President Clinton is expected to raise some $400,000 for the Democratic Party when he visits Las Vegas on Sunday, with $50,000 going to state Democrats.

Since he became president, Clinton has raised about $1.95 million for his party through appearances in Las Vegas.

Clinton, who is expected to arrive in Las Vegas before noon, will attend a brunch at the Henderson home of college friend and Las Vegas Sun Editor Brian Greenspun, where the national committee hopes to raise $300,000.

A second fund-raiser is planned at the Summerlin home of former Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones, where party officials hope to raise $100,000.

Clinton is scheduled to depart Las Vegas later in the day for appearances in California.
