Gamers bundle hundreds of thousands to Rory Reid

That's what I have found from delving into the Clark County Commission chairman's gubernatorial campaign report, which is at right. Station Casinos was first, but there are plenty of others who came close with tens of thousands of dollars, much more than the $10,000 statutory limit because they used different entities. The bundling accounts for slightly under a fifth of Reid's $3.3 million raised.

As you will see from some of the notables below, Reid also has some generous friends on the commission, in the development community and in Clintonworld. I have attached labels where I think they might be necessary:

Station Casinos $100,000

Binion family $80,000

Marnell family $70,000

Maloof family $70,000

Steve Cloobeck $60,000
