The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that six cities are finalists to host the Republican National Convention in 2016, “including Las Vegas, Denver, Dallas, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Kansas City.”
“Las Vegas and Dallas are thought to be the favorites in the competition — thanks mostly to generous GOP donors who will help raise at least $60 million to put on the convention. But GOP leaders said the cities are all under equal consideration.”
