Obama enjoying life in Vegas as a high roller

An airplane, mansion, security service, and limousine aren’t the only perks of being president, apparently.

President Obama joked Tuesday night at a Las Vegas fundraiser for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that he can now finally get into those high-roller suites in Vegas’s legendary hotels, too.

Doing his best one man show, Obama told fundraiser attendees at Caesar’s Palace:

Hello Las Vegas! It is good to be back in Vegas. I thought I had a good room at Ceasar’s, but now that I am president they upgraded me, they have been stashing away a really nice room. Its like one of those high roller rooms. And now I have it because I am president. So thank you Ceasar’s.
