U.S. President Donald Trump made an appearance at Las Vegas' beloved Circa Casino and Sportsbook on Saturday.
Trump proposed ending taxation of income from tips and overtime back in June as he courted service workers in the presidential swing state of Nevada. The tip-heavy hospitality industry comprises more than a fifth of jobs.
"Can you remember that little statement about tips?" Trump said during one of several inauguration day speeches on Monday. "Anybody remember that little statement? I think we won Nevada because of that statement."
Following his Las Vegas rally, Trump placed his bet on the Buffalo Bills to win this year's AFC Championship. The Bills were coming in as a +1.5 road dog as of Saturday evening.

Circa Casino co-founder Derek Stevens only learned of the president's planned visit on Wednesday.
“From my perspective, there’s a lot going through my mind when this happens,” Stevens said in a phone chat Friday. “The first thing is, when someone from the team of the president calls, you answer the phone.”
Stevens sat down with VSiN to discuss what he and Trump spoke about during the visit.
