President Barack Obama wasted little time on his arrival Wednesday afternoon at McCarran International Airport.
Unlike his previous visits to the Las Vegas Valley, there were no crowds, political officials or Air Force officers on hand to greet him. Air Force One landed around 3:45, and 15 minutes later, Obama descended from the plane and immediately left in his motorcade.
Obama will be giving a campaign speech at 6:10 p.m. at the Cashman Center in downtown Las Vegas. The speech originally had been scheduled for 5:25 p.m. but international events caused the White House to delay the president's campaign trip by 45 minutes.
This is the president's eighth visit to Nevada in 2012 and his second in less than a month.
