Hundreds of people waited in a long line wrapped around slot machines at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa to get in to see President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Tom Port, a professional driver, said he is saving money with Trump's move to cut tax from tips.
"That's about the best thing he could have possibly done for me, considering a large portion of my income comes directly from tips," said Port, 36.
Terilyn Taylor, 60, a teacher in Las Vegas, said she likes Trump, but also thinks home prices, interest rates and gas prices are too high.
"I don't think it's all Trump's fault," she said. But she would like to see the Iran war end.
"I thought the gas prices would be temporary, so I'm really ready for the Iran thing to be resolved," she said.
Trump insults Canadians as he takes the stage in Las Vegas
In his speech, Trump expounded on the tariffs he's imposed that's touched off a contentious trade war with Canada and told the crowd that, "Canada's nasty. They are. They're nasty."
"I love the people, but they're nasty," Trump added.
Las Vegas' tourism-dependent economy has been hit by a slump in visits from tourists and the city's mayor has said visits from Canada — Nevada's largest international market — has dried up in the wake of Trump's trade policies and insults to its northern neighbor.
After insulting Canadians, Trump promotes a mining project in Nevada by a Canadian firm
Trump in his speech brought up the development of one of the world's largest lithium mines in northern America, the Thacker Pass project.
The U.S. government last year announced it was taking a minority stake in Vancouver-based Lithium Americas, which is jointly developing the mine with General Motors. The U.S. also took a 5% stake in the mine itself.
Trump told the crowd in Las Vegas, more than 500 miles away on the other end of the state, that "Many people in this audience are going to be working there, and you are working there."
He didn't mention that the U.S. government was taking a stake in the project, but shortly after that in his speech, he began warning about the dangers of communism.
Trump at start of Nevada address honors fallen Las Vegas police officer
Officer Austin Abdelnabi, 30, a U.S. Marine veteran, was killed in the line of duty on Tuesday while responding to a report of a person with a gun acting erratically and waving a firearm in the air at a business, according to police.
"Austin died a hero, and he will never be forgotten, never going to be forgotten," Trump said. "So to every law enforcement officer here today, we thank you for your service. And we say, God bless the men and women of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. And frankly, all of law enforcement."
Trump's comments came after a man in the crowd loudly booed Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo when he referenced Abdelnabi before the president took the stage.
"No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently," Lombardo replied.
Trump says U.S. exports are 'totally on fire in a positive way'
The president is trying to convince Americans that his policies have led the rest of the world to buy American goods, but his claims lack context.
"Just yesterday, it was announced that American exports are totally on fire in a positive way," Trump said. "They've skyrocketed exports to the highest level in American history."
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Tuesday that American exports in June fell 0.9% to $314.7 billion. On a three-month moving average, exports are also down.
However, exports have increased 11.7% so far this year, largely because of increased exports of gold, oil and other energy products. Energy prices have increased this year because of the Iran war.
Trump again insists that his White House ballroom is a 'military complex'
The president told the Las Vegas crowd, "I'm building this big military complex" and that it includes "a lot of different things, and some of the things I can't even talk about."
Later, though, he said the project will still be a ballroom.
Trump originally said the ballroom that he demolished the White House's East Wing to build would be paid for himself and some friendly donors. But costs have ballooned and Senate Republicans eventually tried to advance $1 billion in funding for White House security and military improvements as part of the new complex.
That proposal has since stalled. But Trump continues to say the ballroom will have strategic value, saying it will include things like drone ports.
Trump lashes out at Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee
The president called Abdul El-Sayed a communist and predicted that the Democrat would lose to Republican nominee Mike Rogers, a former congressman, in November's general election.
Trump made particularly charged comments about El-Sayed's views on Israel. The Democrat has called for ending U.S. military aid to Israel.
"He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates them," Trump said. "He hates them with a passion that burns in his heart and there's not a fricking thing he can do about it."
El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim senator, has rejected accusations of antisemitism.
"My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment to the safety of my own daughters," he said Wednesday morning.
Trump jogs to stop toddler from running off stage
The president invited up a Las Vegas couple who work as a police officer and casino waitress, along with their two very young children, to talk about the tax breaks on overtime and tips in Trump's sweeping legislation signed last year.
As Trump stepped aside to let them speak, their young toddler began quickly wandering off toward the edge of the stage.
Trump quickly moved to intercept the youngster, and then cracked a joke about his predecessor Joe Biden that was not quite audible.
Trump says 'we may have to' send oil prices higher
As he often does, the president predicted that oil prices will fall once the war in Iran is over – something he has been saying for weeks, but which has yet to fully come to fruition.
Trump, however, added a new wrinkle in his Las Vegas speech. He noted that the price of oil has stabilized somewhat recently, "And we may have to send it up again."
"We may have to — you know what happens when we send it up. But we hope we don't have to," the president said.
He didn't clarify what he meant by that. But oil prices have typically risen as the war in Iran continues — despite Trump's repeated assurances that the conflict will soon be over.
Trump revives little-mentioned health care plan
The president toward the end of his remarks in Las Vegas said that with the help of a Republican-controlled Congress, "We will pass the Great Healthcare Plan. It's called the Great Healthcare Plan."

Trump announced the outlines of the plan in January, but he has spent little time speaking about it since then.
The centerpiece of his proposal is to send money directly to Americans for health savings accounts to pay for insurance and health costs.
