Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., raised more than $110,000 while in Las Vegas over the weekend.

The former first lady was here to speak Saturday night at an annual conference for International Profit Associates, a management consulting firm headed by longtime Clinton friend John Burgess, Clinton spokesman Joe Householder said.

The senator's husband, former President Bill Clinton, spoke at the company's annual conference two years ago, Householder said.

Clinton also attended two fund-raisers on Sunday, Patti Solis Doyle, executive director of Friends of Hillary, said from Washington.

Clinton raised between $60,000 and $75,000 at a $1,000-per-person brunch fund-raiser at Las Vegas Sun Editor Brian Greenspun's home, Doyle said. The Greenspun family owns the Sun.

"We did very well," Greenspun said. "Sen. Clinton has a lot of friends in Nevada."

Clinton also brought in $50,000 for the Nevada Democratic Party at a $500-per-person fund-raiser at Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid's home on Sunday, party spokesman Jon Summers said.
