, who had performed during the gala. The Divine Miss M presented the president with two ukuleles for the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia.

He spent the night in a 22,000-square-foot suite, which features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, at least two formal living rooms, a dining room and butler’s quarters. Oh, and there’s a private pool out on the patio!

Obama hit the Qua Baths and Spa 8:30 a.m. this morning for a 45-minute run on a treadmill, according to a source.

“The spa was closed down just for him,” the source said.

How long does it take to secure a place like Caesars for the Commander-In-Chief? About a week. I’m told Secret Service first arrived last Tuesday.

After Vegas, it was off to Hollywood. The president headlines a fundraiser tonight for the Democratic Party at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

That’s what we’re talking about. First class all the way. Obama does it big.

    Due to the state of the economy, President Obama chose not to gamble at any Las Vegas casinos, but he did lose $3,000 in a alleyway craps game with Sen. Harry Reid.

    He’s enjoying all the perks. You deserve a lil R&R after sifting through all the mess Bush left behind.

    Reminds me of something from Shawshank ‘Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of sh*t smelling foulness I can’t even imagine, or maybe I just don’t want too.’

  • Edna

    Too bad, he can’t REALLY enjoy Vegas. They don’t call it Sin City for nothing.

  • luvchild

    I believe we’ve all noticed this Elle. I mean they have already dubbed him ‘a rockstar.’ The news reports more on the recreation and less on the daily activities, including meetings and what not. They’re presenting both him and Michelle this way, almost like they’re caricatures in a reality show. But…unless we(the ppl who oppose to this) have access to a national forum what can we do. I’m just hoping he knows what HE’S doing.

  • L

    WOW…He’s on celebrity status…he better slow it on down…I mean we ARE technically ina recession… IMHO

    Barack Obama is an enigma to many, especially White Americans. This is one of the few times (if any) that a Black man’s life has been put under a microscope for all the world to see, legally. I believe if the media could have access to this man using the toilet, they would. The accepted stereotypical image of Blacks is so strong, and so wrong, the White folks are trying to consistently counter it. They felt they knew the Black man, but President Obama is a slice of Blackness that they weren’t ready for. Now they’re studying him, “learnin’” him……they don’t know what to expect next. In addition, the fact that this man has the majority of the country on his side, as well as most of the rest of the world, is baffling these White folks. They’re steadily trying to figure him out. He’s making them think.

    @ Nique ummm hmmmm I’m sure you are a good girl, wish I could discover just how GOOD ;)

  • Its6amHoGetOut, I still have a headache behind that Bama ass n*gga with 21 kids!

    What? a 20,000 sq ft suite and no hoes, craps or Grey goose vodka?

    @ Caramel Cat

    You know it’s true. The White animal exhibits this type of intrigue because in order to understand, they need formulas, theorems, laws. They can’t comprehend the diversity, higher intelligence, charisma, and positivity that this Black man is putting out there to the entire world. And you know what else, I believe they’re scared. The way they’re reacting is out of fear.

    @ Mignon

    …. and waiting for him to get caught up in something negative, so they can pounce. He should never forget that he is being highly scrutinize and I’m sure he has’nt.

    @SHOMONDO

    LOL. You wouldnt be ready to find out..gotta make sure your life insurance policy covers it first.lol

  • Nique

    @6am

    YOU ARE A TRIP..LOL!!!

  • http://anonymous@yahoo.com ………

    carmel cat.. those yt are ridiculous like they spend way too much time worrying about black folks and doing so called studies on us then we do on them. maybe if they studied themselves they would get some shocking results. Did you hear the last study that folks who listen to rap music are all of low intelligence and folks who listen to Bach are of high intelligence.. what ever happen to personal choice in your likings>

    He’s realized that the Blue-eyed Devil is doing all he can to throw him off of his game. The thing is, President is walking and doing from the vein of positivity and good. He walks with a Higer power.

    “When God is for you, who can be against you”.

    If anything,the white man will be forced to concoct something to cause negative sentiment about him. He’s too powerful, and they really are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    @………

    Yeah, I heard about that study. It’s all subtle racism and it’s sickening. I am a highly educated woman with a great paying job and I teach finance part-time, but guess what, sometimes I like to pop in some hard core rap music. I guess that alone makes me less ‘intelligent’…SMH!

    @Nique… DAaaaaaaaayum! LMAO! U got him good! LOL!!

  • Souljourneys622

    oops Mr. Prez…

    *High 5* lol. Had to warn him…

    Word!

  • White Devil

    I don’t like the way they are portraying Obama’s activities either. I think that Obama is smart enough to not be the one projecting this image. He is a public servant. The president is representing us, that is why we pay for nice china and limo’s, a presidential plane, etc. We have to present a good image to foreigners and be proud ourselves of our Chief Executive.

    But renting out 22,000 square foot suites at Las Vegas Casinos, makes him seem like a gold toothed rapper or a 3rd world dictator. I don’t know if other presidents did this, but I don’t remember hearing about it.

  • Naughty Girl

    Ugh… I can’t stand this dude. When’s the next election?

  • http://anonymous@yahoo.com ………

    They didnt show all of Bush’s activities and some say he chased prostitutes>

  • E.B.M

    He went there for an event to raise $25 Million for his future campaign, not to gamble and have R&R. This is just retarded.

    If Slick Willy was still prez it would be very different trip to Vegas.YES WE CAN!!!

  • Jesus(No need to sell Him anything, because He loves you)

    Las Vegas is Sin city. We are so conditioned not to give a shit, that we dismiss the fact that it is the city of sin. Take a look at the buildings there and how they illuminate the dark and barren- symbols people. wake up, and ask God for guidance in this sick and cruel world.

    @ reggie reg

    You should have had that same concern when our country was being run into the ground by crooked people of your persausion ……(sigh)…CRACKERS.

    is this the president or jayz?

  • http://! sftbabiesbreath

    I am in the military stationed at Nellis A.F.B. and I got to shake his hand that day! I have to say that out of all the presidents we have had in the past he is the one that I had to go and see. It was a once in a life time event. His speech was phenomenal! It really was a moral booster for (us) in the military to have someone we can relate to. He was very sincere.

  • Jeremiah

    It’s not about race, it’s about how well a job he can do as president. Him going to Vegas for a few days isn’t going to hurt anything, and it’s nothing a whole lot of other presidents have done.

    At the same time, I think characterizing the media as a bunch of white racists is a bit over the top. Giving him celebrity status isn’t racist, or seeking to seem him fail, it’s just responding to what the public interest seems to be.

    @ Mignon

    They still won’t post my comment to you from yesterday.

    Which part are they afraid to post, how the govt killed King and Malcom X. or the part about the govt flooding the Black community with drugs.

  • Ara

    @ Mignon

    Or the part about how white folks cannot stand anyone who has power or major influence other than them, and once someone other than them posses those attriutes, they will without a doubt attempt to tarnish, sabotage or completely destroy them, that is their nature. Just look at their history.
