The Horror Of Obama Continues To Haunt Las Vegas

From USA Today: With its kitschy crooners, blackjack tables and luxury hotel rooms, Las Vegas is a popular destination for trade shows, tourists and newlyweds.
But no longer, it seems, with bureaucrats.
Federal agencies have all but abandoned Las Vegas and other resort destinations — including Hawaii and Orlando — for government meetings and conferences, following a number of high-profile agency travel scandals and budget cutbacks.
The government spent just $92,736 on Las Vegas hotel rooms in fiscal year 2013, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal spending data.
That's down from a high of nearly $2.5 million in 2010, the year the General Services Administration spent $800,000 on a lavish conference at a Las Vegas resort featuring taxpayer-funded parties for top agency officials, $95-a-plate dinners and — for entertainment — clowns and mind readers....
But federal spending data tells a clear story: In an era of budget cuts, overall federal spending on hotel rooms — an incomplete but clear measure of travel spending — is down 27% since 2011, when it hit a high of $308 million....
The Obama Administration started shying away from Las Vegas even before the scandals. In 2009, a Justice Department memo instructed that meetings "are not to be held in cities that are vacation destinations/spa/resort/gambling." The Department of Agriculture also urged planners to select "a non-resort location," according to The Wall Street Journal....
President Obama himself has used Las Vegas as a metaphor for reckless spending, drawing protests from Democrats in Congress.
Just three weeks into his first term, Obama said bankers who get federal bailouts "can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime." A year later, he said, "You don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college."
Oscar Goodman, then the Democratic mayor of Las Vegas, called those comments "outrageous."  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/12/26/federal-conference-spending-leaving-las-vegas/4110573/
Obama has killed Federal spending in Las Vegas, even though you can get great deals on hotel rooms and food, as long as you don't go stupid.
But Obama, with his words of non-wisdom has hurt our local economy and our leader, Senile/Liar/Coward Harry Reid doesn't say a damn thing.
Not one thing.
Why does Senile/Liar/Coward Reid and Obama hate Las Vegas?
